Training Log Archive: Spike

I got up and going relatively early (before 8) and ran at PNS. I did 4 x the White Squirrel Hill. I felt pretty good and was moving better than last weekend.

I probably won't get much more running done this weekend. The weather is depressing:

AN EXCESSIVE HEAT WARNING IS ISSUED WHEN THE COMBINATION OF HOT TEMPERATURES AND HIGH HUMIDITY IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN HEAT INDICES EXCEEDING 105 DEGREES...FOR FOUR OR MORE CONSECUTIVE DAYS. BE SURE TO DRINK PLENTY OF FLUIDS...STAY IN AN AIR- CONDITIONED ROOM...STAY OUT OF THE SUN...AND CHECK UP ON RELATIVES AND NEIGHBORS.

Some time on the rower after some sweaty work in the garage and before a nice dinner of Gazpacho. Aactually, I'm not sure the dinner will be nice as (a) I haven't yet eaten it, and (b) this is my first try at making Gazpacho. I should know in a few minutes.

short row before heading off for a nice dinner to celebrate Mary's b-day.

A bit of time on the rower after mowing the lawn.

On the river trails with 5 x 400 meters (1 minute rests). With all the rain the last day or so, the trails haven't gotten much use. I took a few spider webs in the face.

I managed to wake up and get out the door by 7. That's the responsible thing to do in the summer. I went to PNS and ran on the trails.

I put in 3 x the White Squirrel Hill (begin at the base of the hill and run to the high point on the east loop trail - it took me about 4 minutes).

Back home in time to site on the couch, drink a cup of coffee, and watch the live TDF coverage.

A little time on the rower.
