Upper body workout in the morning, then I had to run up to Layton to watch Jane's cheer competition. She was really good. I ran outside for the first time this year. It is always a shock to run on the road after a month or so on the treadmill. The sun was out. It was nice. I'm trying to keep my long runs at about a 10mm pace. I ended up averaging about that, but my pace varied with the terrain. I tried to focus on cadence. It was more difficult to keep up than on the treadmill. I don't know what the new shoes are doing to my feet, but my feet were sore and numb for the first 5 miles. It is like they are ruining my older shoes. I don't know if it is that my other shoes are worn out or something else. I have run on shoes that were gone before and didn't have these kinds of problems. The hamstring flared up more. I think it was the strain of running outside and uphill more than the distance. I ran farther last week on the treadmill without much trouble. I expect this to be with me the whole time. I was encouraged that it seemed to be getting better, but I'm not optimistic enough to think it will just go away. Strava |
