Sunday Sep 23 | ||
| running 3:32:00 [3] 20.5 mi (10:21 / mi) | |
| slept:6.5 shoes: Asics Gel-Cumulus | ||
| The test run - not much sleep thanks to the cat. Hard Dog Days workout Thur probably put more stress on calves and ankles. Woke up sluggish.
Goal was to try to finish without as much pain as last weekend. Tried drinking more water every 30 min and took PowerBar gel. Leg muscles kept sending messages (back of knee tightening like it did before it snapped at Bluffwoods last fall; knees like the 1st 5 miles in the mid-70s marathon, ankles (front) ached on right foot). Took walking breaks. Route: from home to Alvamar, then SW Jr Hi, YSI, Clinton SP to campground #1 restroom, then back via bikeway to 6th St and Free St HS. Biggest pain: about mile 19, left foot - front of ankle really tightening up. So, the pain at the end was sharp in the ankle, but at least I could (shuffle) run better than last week. Lots of ice (watching rerun of KU-FIU football game), then nap in afternoon. Will decide tomorrow, but if body falls apart this much doing only 20 miles - then not ready for 26.2. 6 more miles, plus being well enough to drive home? So, not looking good to doing an Oct 20-21 marathon. But, still 4 weeks away. . . | ||

| biking (road bike) 1:05:00 [2] 14.0 mi (4:38 / mi) | |
| shoes: Shimano (bike) | ||
| 11 am - checked out levee going north. Stopped at entrance to old city dump. Beyond that point, the levee surface gets rockier.
Didn't run today, plantar fasciitis ailments again. Will try long run tomorrow. Read Higdon's marathon training book. If training on own without a coach, have to be more cautious. On verra. 2.3 mi from house to north side of Mass St bridge. 7 mi to old city dump | ||

Thursday Sep 20 | ||
| running 44:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Vasque Blur | ||
| PM - too tired to workout in the morning and slept later. Run to stadium & back. (5 pullups at Pinckney). Noticed the heat & humidity I avoid by doing morning workouts. | ||
| strength/stretching 30:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Vasque Blur | ||
| stretching (Jones variety) & calisthenics, including 40 situps, 2 sets of crunches, and twisting situps after high stepping length of football field. Then 100 yds high stepping backwards. Tried to avoid doing reverse crunches. One of the tougher Dog Days workouts this fall. | ||
Tuesday Sep 18 | ||
| running 1:00:00 [2] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel-Cumulus | ||
| AM - to stadium (felt weak and almost turned around), did stretching & Dog Days calisthenics, 1 lap, then a 13 min time trial on the track (took it easy), then home. Only 5 pullups - but honest, all the way down & up variety. | ||
| strength/stretching 27:00 [1] | |
| shoes: Asics Gel-Cumulus | ||
