Thought I might jog a little today, but my Achilles is still feeling a bit irritated, so decided to save it for tomorrow's orienteering at Vasona.

The usual weekly accumulation of morning stretching.

NOTE: I do pushups as part of my morning routine; been in the high 60's lately, and even did 70 once - surely the most I've done since I was a teenager and did 80 one day and 100 the next.

C • Push-ups 2

Started with a 10 min walk. Then theraband and hips, interleaved so that I was constantly exercising. Then weights.

A much needed off day (except for morning stretching and calisthenics). Didn't sleep very well, though.

Drove up to El Cerrito to spend midday with George. Unfortunately, the highway was jammed on the way back, so I wound up spending more hours on the road (4) than with George (3.5).

Lake Ranch Reservoir. The usual 4.0 miles in 40:29 plus 3:10 of loop-backs to not get too far ahead of Louise. Quite chilly out. My legs were tired and my Achilles was very sore (limped badly for the first mile and never really felt good). Kept my stride short and made it an easy run. Gonna have to take it easy for the next three days to see if I can get some life back in my legs for orienteering at Vasona on Sunday.

Weights, theraband, hip exercises. Good session. Not much time, so kept the rests short.

Front-of-house, 8 loops: 616, 543, 528, 521, 518, 510, 505, 450. Last 4 miles in (a fast) 36:45; last 3 laps (1.71 miles) in 15:05, which is quite decent.

Louise and I were going to run before lunch, but it was pouring rain then, so we decided to aim for late afternoon. Good guess (with the help of the radar map): the rain cleared before we got out there, though it was quite chilly (below 40F). I got a half hour nap right before we ran, which really helped my energy level, so despite tired legs and sore achilles, I had a very good run (though quite sore later, especially my knees).

Long Ridge, walking with Louise. Parked near "Stonehenge"; did the loop counterclockwise. The sun was just breaking through the fog at our place, but it was completely foggy at Long Ridge. Walked at a decent clip, but didn't push it. Both my knees felt sore.
