Solid week. Still some issues with the heels, but everything is getting stronger. Started doing some upper body work, with a pushup routine. Got beat by my 14 year old daughter – that girl is strong!!
Monday Run – 9.2 / 1:23 / 154avg Boneyard. Jogged over then did a medium effort for 4 laps. Lap 1 was great, 2-3 sucked because my calves got super tight again causing my feet to go somewhat numb. Instead of stopping and letting them settle down, I kept going and focused on relaxing through it. Before long things eased up and I had a much better 4th lap.
53 pushups

Tuesday Bike – 27.7 / 1:24 / 149avg Good workout, not the greatest results. Beat last weeks time by a whole 13 seconds!! Need to get the average up closer to 23mph.
20 / 54:54 (21.9mph)

Wednesday Run – 6 / 1:04 /134avg Was a little nervous about this one. 2 weeks to the day since I tore my calf muscle, and similar circumstances. A VFF jog the day after a hard bike ride. Worked out great, though. A bit tight in the calves, but no problem. Great day out. Took it super easy and concentrated on letting my heel drop to the ground a little more than normal. I think I have developed the habit of keeping up on my forefoot with my heel slightly raised, especially in the VFFs. I need to relax that area a bit more, but still stay smooth.

Thursday Run – 12 / 1:38 / 154avg Really felt this one in the hamstrings! left over from bike? pushups? good sign since nothing ever gets worked besides my calves??

Friday Day off. 41 Pushups.

Saturday Run – 31 / 4:48 / 147avg Ahhh. Needed this one. Nice long run. Ran home after the kids basketball game and a movie (Rango, meh). Lots of hills in the first half, mostly flat after that. Heels were a big issue, but everything else felt good. Happy with the fitness at this point all things considered. I can really feel the strength from the bike workouts coming through at the end of a run like this. |

Total Time – 10:55

Pic of the Week

This poor guy looks like he augered in from a considerable height. It also sums up how I felt during the second half of Leadville last year.
