One week to go

This wasn't quite the workout I was planning on today. After a week off the foot, I was fully expecting to get out for a nice medium length, medium intensity run. So at 8 o'clock, that's what I set out to do. By two minutes into the run, the scheduled eight miler was getting cut down to three. By 4 minutes and 33 seconds, the run was over. My foot is still a no-go. I hiked back home rather than risk doing any more damage. I'm not going to make that mistake again this week. I'll give it another couple of days to rest, and try again on Tuesday. If there's no joy then, I guess I'll have to take the rest of the week off, and plan on heading into the unknown next Sunday.

I'm obsessively checking the weather in Huntsville next weekend. I have three different weather websites bookmarked, and check every day to see if anything's different, and what the consensus seems to be. I may have some issues, eh?

In place of the run, I knocked out another moderate effort session on the trainer. One hour, the first thirty minutes at zone 1-2, the next at 200w, a solid zone 2 effort. If I can't run, then I might as well get my bike as sharp as possible.

Run: 4:33
Bike: 60 minutes, zone 1-2, w/30 minutes @ 200w
