no coached training run today. it's a mentor led yoyo run along the marina. yoyo=you're on your own=no water stops. the planned run for me was 3-5 miles (full marathon 6 miles), so i planned to run 5 miles. it was a beautiful day. not too hot. not too windy. at the 2.5 turn around point, i decided to do 6 miles. the weekend warrior in me saw that no one was turning around, and i figured what was 1 more mile. i did 6.6 the week before andthe blister on my arch seemed fine.
of course, it's not until the turnaround point that my aggravations start, and i have no choice to finish. the plus is that i kept the same pace for all 6 miles. i didn't slow down, nor did i stop :) at mile 5 left hip started to get stiff (no matter how far i run it's always the last mile that is hard~ whether it's 3 or 7 miles). it wasn't til the end of the run that my right arch blister started to hurt again. i had custom orthotics, but of course i lost them at the beginning of the season and i've been running without. i paid the $$$ for replacements, but i've been waiting 2 months. oh orthotics are you here yet?
