The week started strong and ended with a whimper. Started with a good tempo run Tuesday, and a medium/long run Wednesday. I planned an easy paced six for Thursday, but ended up running it at almost tempo pace again. Wednesday evening, UPS delivered the new shoes I ordered, a pair of Saucony Kinvaras. I'm working at developing the "Chi Running" form, and wanted to try one of the "minimalist" shoe designs to help facilitate a midfoot running form. The Kinvaras were so light and flexible that the run seemed to take less effort, so I ran a little faster than I intended Thursday. I did slow it down a little Saturday, and intended to do a longer run Sunday. Saturday afternoon, building a fence gate, my hand slipped and I slightly punctured my left thumbnail with a screwdriver. I still thought I'd run the next day, but by Sunday afternoon, the wound was still slowly seeping blood through the bandage. I decided that it wasn't wise to run and elevate my HR to 150 bpm with even a small seeping wound. All's well though. By Sunday evening, bleeding had stopped. I saw my doctor Monday morning and she gave me a tetanus shot and antibiotics.
