- 10-20 minute warm-up
- 6x800 (1:30 RI)
- 10 minute cool-down
I went to my body worker on Tuesday who worked on my calf, which seemed to help my foot. Then I saw the doctor this morning, and he agreed that I had probably developed some extensor tendonitis and should keep stretching, icing, and running. I liked my doctor - he has a background in sports medicine and seemed to know what he is talking about. However, I'm still rather perplexed as to how I'm supposed to run without pain. Ah well. I'll try to get through the marathon and then have a rest.
Shockingly, today's workout did not bother my foot! I avoided uphills, walking up the big hill, and the rest was either flat or down. I could tell right about as I was near home, around mile 5.5 that my foot was likely about to start hurting, so I finished at the right time.
The track workout itself was pretty good. I took about a 3 minute rest in between the 3rd and 4th 800s as I was having trouble getting a full breath and starting to freak out about not having my inhaler. Looks like according to Nike Plus I was hitting somewhere around 8'22" give or take a lot on my paces, which isn't too bad, although the track isn't as long as it should be.
Overall, I was thrilled that my foot didn't hurt (although 5.5 miles does not a marathon make) and satisfied with my performance.
