2 PM
Running 41:47 4.95 km (8:26 / km) +133m 7:26 / km
ahr:152 max:171 shoes: X Talon 212s
Much nicer day today so it was worth the drive to West Rock. The Blue trail was as devious as ever, and I was thwarted again by people who can't control their dogs. I will be glad when Thanksgiving is done and they are all back inside again! Feeling muscle tired but not bad tired. Lovely run. Saw a funny turkey afterwards who couldn't make up it's mind about whether it wanted to cross the road or not.
3 PM
Yoga 18:20
ahr:86 max:148
Some more climbers followed by some yoga time. Tight hamstrings!

Running 36:19 6.11 km (5:56 / km) +101m 5:29 / km
ahr:140 max:165 shoes: Shiny red Sauconys
Uninspiring day and tired legs fancied a run on soft stuff, but didn't fancy driving anywhere. So I looped around all the soft places close to the house. It was surprisingly okay, and I surprised a herd of deer by the baseball field again.
Yoga 14:26 +1m
ahr:93 max:126
Some much better climbers, and then some yoga stretchy time. New mattress is helping my lower back and hamstring flexibility a lot, as is actually doing some stretches. Another benefit of Freeletics.

Rubbish walking 1:30:00 [0]
This walk was not rubbish. We stopped off at Penwood, the next State Park on the way home. The woods were gloriously, it was insanely warm, and we just had time before dark to visit George and Lyn's favourite viewpoint. Great to get home and still have the entire weekend remaining!

Black Friday done! New running trainers to replace my current holey sauconys, new walking boots for Rob, both at 30% off. Then a compact down vest from Uniqlo, twenty bucks off, free shipping. All finished, and never had to step out of the kitchen. That's the way to do it!
10 AM
Running 36:24 5.09 km (7:09 / km) +97m 6:32 / km
ahr:154 max:177 shoes: X Talon 212s
Should probably have rested this morning, but Anne and Rog live right on the edge of a lovely State Park and I couldn't resist. I was tired but still moving okay, and I just wish that people took some notice of the signs to keep their dogs on leads. It was a lovely morning, stupidly warm for the end of November - about 17 degrees sensible. I was way too hot.
Cross Fit 27:17
ahr:121 max:153
2 x Athena the endurance version. Got a better hang of crunches today, the basic coaching advice of "keep your core tight" worked remarkably well. Then some stretchy time in the living room, before heading home.

Tempo run 36:24 6.49 km (5:36 / km) +67m 5:20 / km
ahr:160 max:183 shoes: Shiny red Sauconys
Thursday morning Lauren Fleshman. This was another friend workout, but I don't have friends (for running with), so I had to use cars instead. 8 x 1 minute with random starts, at least 2 mins rest between sets. I just set off whenever a car drove past. This was hard, I was tired.
Cross Fit 8:32 0.0 km
ahr:108 max:134
Some climbers and some stretchy time.

ahr:162 max:180 shoes: Shiny red Sauconys
Into work - legs feeling tired ish so ran the nice way through the woods int he sunshine, and enjoyed it. Heavy-ish bag.
Cross Fit 20:00 2.09 km (9:33 / km)
ahr:175 max:188 shoes: Shiny red Sauconys
Ugh, Iris! Luckily my coach gave me the endurance version, so I got to do mountain climbers instead of climbers. I can't do that many climbers. This was okay, a bit boring. The kilometer runs were slow - partly due to bag and partly due to tired legs.

Intervals 36:22 6.55 km (5:33 / km) +32m 5:25 / km
ahr:157 max:180 shoes: Shiny red Sauconys
15 x 15s. Still felt normal by the end of workday and went for it. These were not hard, so I mustn't have been winding up enough. Probably good though given the last week! Running strong but easy for the final ten minutes. Good.
Cross Fit 25:29
ahr:108 max:150
Freeletics. Wanted to restart my coach week so did Nemesis again, but the endurance version to ease into it with mountain climbers rather than climbers. Crunches are definitely harder than sit ups, and don't feel as good for my back, so I switched to sit ups. Stretch afterwards felt really good.

Recovery 36:51 4.83 km (7:38 / km) +28m 7:25 / km
ahr:135 max:152 shoes: Shiny red Sauconys
Very slow shuffle into work. Shuffling made me feel nauseous for the first time in a few days, but never threateningly so. Nice to be out in the sunshine but didn't push my luck and do Freeletics too.
