Long Run Training (11 miles)

Notes:
It was a rather busy week that I did not have a chance to take a break and do any of my mid-week runs so I was a bit surprised with this training run. The day was good (or bad if I'm expecting hot weather in Camp Pendleton in April); anyway, it was a bit overcast and the ocean breeze sometimes got under your skin but overall, it was the perfect running condition for me. I ran with Irene today and was able to keep up with her (or rather, she slowed down for me! lol) as our average pace was around 11:00/mi-12:30/mi. We ran the 6:1 interval and actually stuck to it but for two stops cos I was having stomach cramps and the other was to refill my water bottle whilst Irene chatted with someone on the strand.

I'm not sure if it's psychosomatic but I started feeling pain in my plantar fascia. Again, I'm wondering if that started acting up because I had just been reading an article about how flat footed people commonly have this symptom. LOL. It's kinda hurting now as I type this but only because I'm thinking of it! ROFL. Weird, huh? Nothing to get worked up about, though.

Speaking of worked up, I'm going to workout in a bit and do some sort of resistance training — lol probably one set just for upper body resistance.

Again, overall, a great run considering the circumstances of not training mid-week. Mad props to Irene for running with me the entire 11-something miles! We were going to do 12, but I was like, this is enough! LOL. Also, I'm beginning to find it better to run with someone cos you both push each other… Any other running buddies out there? 🙂

As usual, stats below:

Garmin; Nike+:

p.s.,
I ran 15 miles last week (Valentine's Day) however, due to really freak technology errors, my distance, and heartrate weren't recorded! This is with having two effing systems on me (Garmin and Nike+)! Still can't believe both crashed.
