Tuesday Feb 14 |
| Stretching (pt+) 20:00 [1] | |
| |
| saw the doctor about my MRI yesterday, as expected, he didn't see anything worth worrying about (he was looking for fused ankle/midfoot bones). so now we're doing ankle stretches in pt also. |
| Running 12:15 [3] 1.5 mi (8:09 / mi) | |
| (injured) shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus VII |
| to/from pt. didn't stretch yesteraday, and my right arch was hurting this morning, and a little bit on the run, so I decided to cut it short (and get back to work). my hamstrings felt tighter than usual, that's more evidence for the connection there. we're not focusing on them at all in pt, so I'll have to continue to work on that myself.

| Running (road/snow) 33:00 [2] 3.9 mi (8:26 / mi) +150m 4:42 / km | |

| so I'm slipping my shoes on, and I feel an acorn in the heel of the left one. except when I take it off, it's actually a crusty nugget of dog crap. nice. that was leftovers from friday night when the dogs had a party downstairs.
dumped that out and put the shoe right back on, fortunately no mess otherwise. a nice evening run after the snow was mostly done. an inch or two left on the roads made a nice cushion. we got about 15-18". |

| spiked:11/13c slept:6.5 shoes: VJ Integrator, no spikes |
| hanging out streamers for the training exercise. it was nice to be out in the woods for the first time in a while. my feet felt okay even though the ground (mostly bare) was pretty frozen.
will try to do more frequent terrain running between now and the pig. if I want to have any speed this season, I will probably have to forget about building back up to the volume I had last year and start doing some faster stuff instead, assuming my feet cooperate. that might be good enough for sprints and short races anyway. |

| slept:6.5 shoes: Asics Gel Nimbus VII |
| 6 mins to PT, and 35 mins after. experimenting with a midfoot/heel strike running form, which might be good to give my arches a temporary rest/stretch at the expense of shins and knees. (I'm usually a forefoot striker, since 2000 anyway) tried to keep it light anyways.
I'm wearing my 906s around as walking shoes now. they feel pretty good without arch supports. |
