I know, I know, boring week with only one run and two judo workouts.  Sorry, but running an ultra tends to lead to boring recovery weeks afterwards. *smile*

I felt pretty good this week overall with only sensitivity issues in my feet.  The gravel I ran on last week (the BIG railroad sized gravel, not the small country road type) really tore the balls of my feet up being a forefoot runner.  I should have known better, but honestly I don’t remember the rocks being bad last year.  I guess the cushion shoes I used to wear really provided more protection than I realized.

Hip flexors are still a little fragile from the last training iterations, but nothing that some strength training and lower mileage won’t cure.  All in all I am feeling great, and ready for the next challenge. (more on this in my next post)
