The long run went well this past weekend but for some reason the day after, not so much! On Friday before my long run my back was in some pain and for my run Saturday it stayed that way, especially the first part of my run. It finally did loosen up and felt normal about half way in. The second problem came after I finished, my foot was in pretty good pain. It kept me from running at all on Sunday. It was hurting again Monday but I went out anyway and it began to loosen up and since then it has been fine.
Part of that might have been being stubborn on my part. I have been trying to hang on a little bit longer to running shoes I should have set aside. I have put them away now.
I have also confirmed my training plan for the rest of the year. I will be using a modified hanson training plan getting ready for the 50k and goofy. I like it because the mileage is pretty high and the number of runs in the 7-10 mile range are to my liking. All that being said I am looking forward to getting ready for the busy race season ahead.
