Been a tough week. Missed a few days, although partially due to what I'd consider a rookie mistake in my long run on Sunday.
I got a new pair of shoes end of last week and was eager to try them out so I laced them up and took them for my 2 HR long run. 24 KM later and I have the largest blisters I had ever seen on the inside balls of my feet.
So that wrote off Monday & Tuesday. I managed to get them healed up for Wednesday and headed out for my 10K easy and did my 1K's yesterday.
Felt a bit tired during the first and 2nd reps, thought I was going a bit slower, but the times were consistent with what I've been doing cycle to cycle.

Something I'd like your feedback on.
Here's my ideal race schedule for the coming months. I'm trying to plan out when I should take my break... I'm thinking physically it should be done possibly after my 21K in May... which is doable, I'll just drop the 5K beginning of June...
What are you're thoughts?
May 20th - 21 K
June 2nd - 5K
June 17th 10K
July 8th - 10K
August 6th - 6 Miler
Sept 15th - 21K
Oct 7th - 10K
Oh, and one other thing I forgot to mention. We're having a MASSIVE rain storm here today... so I was thinking of moving my 40 min easy to tomorrow and then the 5K paced on Sunday. Is that OK? Or am I not giving myself the rest I need between the easy and quality session?
Cheers,
Ian
