Run / Hike 30:56 [3] 3.07 mi (10:05 / mi)

Jogging. I started at the Spring Hill College campus, went south to Dauphin Street, north on McGregor to Old Shell Road, then back through the campus to my starting point.

Run / Hike 34:18 [3] 3.28 mi (10:27 / mi)
slept:7.0 shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR


The warmth and humidity here in Mobile feel SO GREAT after the recent bitter cold in Denver.

I jogged through a hilly neigborhood in intermittent heavy rain. I never found the cut-through to the park I was looking for, but the rain generated lots of nice flowery smells (camellias, I think).

    • Note


    I went to bed at around midnight and tossed and turned 'til 4:00 am this morning. Then I woke up sporadically until I had to get up at 8:30 am. I need to spend some time reading the "Power Sleep" site Ross posted. I know that my CHOICE to have coffee at noon yesterday was a factor (as well as some anxiety about Christmas gifts, of all things...)

    Sunday Dec 14, 2008 #

    Run / Hike 33:58 [3] 3.02 mi (11:15 / mi)
    slept:11.0


    Jogged two laps around Troy's neighborhood in Elizabeth -- even though it's 0° and snowing. I cried a little bit on the way out the door (actually, it was whining, not crying), but it wasn't bad at all once I got going. I wore my heavier (warmer) day-hiker shoes with my YakTrax attached.

    Run / Hike 31:45 [3] 3.12 mi (10:11 / mi)
    slept:6.0 weight:130lbs shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR


    Today's the last nice day before a week of "arctic" cold (highs in the teens), and my scale hit a milestone today (130). So I figured I better get in gear -- especially since I'll be making Christmas cookies next week, and that means eating lots of cookie dough (sugar, butter, etc.).

    I jogged at Davidson Mesa. Saw a few prairie dogs and bunnies. I hope they're prepared for tomorrow's arctic blast. I also saw two nearly complete, brand new homes on two lots along the trail that were vacant the last time I was there. A sad commentary on how long it's been since I've jogged on a regular basis... Luckily the trail was nice and dry, considering how much snow we had last week.

    Rock Climbing (indoor) 1:00:00 [3]


    Rock climbing at the gym with Troy. Five routes: 5.8, 5.9, 5.10-, 5.10, 5.10

    Strength / Stretching (Strength Training Runners) 53:28 [3] 1.2 mi (44:34 / mi)
    slept:6.0 weight:126lbs shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR


    Strength Training for Runners class:

  • Jog two laps to warm up.

  • Three sets of (three-minute "killer" plank / high-knees / butt-kickers / galloping / shuffling / hops x 12)

  • Three sets of (star jumps x 10 / front-back jumps x 10 / side-to-side jumps x 10 / push-ups x 10 / reverse crunches x 20)

  • Three sets (lunge jumps x 10 per leg / heel walking / toe walking)

  • Jog ten laps to cool down.

    I felt pretty queasy afterwards. Either it was my late lunch not settling well, or it was a tough workout. Maybe both.

    Strength / Stretching 10:00 [1]
    slept:6.0 weight:129lbs


    Shovelling snow -- only because I knew the UPS man was coming.

    Strength / Stretching (Strength Training Runners) 54:03 [3] 1.5 mi (36:02 / mi)
    shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR


    Strength Training for Runners class:

  • Jog five laps to warm up.

  • Three sets of (high knees / butt-kickers / shuffling / fast-skips / 75-second plank (the last of the three was a two-minute plank)).

  • Three sets of (tuck jumps x 8 / scissor jumps x 8 per leg* / side-to-side jumps x 8 / push-ups x 10 / crunches x 20).

  • Three sets of (one-leg forward jumps x 10 per leg / plank with leg lift x 10 per leg)

  • Two minutes of heel walking and toe walking.

  • Jog 10 laps to cool down.

    * The hip / butt area that was aching as I ran errands this afternoon decided to kick into high-gear during the scissor jumps. I ended up just doing one-leg lunges on my other leg. Maybe I tweaked something when I was shovelling snow this morning? I'm not sure what it is, but it really hurts. Piriformis? I did some stretching and "pigeon pose", but that didn't relieve the pain. I also have sort of a mild dead-leg (numb) feeling, which makes me wonder if a nerve is pinched.
