4 Mile Run (A+) -- 166.5--

LOS FELIZ -- Ran a nice easy push on the first part of the loop. Really hot today. One of those days where the red ball on the thermometer is still floating alone at the top of the glass at 9pm.

It said it was 90 on the bank sign, but it might not have been quite that bad. Sun was halfway down...I'd say high 80s. 88. Ran well. Finished hard. Wicking.

Anywho, it was faster than the first two of this week. Thinking of limiting myself to three runs (including speed work) per week and limiting mileage. Then we'll fill in the blanks with cross training...bike, swim (eventually), jump rope, yoga, self-defense (hopefully! dammmm I miss karate.) This should not only limit the fatigue/overuse/whatever-the-hell-heel injuries, but improve the flexibility of the ankles and strengthen the quads to prevent injuries. It's all about the runs...but I've got to pace myself to make sure I don't hit a patch where I can't for weeks and months.
