Michelle's Training Log: Week 5

All in all this was not a great week. The runs were OK, but tough to get in as Sean and I got married on the third. I did run three days, but did not get my long run. I plan to repeat week five next week. I continue to be amazed by the odd places that hurt and how the pain seems to pass. It's like I'm working out the kinks or something...

Short Run 1: 08/30/2005 @ 6:14am
Total Distance 4.94m, Avg Pace 10.48/mi, Avg Heart Rate 154bpm

Still running on the bay trail. This run went well; pace during the running lap now 9:40/mi.

Short Run 2: 09/01/2005 @ 7:15am
Total Distance 4.42m, Avg Pace 11:46/mi, Avg Heart Rate 149bpm

Lots of walking during this session. About 2/3s of the way through, my right foot started hurting -- sharp pain along the arch. I switched to walking immediately. A bit of digging revealed an apparently common source of pain - the plantar fascia. This was a fast run with my pace at 9:12/mi.

Long Run: 09/04/2005 @ 12:18pm
Total Distance 4.75m, Avg Pace 11:08/mi, Avg Heart Rate 155bpm

Not really a long run. Nothing hurt. :) I got a late start and decided to cut the run short due to heat and timing for the day.
