1/11/15 to 1/17/15: Injury Sminjury, Run Through It! Cautiously...

My right leg/IT/whatever is still pretty bunk, but I've been able to run through it - and this week I was able to get in a slight bit more of quality. It's been a little touch and go, but I still prefer to run through an injury, albeit cautiously. If I can run easy, and it doesn't get worse as the run continues, I tend to think that's better than a complete day off.

Here's the numbers:

11-Jan		Long Run		0:07:47		18.34		Took two ibu and ran over to the group run. Never felt great. Surprised at the pace, I thought the poor footing would be reflected a bit more. Right leg held up well enough.
12-Jan		Easy/Easy		0:07:39		10.16		AM: 4m commute at 7:39. Right leg bunk at the beginning and then was manageable by the end. PM: 6m+ commute home at around 8min per, I think. Right leg held up, but still meh.
13-Jan		Easy/Tempo		0:07:10		15.07		AM: 4m commute at 7:30. PM: 1 mile warm up, then 10m at just under 7min pace. Right leg isn't 100%, but this felt like a good tempo type effort considering cold/black ice/leg/backpack.
14-Jan		Easy/Easy		0:07:40		10.21		AM: 4m commute at 7:30. PM: 6+ at 7:50.
15-Jan		Easy/Easy		0:07:40		12.21		AM: 4m commute at 7:35/mile. PM: Commute home plus a couple. 8 tot at ~8/mile.
16-Jan		Easy/Intervals				17.42		AM: 4m commute at 7:35/mile. PM: Commute home, ran to track. 1000x3/800/400x3/200x3.  Spiderman lunges hurt during warm up. Right leg held up.
17-Jan		Easy				5.04		Easy around the Charles. Legs are beat up.

Splits:

1000-3:19.92

1000-3:19.84

1000-3:19.18

800-2:39.25

400-1:13.25

400-1:11.66

400-1:12.25

200-33.44

200-32.33

200-31.xx

Really pleased with this workout. The splits were pretty much spot on. The 400's were a little bit off, but I typically take a few reps to get used to mile pace, so that seems about right with only three in the workout. The 200s felt pretty smooth, and I wanted to open it up a bit more on the last one with my new spikes (only worn for the final rep), but I was feeling the heaviness from the spiderman lunges. Maybe another time.

Total: 88.45
