5:00 pm) sunny nice
Ran hard from the start. I tried to run on my toes more and
not heel strike to avoid the contact. The good news is my
heel is better. It still hurts some but much better than 24 hours
ago. I will test it tomorrow at UWGB trail and hopefully that goes
good so I will still be able to run long on Saturday at UWGB.

Tonight I went to the running club meeting. We had a guest speaker
it was on nutrition. A topic I need lots of improvement. I learned a
few things and basically I need to due a 180 on the way I eat. I eat
like a non athlete. I know it will help my running it's just a matter of
getting serious about it and taking the time to prepare the foods
rather than eating fast foods or frozen foods all the time. I have
started to eat a little bit better but I am far from where I should be.

Day off

O miles
Unscheduled day off. My heel hurts more today than yesterday.
I'm starting to wonder if it's not Plantar Fascitis? Standing on it
today at work was even painful and when I would walk I was
trying not to put pressure on it. I might not run tomorrow either.
I'm going to wait and see. I want it to heal and running on it will
not help. I have never had Plantar Fascitis so I don't know for sure
if that's what this is or it could just be bruised. Either way it hurts.

Felt tired at the start but by mile 4 I was feeling good.
My throat was sore today so I'm not sure if I'm coming
down with something. I hope not. Right heel still sore.
Tried to run more on my toes tonight to avoid the impact.

11:45 am) upper 50's Sunny
Felt surprisingly good. Not sore from yesterday's long run.
The only thing that hurts is my right heel it feels as if I bruised it.
Couple of milestones for me this week.
1. 70 mile week first time.
2. 25 Mile training run my longest.
I am feeling better every week and I should be ready to go
for the 50k run. Looking forward to it.

7:45 am) cold at the start upper 30's
warmed up in low 50's by the finish.
Interesting run today. Started out normal enough.
First 6 miles were pretty easy kind of out in the open
not much for hills and lots of tall grass with a single
lane trail going through. That was the Yellow trail then
it ended and we picked up the Orange trail it had more
hills and after a couple miles it turned from packed dirt
to loose sand. The sand was like at the beach very deep
and soft. It was very hard to run in it. I tried to run
up on the shoulder when posible to avoid it. This sand
took a lot of the energy out of me and made for a long
day. We ran the orange trail till about mile 12 and had to
make a decision do we keep going and hope to find another
trail that would take us back to the car or just turn around
and run the 12 miles back. We decided not to risk it and
turned around. Well this would have been a good plan if we didn't
make a wrong turn some where along the line. We ended up running
in circles. We could not find the Yellow trail that would take
us back. Eventually we saw a highway it was highway 67. Well
we parked on highway 67 so we new we could follow that back
to the car. The only thing we didn't know how far it was back to
the car. At this point we had 21 miles in. We ran along the
highway till we hit mile 25. Luckily at mile 25 it happened to
be right in the town of Eagle. There was a gas station so we stoped
and asked how much further. They said about 2 more miles. We
decided we did not want to run anymore so we were going to walk the
rest. As we walked out of the gas station a lady was filling up her car
and said didn't I see you guys on the trail earlier. We got to
talking and told her we ran 25 miles and asked if she could
give us a lift to our car. She agreed she would do it even
though she was not heading in that direction. Well it turned
out to be 3 or 4 miles back. Thank goodness she gave us a ride.
So needless to say it was an interesting run. My body is very sore
and tired. Hope I recover quick.

5:30 pm) 3 miles
6:00 pm) 8 miles
mid 50's cloudy cool
Ran 3 miles by myself then joined the running group
at 6:00 for 8 miles. I thought we would run around
7:30 pace especially after the first mile of 7:45.
As we went on each mile got faster. By the last mile
it was basically all out 5:57. Run felt good but I'm
tired. Have not pushed that hard in some time. No HR
info tonight. Probably a good thing. I think I maxed
out the last mile. I will take it easy tomorrow.
