Training Log Archive: Spike

PTOC sprint at Watkins Mill. I enjoyed the chance to run in an area that was brand new to me. The relatively cool temps and low humidity were very nice. I struggled with breathing, but otherwise felt like I was moving pretty well. My right calf was a little strange.

After the race we went to Wabbash BBQ in Excelsior Springs. Good company and good food.

Headcam Video will follow.

Jogging to warm up.

Work commute. The storm came through while I was eating breakfast and had stopped by the time I was on the road. Nice. The trip home wasn't as lucky. I got a bit wet. I'd have made it easily if I'd left work on time. I stayed late working on a bunch of data on invoices (which is actually a bit interesting).

Short run with a trip to the grocery store.

Today was walk-to-work-day. I put in a good 2 hours of walking. The trip to work was fine, a storm was heading towards town. It brought clouds, thunder and a little bit of cooler air, but no rain. The trip home was wet....not because of rain but because the heat and humidity made it quite sweaty.

Work commute. I pushed a little bit on the trip home and worked up quite a sweat. I was working late, attending the Solid Waste Task Force meeting.

Work commute. Hot and windy for the trip home.

Row, row.

I think my calf is ok.

Pretty much a day of rest. I was at the Big 12 Internal Audit Conference all day. Then when I got home, I mowed and rested.

Biking from home to/from the trail head at Clinton. It felt good to get out before it got too warm.

A short jog on the trails at Clinton. I expected my calf to feel worse, but it felt better than it did yesterday. That's very positive.

I'd have run a little bit more except I met a woman with two young kids who had wandered a bit and were a bit unsure about where they were. I walked them back to the trail head and pointed them in the right direction. The kids, who looked to me to be about 4 each had little Camelbaks.
