Training Log Archive: Sandy

Core DVD.

Meant to hike but by the time I finished grading papers, the thunderstorms were threatening so I decided to swap with tomorrow's plans.

Stairs; two 5 minute stretches of doubles.

I am planning to go to 4 A events plus NAOC this fall. I decided to see if I had any jogging left in my knees. I also decided that the new icebugs were causing some problems so I wore one of the icebugs I usually wear to orienteer. Success all around - my knees don't hurt any more than usual and I was able to jog the whole meadow loop. It wasn't pretty - I was really slogging along like an old lady (oh wait, I am an old lady, so no problem there) - and I got it done. The plan was to go as slow as necessary to not stop jogging and that's what I did. Quads are sore, but not knees. Yay.

Now I need to find a way to get more pairs of the old style icebugs. Every place that I've found in the US that sells icebugs on line does not have my size or does not have the style I want.

Hike in the Wissahickon.

Rogaine results posted: http://peakassurance.net/Results.html

66th overall, 8th in our category (mixed teams, age 55+) and ahead of all the mixed 65+ teams. Not too shabby.

They estimate we went 72.5 km.

Must have been lots of man hours behind the scenes getting it all sorted. Thanks to everyone that helped.

Moral victory: I did not succumb to couch potato - ness when I got home despite being really, really sleepy. Not a super workout but at least I did something.

TNT - decided to start trying to jog again. Hiked down to the drive then did 10 repeats of jog a minute, walk a minute, then hiked back up. Did them with Sandy and it was nice to have company. They were mostly slow enough that we could keep chatting for most of it.

Knee really hurt right after we got back but seems to be okay now.

Core DVD. New school year, new training plan.
