10/13 to 10/19: Managed Well

In my efforts to keep the left leg issues at bay (some sort of tendinitis), I took it easy-ish last week.

This week I was aiming to do the same thing, and it started off well. I skipped the Sunday long run since I was travelling and didn't feel like squeezing it in, opting instead for an easy run enjoying the fall weather. Then Monday was the Tufts 10k, and I could not do too much after standing around for so long...

Track Tuesday continues to go very well, and this week was no different...and with the help of a double on Wednesday and Friday, I was able to hit 60+ for the week. So yeah, I'm managing the injury well!

Stuff:

Sunday 13-Oct Long Run 0:08:14 6.01 Easy run. Started w/Eli and Raleigh, then a few more on my own. Left shin was tender, so I chose not to try for a longer run.
Monday 14-Oct Tufts 10k Volunteering 0:08:00 6.30 Great weather. Then ran a sucky 6+ home - standing for hours really sucked the life out of my legs.
Tuesday 15-Oct Intervals 0:08:19 12.01 1000/600/400/800x4 - Felt flat for the first two 800's, then the legs woke up. Very happy with the splits all around though. Especially while feeling 'flat'.
Wednesday 16-Oct Easy/Moderate 0:07:30 10.12 Easy afternoon run, then 6 after work that went much faster than planned - the legs just felt good.
Thursday 17-Oct Moderate 0:07:48 10.01 AM massage. PM - first 4 at 8+, next 6 at a quick pace. Left leg felt a little 'meh' at times, but really not too bad.
Friday 18-Oct Easy/Moderate 0:08:11 10.26 Ran to work, then ran in the evening at a solid clip.
Saturday 19-Oct Easy 0:08:15 6.09 Fantastic weather. Handled clip board duties at Fresh Pond, then a nice run with Eli along the Charles.
Splits: 
1000 - 3:34.34
600 - 2:03.50
400 - 1:21.50
800 - 2:45.15
800 - 2:46.15
800 - 2:44.28
800 - 2:36.70

Total: 60.80
