orienteering 1:10:00 [2] **
shoes: Integrator
AM - Clinton SP trails. Is this really the first time to this park to run since the New Year's Day race? Emphasis on road workouts for a marathon, dislike for chiggers and all the injuries made it easy to stay away. Well, day 2 of recovery I probably overdid the distance and the effort as it was at tempo the last 2 miles. The hills we climb on this trail would please Red Dog with his penchant to include some climbing (stairs, hills, or whatever) in about every other workout. Drank a lot of water and tried a Clif Shot gel at 35 min.
Took a map, but the concentration was terrible. Got more out of the mapreading on the return leg.
Turn around was the stream before crossing over the the south side peninsula.
New injury to come? I feel a pinch in the bottom of my right foot every now and then. Another form of plantar fasciitis?

biking (road bike) 1:37:00 [2]
shoes: Shimano (bike)
AM - rode to Clinton SP - including all the campground loops (i.e, staying on top avoiding one extra climb). Got dizzy after putting effort going up hills leaving the park - not vertigo dizzy - lightheaded and had to stop. I hope it's because of lack of sleep.
Found out that Keith Dowell, another M50 road runner, also had BPPV, so the old geezers are just getting loose rocks in their heads. . .

AM - after dropping off digital clock and finish line stuff at home, drove truck over to Damon's apt and jogged home. Sunny and hot - being off a few weeks you sure notice the lack of acclimating to the heat.

PM - RDDD #3 for the summer. Went to the stadium to do some stretching. It was photo day for Dog Days, so only did some running (800m on track, up the hill to Spencer Library and down, then 800m). Took it easy going downhill to avoid stressing the hamstring. In the morning got the OK from the physical therapist that the BPPV is over and can resume working out again.

Homer (our dog) is missing (gate left open). Dee & I combed the neighborhood (walk, bike, car) - so another 30 min exercise. . . Will get classified ad out tomorrow.

(sick) shoes: Asics GT2100
AM - is a mild case of vertigo a sickness? Anyway, can't just sit around the house, so had to try a run to Monterey & Peterson. The run was OK, no leg problems or dizziness just bloated from a toast and ceral breakfast. At 33 min, the hamstring felt like it could go, so I let up and walked for awhile then jogging easy the last 200m to home. First PT Friday; what will they do for me?

running/walking warm up/down 15:00 [1]
(rest day) shoes: Salomon
PM - 96F - The Brandt-Daroff exercises did not produce any nausea this morning, so I decided to go for any easy walk/jog around the neighborhood. Legs, hamstring OK; no dizziness. Just tired, blah tired - sitting too long watching the Tour this morning. . . and most of yesterday. Not being able to exercise is numbing. . .
