| Started running and a sharp pain developed on the outside of my left knee within 3'. Very painful, and didn't diminish quickly enough for me to run through it, so I stopped. Hurt a little while I was walking back to my office afterwards. |
| Note | |
| (injured) |
| Yeah, so I'm 99% sure this pain is my IT band. Hurts like a bitch walking around. Climbing stairs is excruciatingly painful. Cycling seems to be more or less okay. |

| HR is a guess. Legs were sore yesterday and a bit today, feel great after the workout. Quads were sore for the first 20' or so, then loosened up. |

| In Weston by Regis College with Ross and the Saegers. Felt really good, given that it's longer than I've run in a really long time.
These shoes are awesome, except that the insoles slide up the heel. Maybe I'll just glue them in. |

| Was going to do another long bike workout, but I forgot that the gym is really busy at 6pm. Was signed up for 30 minutes, but the guy next to me had unbelievably bad BO. Not a normal type of BO, either; it really smelled like he was rotting. No less than 3 women cycled through the treadmill on the other side of him, and I don't think they were all warming up for something else. Anyhow, quit 5 minutes early and moved to the stationary bike. |

| max:158 weight:167lbs shoes: Gel Cumulus 2006 |
| Whatever runs up my inner thigh and connects my groin to my knee was tight for the first 20' or so, in both legs. Same part that has been giving me problems (or at least some of the problems). Then it loosened up, and I was able to stretch quite satisfactorily afterwards. Left quad was sore walking around afterwards.
Weight is pre-dinner, ~9pm. Kind of heavy, I think. |

| Note | |
| |
| Right quad thingie feels mostly okay, but fragile. I guess we'll see how it goes, but I'm taking myself off the injury list. Doing nothing over the break seemed to help out a lot. I cut out pretty much all walking and standing. Also engaged in some breathing lessons I learned in tai chi a few years ago, and I think that helped open up the capillaries, get some increased blood flow, and loosen things up. |
Monday Jan 1 |
| Note | |
| |
| I think I'll start training again, so here are some goals for 2007:
1. Stay healthy.
2. Sub-5:15 1600m. (PR in high school was something like 5:30)
3. Sub-18:00 5000m.
4. Within 10% of leader on a middle-distance A-day.
5. Within 20% of leader on a long-distance A-day.
6. Win a CSU Park-O.
I think 2-6 should be possible as long as 1 happens. |
