Sunday Long Run

I had a great long run this afternoon.  The weather was awesome (42 degrees) and the sun was shining down on me.  I ran 9.34 miles with a pace of 9:34/mile.  That's kinda interesting when you look at that 9.34@9:34.  My legs felt great.  I have been having a little trouble with my lower left leg lately.  I think I have a tendon issue on the inside of the lower leg and foot.  I have been doing some isolated strength exercises (mainly ankle and foot work) along with my regluar strength training.  I still continue to do Coach Jay Johnson's warm-up and cool-down followed by yoga.  I finished the week with 25 miles of running.  

It's Christmas eve and I went to the gym this morning and worked my chest and legs.  There is nothing better than a workout on the holidays.  That is the best present you can give yourself.  I did a great tempo run yesterday and finished my workout with a night at the gym.  I have been doing well with my yoga and I am still doing the Coach Jay Johnson Myrtl routine.  Coach Jay has some great routines for runners at his website.  Just google Coach Jay Johnson.  I will be doing my long run for the week on Chrsitmas.  I will post an update from this weeks training.
