The bad news is a symposium I had to attend today regarding a new school meant I had to miss the XC team's meet this afternoon. On a selfish note, the good news is it did leave me time to get in my own run. Weather was what I consider perfect for running: mid-50s and sunny.
Perhaps invigorated with the weather, I ran at a pretty good pace today on an extremely hilly route and it felt easy. I really enjoyed the long climb to the top of the ridge. Actually, I think taking the past two days off from running also contributed. The good news about that is that the plantar fasciitis continues to fade away and now the shin splints appear to be making an exit as well. Could I finally be turning the proverbial corner? Man, I hope so.
Worth noting that the veggie wrap I had for lunch didn't sit too well in my stomach, and I puked a little upon reaching the top of the ridge. I didn't stop or slow down for it though, just turned my head and ralphed while running. Felt better after that.
Ran 8.0 miles @ 7:46/mile pace.
