Training Log Archive: Spike

Ran on the river trails with OKers -- Sanna, Gene, Dick, Grover, Carolyn (she biked the levee), and Mary. The river was high. After the run we had a bagel brunch. I had to leave early to catch a flight.

Shadowing Matt C. at Bastrop. Matt ran like a mad-man, I struggled to keep up. But, he boomed a lot. I did something to strain or stress my left achilles. Scary. I'm re-starting my control count. ST=4

Sunny and dry all day, except when it was time to mow the lawn. When I got home the sky was green, thunder was crashing, and the rain was blowing sideways. Too wet to mow. Tomorrow is a trail run with Sanna and OKers, then I'm off for four days of O' training.

Ran along parts of the bunny loop. There is only one bit of string left (about 100 meters long). I did 10 minutes at an honest effort -- actually closer to a race effort. Still too wet to mow the lawn. (Maybe I can get Sanna to mow the lawn when she visits?)

Took a nice easy jog around the neighborhood. It was cool (60s) and rainy. The rain kept me from mowing the lawn.

I ran on the river trails. There were a lot of mountain bikers out (I counted 33 cars in the lot). I managed to avoid being run down. I threw in ten minutes at an honest effort near the end (it reminded me of chasing Mook at the end of Late Night).

I rode on the bunny loop. The long string on the south side of the loop is gone. There is a shorter string (about 500 meters) along Amity Road (about half a mile north of the long string that disappeared). I need to develop a string theory.

I ran at Weston Bend (carried the map and looked at it now and then). It was a nice day for a run. I explored a few parts of the park I'd never been.
