Training Log Archive: abullitt

Planned to cut grass as low-key training to recover from yesterday's intensive workout, but all mowers need work. Back and butt too tired after collecting dog messes to work on mowers. Read attackpoint training ideas instead!

Impending darkness controlled today's training:
5 minutes stretching, 5 minutes walk, 16:07 run from woods entrance to bridge (longest run interval yet!), power-walked next 15 1/2 minutes, 8 minute cool-down walk. Hoping this plus next two days off training will properly prepare me for Sunday at Pakim Pond. Starting HR-93, ending 111.

00-0502 stretches; 0502-1000 walk; 1000-2430 run; 2430-31 walk; 31-35 run (included hills); 35-39 walk (dusk); 39-4130 cooldown jog, trying to keep heartrate under 164, stopped when it crossed; rest was walkout. Didn't want to push too much before tomorrow's volleyball.
Surprisingly GOOD training in woods. Thought some of the bumps and bruises from yesterday's fall might bother me, but they didn't seem to. I was a little stressed from the day and tired; but pleased with my effort.

Dark when got home, so couldnt do running. Instead wore headlamp and trimmed back bothersome branches (mostly thorny!) on my running trail. Minimized stop time and walked aggresively in between. On way out of woods, tripped on something and fell in gravel-and-dirt area - bruises to both knees, mostly right, and cut palms. (Running pants clearly saved legs from more severe damage.) Took Ibuprofen and iced knee.
