trail 39:46 [3] 2.74 mi (14:31 / mi) +86m 13:13 / mi
ahr:142 max:158 weight:123.8lbs

Easy run of my normal loop with Sandy. Well, easy only in the sense that we kept the pace really, really slow so that we could "run" the whole loop. But we did - never stopped to walk. First time in years that I've done that.

The mantra is slow down to get faster.

11 AM

map hiking 3:13:51 [3] 4.96 mi (39:05 / mi) +109m 36:35 / mi

Another great day in the HR woods. Parked in a different spot and didn't have to climb the hill!

Kept managing to unintentionally start and stop my watch (there are a couple straight line segments as a result) as I wore it on my wrist instead of tied to my camelbak. I think every time I tripped and put my hand down the button would go into my wrist hard enough to stop the time and it would take a while to notice before I would turn it back on. Total time was just over 4 hours.

running 1:26:15 [3] 5.67 mi (15:13 / mi) +199m 13:43 / mi
ahr:138 max:159 weight:123.4lbs

Hiked down to the drive with Sandy, ran 4 miles chatting all the way (we never used to run slow enough to talk), hiked back up. Hip flexors and bottom of my feet a little sore by the end but felt good. The hike up the hill was not the killer I expected it to be. Felt really funny for about 10 seconds when we stopped jogging and walked the last 50m before heading up the hill.

And more black bean soup afterwards. Yum.

A deliberate day off.

pu: 20 & 25
A nice surprise to feel so strong for the second set; was only planning on 22 but they felt easy so did a few more. Perhaps it was not doing anything else during the day.

So I am pretty sure my weight reflects what has happened about a day late. I would guess the spike yesterday was because I ate more than usual on Saturday including very salty popcorn. The drop today has got to be from the 4 hours of hiking in the snow on Sunday.

6 AM

hiking 37:25 [3] 2.21 mi (16:56 / mi) +95m 14:56 / mi

Checking out the hill for tonight's repeats. Trails on the slopes were fine but the drive was a huge sheet of ice for most of the 1/2 mile I was on. It may all melt today but it was treacherous this morning.

6 PM

trail 51:47 [3] 3.05 mi (16:59 / mi) +110m 15:16 / mi
ahr:135 max:166

TNT - Sandy's McMillan plan called for hill repeats, so she, Bob and I did that (while Karl did his own McMillan workout). We picked a new hill for the repeats - much gentler slope and also a smoother trail, still rocky but not so rutted out. I felt strong on these - I wasn't going fast but I felt like I could have gone a lot further up the hill. It's a really long hill - perhaps a goal for the summer is to be able to run all the way up.

Scrumptious black bean soup by Karl for dinner.
