July Training Plan

I ran two miles yesterday as fast as I could and was only averaging nine minute and thirty second miles. I am still hobbled by a sore left leg. I have two races scheduled for early July. If my leg remains a hindrance after the second race, I plan to eliminate running for the last two weeks of July and begin a brief strength training program in its place during those two weeks.

I had rested for eleven days in the beginning of June, which in hindsight was maybe a couple days away from completely healing. I was making great progress in my times until shortly after the May 16th five mile run in Lansdale PA. Since then my times have regressed.
