Run / Hike 45:00 [3] 2.75 mi (16:22 / mi) +177ft 15:25 / mi
slept:6.0 weight:114.3lbs shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2018)


PT visit this afternoon (hip pain getting worse). She assigned me some exercises & stretches and then did some dry-needling with current. The dry-needling was not awful but not pleasant.

Runner's Roost group run -- I walked a short loop with Betty (awful Hwy 36 bike path up to Davidson Mesa, and then back through the business park), then listened to a talk by the author of Run The World -- also a Rice grad.

Run / Hike intervals (Summer Training 2018) 1:25:44 [3] 6.68 mi (12:50 / mi) +176ft 12:31 / mi
slept:8.0 weight:114.3lbs shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2018)


- Ran one mile from home to trailhead to warm up.

- Mile repeats x 4 "at a repeatable 5k pace" -- 7:53, 7:46, 7:59, 7:59. My plan actually said to do 4 or 5...but I talked myself out of the fifth one (everyone else was already finished, my hip was really hurting (PT appointment tomorrow), I'm planning to run again tomorrow and Thursday, etc...). I was significantly slower the last time we did this workout on 7/24 -- 8:23, 8:26, 8:27, 8:39, 8:32 -- but I remember it being much hotter that day.

- Ran one mile home to cool down, and then walked a bit.

slept:7.0 weight:114.6lbs shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2018)


The rec center is closed for two weeks for renovations -- no yoga class tonight.

Neighborhood walk. The air is so smoky & hazy that the mountains aren't visible -- but at least it doesn't have the campfire smell.

Cycling 1:10:25 [3] 13.02 mi (5:24 / mi) +419ft 5:15 / mi
shoes: Safire


It was blustery and threatening to rain by the time I finally got out of the house, so I decided to do laps nearby rather than going out to the Dirty Bismarck loop. Ultimately, it just sprinkled a bit.

Rec center loop x 2, Harper Lake loop x 2.5, Davidson Mesa loop x 2, and then home via Coyote Run (not all in that exact order).

LoCO FIT breakfast run -- out and back from the south end of the Teller Farm trail.

Ran six at an easy pace (10:20, 9:55, 9:42, 10:03, 9:53, 10:09), walked the rest.

Hip pain started out as a burning sensation (on both sides) and gradually eased up a bit.

Administration 1:00:00 [0]


Simon asked about registration totals for his water-quantity calculations. Registration hasn't actually closed yet (we're in the late-fee period until 8/24), so I compared 2016 & 2018 entries to help him forecast.

I'm surprised to see that the totals are so similar, since we haven't done as much advertising as in previous years (ONA ads, "save the date" postcards, etc.).

Registration Totals 2016 vs 2018 (2018-08-18 BBM)

slept:6.0 weight:115.1lbs shoes: Brooks Adrenaline (2018)


Hip pain still bothering me -- more of a burning sensation today, with twinges shooting up into my back. It eased up during the workout, which makes me think it's a ligament / tendon thing that gets warmed up & stretched out. It's worst after sitting for a while. ??? Will make an appointment with the PT in my group...

* Ran one mile to warm up.

* 1-2-3-4-5-4-3-2-1 minutes at mile pace for 1-2-3 minutes and 5K pace for 4 & 5 minutes, with two minutes of walking & slow jog recovery in between. I had some good pacers to chase tonight --

2 - 7:51
3 - 8:05
4 - 7:47
5 - 8:20
4 - 7:58
3 - 7:36
2 - 7:23

* Ran a lap around the park to cool down.
