Saturday Apr 5

Note
slept:8.0 weight:124lbs

I ended up staying at work until 2:00 am Friday night / Saturday morning. (I didn't arrive at work until 11:15 am on Friday, but that's still a long day...) I stayed because I was on a roll, making good progress on some things, programming in total silence (which is impossible during the normal work day). Went home and had buttered popcorn, a beer, and a chunk of snickerdoodle cookie dough for dinner. Nice.

Run / Hike (Spring Training) 47:39 [3] 4.0 mi (11:54 / mi)
slept:6.0 weight:124lbs shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR

I headed out to Greenland for Ratlaf's training course.

It was ridiculously windy when I got there, and I just wasn't feeling it. So, I did an easy out-and-back jog on the trail instead. (Today's Spring Training assignment was an easy 40-minute run, anyway.) I walked a couple times so I could to talk to people on the course (otherwise it would not have taken me 48 minutes to do 4 miles!).

Friday Apr 4

Note

I'm trying to make some very minor map updates with OCAD. Holy crap, it's hard. I guess knowing how to use OCAD would help.

    Wednesday Apr 2

    Soccer intervals (indoor) 25:00 [3]
    slept:8.0 weight:124lbs

    A very satisfying win against a very annoying team. 9-6.

    Tuesday Apr 1

    Run / Hike intervals (Spring Training) 59:56 [3] 5.23 mi (11:27 / mi)
    slept:5.0 weight:124lbs shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR

    Brrr -- today was the coldest of the Spring Training sessions so far. I'm sure it was a bit warmer where we were, but the news reported a wind-chill of 3° at the airport...

  • One mile to warm up.

  • Two miles with a goal of something between 5k and 10k race pace: 17:29 (8:45 per mile)
  • Walk for a few minutes to recover
  • One mile with the goal of being at least as fast as the two-mile loop: 7:54 (my mile on the first day of class a few weeks ago was 8:23)

  • One mile to cool down.

  • Strength / Stretching warm up/down 5:00 [1]

    Stretching afterwards.

    Monday Mar 31

    Soccer intervals (indoor) 40:00 [4]
    slept:8.0

    Indoor soccer. We tied 5-5. We probably could've won if we had a full team show up.

    Sunday Mar 30

    Run / Hike tempo (Spring Training) 57:00 [3] 5.11 mi (11:09 / mi) +130m 6:25 / km
    slept:10.0 shoes: Saucony Grid Omni TR

    Today's assignment was a 55-minute run at a comfortable pace.

    I went to Hidden Mesa with Troy and Coco. We started at the east trailhead, which was kind of a mistake: it's ALL uphill from there to the top of the mesa, ranging from mild to steep. (I always have to remind myself after the fact that a mesa is, by definition, only flat on the top, not the sides...).

    The west trailhead starts at the top of the mesa, with a good loop around the top (no significant up or down). I'll do that next time.

    Good news -- my achilles didn't hurt at all during or after the run.

    Here's the profile for the full seven-mile loop (we only did an out-and-back totalling five miles):

    Elevation profile.
