Ran the 3.2 mile loop today at a nice pace that felt sustainable: 8.59. Bodyfat has been dropping lately too (looks like I’ve just edged into my goal bodyfat!), but weight isn’t doing much. I could stand to eat healthier, though, that’s for sure (not gonna happen).
I ate pretty good yesterday, I guess! Weight is way up, and I can feel it. Tasty huge cinnamon roll at Camp 18 yesterday morning, plus some great brats and beer for dinner. Whew!
Today’s sprints went fine. No pulled muscles or anything. My Achilles tendon is still sore, but I’m hitting the Aleeve and that […]
Taking a little rest right now. Got a strange pain in my left Achilles tendon that won’t go away. Probably from the new shoes plus the superfeet inserts. They make my heels higher than normal and I think that’s hurting the tendon when I run. Gonna let it rest for a couple of days (yesterday […]
Ran the 1.5 mile loop after a few days off (never did run in Boise). I pushed a little harder (and left Frodo at home) and ended up with a 7.34 minute/mile pace. Pretty good.
In about a week, we’re going to visit friends in Redmond. There’s a 5k in Bend that they’re going […]
Ran a little longer today. Felt like I needed to after not running since Thursday. Never did make it down to the skatepark, since it stayed wet all weekend. Today’s loop went at a 8.85 minute pace. Seems like I could’ve gone a little faster, but there was a section in there where I was […]
Didn’t run yesterday or today. Yesterday was a legit rest day, but today I worked hard moving lots of (heavy) furniture. Just got back from moving a pipe organ up to the second floor of someone’s house! There were six of us moving that thing–it was heavy!
Tomorrow I’ll probably go skate in the morning. Also […]
I decided to run at the track this morning to see if I could do 3.25 miles with sub 8-minute miles. I had it all figured out that I needed to basically run each lap faster than 2 minutes. I didn’t account for the fact that the outside lane of the track is .025 longer […]
Didn’t really stretch this morning, at least not in the usual way. I went down to where I run sprints and did some light stretching there. Definitely not my 10 minute routine. Worked okay, though. No torn or sprained parts.
Ran the 3.2 mile loop this morning at a 8.49 minute/mile pace. I’m pretty sure I can get below 8 if I do a better job of pacing myself. I push hard at the beginning and then I’m wasted at the end. I also need to train on some hills because hills destroy me. Feels […]
Ran sprints this morning, kinda late–6:30ish. Went fine. I did an additional stretch of my quads this time. I stretch for 10 minutes before running, but don’t usually stretch quads. I think I’ll add them in on sprint days because my quads gave me no trouble this morning.
