161/204 Tuesday

[Spirit Unleashed]

In honor of Habs, carried the thread title theme another day.

I'm at work. Morning workout done. I have a meeting this evening so don't know if anything else will happen.

Woke up feeling a little under the weather. Think my body is saying REST after 6 weeks of no rest, a trip to Cape Breton, a trip to Washington for a half marathon, a marathon, 9 adult visitors and a baby, plus overtime at work almost everyday. Phew.

Morning! Gorgeous morning here in the GTA! As a result I went a bit further than intended. 13K was the distance with 10 X 30s strides along the Hydro Corridor.

Mmm should that title not be 161/204 or are we in some sort of 2 day leap year

1k repeats on order today. Fantastic weather again...love it.

Good morning! Normally I would have run about 12 km this morning, but my running buddy is out of town and my left heel is giving me some issues, so I made it a day for 6 miles on the elliptical instead. Re: the heel. For some time now - for sure this started before Boston - I have noticed some pain in my left heel at the beginning of a run, very localized, which typically disappears within the first 1 to 2 km. For the remainder of my run, there will be a bit of discomfort or no particular sensation at all. And then nothing afterwards. It's annoying, but since it was so self-limiting, I was more or less ignoring it. However, in the last couple of weeks I've started to notice that same pain when I first get up in the mornings, or a few hours after exercise. The Internet Doctors tell me that it might be a plantar fasciitis issue. I've started wearing the infamous Strassberg Sock at night and it seems to make a difference. A few days of rest from running might be in order but that sure is hard to do...

I think I need one more rest day. My legs are still feeling pretty fatigued and sore! Better today though than yesterday. :)

Easy 10ish km for me this morning, mostly on trails. I'm in a bit of a mini taper- headed off to the Adirondacks tomorrow afternoon with my 13 y/o daughter for a couple days of backpacking, and then racing on Saturday- the Great Adirondack Trail Run.

47 mins on the rowing machine this morning. Now to face the sunshine....

Tae-boxe at lunchtime and about 20K cycling commute.

Speedwork Tuesday: 8x1K threshold (3:40, 3:39, 3:38, 3:37, 3:36, 3:35, 3:34, 3:30) with 200m jog recoveries + WU/CD for 15K. A grade 10 kid tagged along for this workout and it looks like we'll have to keep an eye out for him in a couple years.

5K for me in greenbelt. I turned my ankle about 1.5K in and hobbled on for the rest of the run and actually finished in decent time. It's starting to stiffen up now though, so I could be nursing it a bit for the next day or two. It's been a while since I've sprained an ankle, good to feel it again, LOL

[RobW]

I did 3k wu followed by 8k tempo and 1k cd for 12k.

An easy 8 km run for me tonight.

It should have been an easy 6.6k run tonight but it felt hard. According to Garmin we were hitting some quick paces but I don't know if I believe it. I needed to up my drugs, my lungs are not liking the air quality these days.
