Running down a dream

Last night I ran 7.45m at the gym. It was kind of on accident which is pretty ironic. I wanted to run at least 4 but then Villanova was on and then I don't know I was already at 6miles, might as well make it a 'long' run.

I had no problems running but I have noticed my foot has a new issue. The outer section of my foot, top side, under my toes (so the bridge of your foot maybe? but the outer side) feels like it has rugburn in it. Not on it, in the muscle. It's an interesting feeling and it doesnt ever hurt... I just feel it when I press on it. WEIRD. Also my knee twinged so I know its time to do more strength! and speed!

Since I'm running the San Diego half in June I'm looking to set my goals high. I want to run in 2:10. I think that's totally doable. Especially if I don't have to up my runs past say 7 or 8 miles until like late April. I think I can easily (well not easily really) get up to running 5-6 miles at 10 min pace within a month... after that will be the challenge.

This weeks plan is to run tomorrow after work and then again Thursday (easy 3) and then Saturday run 5-6m. That will put me at 19 or so for the week. Right where I want to be :)
