I have been progressing well. I was fairly convinced the pinched nerve in the back was the end of me. My left leg is still a bit numb, but not enough to impinge training.
I have simplified training. I cover 6.3 miles 6 days a week and the long run Saturday. Put in 55.1 miles last week. On Tuesday and Thursday I light out on a tempo run. Generally 2-4 miles and keep the weekly tempo total to 6 miles for now. Because there is no pressure to hit certain times the effort is challenging, but worth it. I actually averaged 8:37 on the last 4 miler.
I am also working on weight reduction. The goal is at least 172. Started at 185 and at 181 now I see a difference. I try and get in most of the calories alloted. If I go to low then I'm about ready to go back to the Way of the Fist Track Club.
Bought a new pair of Hoka Clifton's. I like them and all, but the 13's are definitely a clown show. Managed 11:35 pace in them for 17.2 on 50/50 trail/pavement.
