"Week 9" - Still sick (8M / 3 runs)

Flu-like virus hung around until Wednesday. I did some walk-jog's on Wednesday thru Friday to sweat without bringing down my immune system. I rested on Saturday I ran hard on Friday and am trying to be careful with my shins.

Wednesday - 2.25M of 100m run, 100m walk

Thursday - 4M of 150m run, 50m walk

Friday - 1.5M of 300m hard, 100m walk (worked down and finished at 64"; most were mid 70's... finally felt smooth and strong!) + about 3M of diagonals during Dawn's workout

3M easy. [Track, Hokas, DP 68, H 65%, T 81]. Average pace was 8:42. 9:06, 8:41, 8:18. This run felt like a marathon. No joke! I felt like I was running completely on empty! Thankfully, my foot was fine today, which is way more important than feeling good! :) Butt and shins are the big issues still.
4 x 100m strides. Started easy and kept them all very controlled. Didn't want to strain as the last time I did I stirred up my Pectineus. 27, 25, 23, 21.
2M easy. [Treadmill, Launch 2]. Average pace was 8:23. 8:27, 8:19. Felt much better energy-wise on this run. Butt and shins still an issue.
