biking 38:01 10.49 mi (3:37 / mi) +620ft 3:26 / mi
ahr:131 max:154
Another late afternoon workout made possible by the fine weather. First time out on the bike. Didn't feel so bad, but then not going very far, and pretty flat. Still, better than expected.

road running 25:15 2.95 mi (8:34 / mi) +217ft 8:00 / mi
ahr:140 max:152 weight:141lbs shoes: pegasus #2
A short run in Litchfield from my mom's house to the house I lived in until age 12, and back. Seemed like hard work.

treadmill 33:45 [3] 3.0 mi (11:15 / mi) +525ft 9:39 / mi
weight:142lbs shoes: pegasus #2
Raining and cool out so I opted for the treadmill, and a short stint at that. A mile flat (9:45), then two miles at 5% and 12:00 minute pace.
Not such a stupid workout -- the feeling during the last two miles seemed not so different from the feeling running in the woods last weekend at 0% and 12 mph. I guess if I want to be able to run up modest inclines in the woods, I need to do the treadmill work at 10%.
And then there is Mt. Washington 3 months from. Seems impossible, but at least I will be a lot lighter.

part trail, part road 43:42 4.83 mi (9:03 / mi) +623ft 8:04 / mi
ahr:142 max:164 rhr:55 weight:142lbs shoes: pegasus #2
Some side streets, some trails on the ridge. Toe continues to behave itself. It doesn't look so good (the last joint is still reddish and swollen), but it's not hurting. And no vitamin I the last couple of days.
Surprised myself by actually getting the petition put together last night. Would be nice if it got a bunch of signatures. My initial thought is that 100 would be terrific, but not sure if it is possible. In any case, I'll send it to the Board at some point before its meeting in a month, and then see what happens.

trail running 38:42 3.9 mi (9:55 / mi) +699ft 8:29 / mi
ahr:144 max:163 weight:142.5lbs shoes: pegasus #2
Toe continues to be not so bad, so no reason not to run two days in a row. Quite surprising, I had thought after last weekend I wouldn't be running for at least a couple of weeks.
Usual trails on the ridge. Sunny and warm, sweating away, just being careful to look where I was stepping.
Was thinking about two things that need doing. The first is just a reaction to my miserable conditioning as displayed over the weekend, that some serious work needs to be done. There is time, goal is to be fit first week of July (WMOC in Germany), but a lot of work needs to be done. As evidence of the need, on Sunday Jeff beat me on 12 of 15 splits, most by quite a bit.
The second is that I think I should follow up with regards to the 305 ban, and not be satisfied with just bitching. Meaning, I think, start up a petition drive to bring the matter before the proper authorities with some evidence of broader support. First step is to figure out just how to word it. Got to work on that to try to get it right.

trail running 30:09 [3] 3.12 mi (9:40 / mi)
weight:143lbs shoes: pegasus #2
Time for some changes....
1. Banged the bad toe pretty good a couple of times on Saturday but it wasn't any worse on Sunday (with the help of some vitamin I). Banged it again a couple of times Sunday, and it actually felt better yesterday, though still swollen. Likewise today.
So time to get off my butt and start running again, as long as it doesn't make things worse.
2. Time to start doing something about the G. I was getting beaten pretty badly over the weekend on speed, and carrying an extra 5 to 10 pounds is part of the problem. I've put off addressing this but can't put it off any longer.
Though it doesn't help that it's party time again tonight, celebrating 3 gold medals last wekend, with the added honor of a visit from Ed (the rollerski mogul). I guess the diet will start tomorrow....
==========
So, out for a run today. Toe was tolerable. I could tell I was out of practice because both the 305 and the ipod had been left at home.
White trail to Mountain Road and back. 15:57 out, 14:12 back. Saw the stump I kicked three weeks ago. It looked like it sustained a little damage too. :-)
