Training Log Archive: Sandy

Intended to do the short hill loop just to loosen up a bit. Was feeling ok - slow but okay - but was not paying attention and rolled an ankle a little after just a few minutes. It was enough that I stopped and decided to turn around and not tempt fate, but it felt better pretty fast so I ran around up in the meadows for a little while before heading home. Not much of a workout, but still worth getting out I think.

Lots of twisting things. My knees were pretty stiff and jumping into poses (as opposed to stepping) was not happening.

50K at Bull Run Run. Ack!

Rogaine training with Valerie at Hemlock and Fountainhead instead of the 50K that was being held there at the same time. Started at 6:30 in the dark, did some permanent course controls on Hemlock, some trail and off-trail on the way down towards Fountainhead, trail on the way back to Hemlock and then the permanent course markers in reverse order. Although sorely tempted, we did not wimp out and skip any so did all the down and ups in the last bit. Excellent day. Next practice, in January probably, needs to be a couple hours longer.

Not sticking to my "just eat a little less" plan very well. The end of semester crap is starting to stress me out a tad.

TNT - Sandy and I did the core DVD while Jim and Bob ran. Karl made a really cool peanut soup. Delicious!
