Notes
Think I've figured out the heel situation, at least to the point were I can manage it. Basically that just means running in higher cushioned shoes for a while. Was able to land a temp today, and took about 30min to get going. I did a few exorcizes before I got out the door to insure no heel flair ups.
Warm up to the Cedar Lake Trail. Did some form drills and got rolling. I was hoping to start around 6 min and get down to 5:30 for 7 miles. Ended up getting out a little quick, but was fine. The entire first 5 and a half miles were into the wind, which was starting to wear on be around 30 minutes. Got to the Green way and had a slight tail wind the last mile and a half. Overall, it was a pretty even effort. I managed to through a few strides in on my way back home.
It was a good feeling to get a harder effort in after not really doing much since the 10 mile. We'll see how the xc circuit goes I guess.
