Aerobic Base Training Week 7

Weight: 76.6 BMI: 14.1
Weighed in at 75.6 at my health check last week, so don't know if our scale is a bit heavy, or if I was just a bit dehydrated that day...

Sun: 1:10:25/143/Ultra. Almost bailed on this Sunday evening run after having friends over for lunch, but glad I didn't. Was a hot but nice evening, went out along the Arakawa with the intention of going as hard as possible within my MAR. Pretty stiff headwind going out, but also got a nice push on the way home. Bottom of right foot was a little sore at the end, but otherwise a good run.
Mon: Bike 33k
Tue: 41:11/141/BF/1/Conifdence Down. This was supposed to be an easy barefoot run along the Sumidagawa running path before going in to work. My legs were stiff from the beginning, but then got better, but the issue is that I started to get blisters in the middle of both feet, despite that I didn't feel like I was going that hard. I cut the run short to be cautious, but it didn't end up helping much, as I spent the rest of the day working up in Kashiwa and climbing a ladder in tabi many times, so by the end of the day, both feet were really screwed!
Wed: Bike 33k. Blisters really painful!
Thu: Bike 33k. Blisters better, but still hurt.
Fri: Rest. Had teaching in the morning, and then it was too hot to run. Couldn't time it right, so decided to take the day off.
Sat: 1:34:06/18.5/5:03/143/Zoom XC/2/Confidence down. This was supposed to be a faster long run, as I rested the day before and hadn't run since Tuesday. But my legs were stiff from the beginning, and the damn HRM wouldn't stop beeping. I have to attribute it to the heat and humidity, which were both intense, even at 8:30 a.m. Ran in my new Mizuno singlet and shorts, and was pretty happy with those, at least.

Total time: 3:25:42. I was thinking it was probably a good week to back off, and that's the way it worked out. I'll hope for better next week...
