| Running (track) warm up/down 14:07 | |
| shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #4 | ||
| At the Ichabod Crane track. The supposedly 400-m track measures more than a quarter mile on my FR. I don't know whether my FR is incorrect, or the track is just long! I stayed right near the line on the inside of lane 1, the shortest distance you could go, and the FR alarmed 1/4 mile several meters before the "finish" line... who knows? (It'd take a measuring wheel on the track to find out for sure, but I don't own one...)
Anyway, warm up included two laps around the track (~1/2 mi) jogging, and cool down was the same distance, walking. Warm, about 78 when I started, but drier than it has been (nice!). Too bad I delayed until mid-day; it would have been perfect at 9 or 10 am. :-) | ||

| Running (track) 19:14 | |
| shoes: Saucony Shadow 6000 8.5 #4 | ||
| Intervals, 5 x 400, with 1/2 lap jog or walk between (I jogged the first rest lap, but walked the rest. It was hot and my legs felt tired). Aimed for ~2:15, what I did last time out.
2:12 (.26), 2:13 (.26), 2:13 (.27), 2:10 (.27), 2:13 (.26) rests were 1:38, 1:53, 2:29, 2:13, ranging from .13-.15 on the FR (some back and forth to my water bottle included) I'm pleased with the speed/consistency, and with being able to do 5 even though my hamstrings were a bit tight from yesterday's weeding. No way I could get myself to do a 6th one, though. Now, if I could only lose some weight... | ||
Thursday Jul 24 | ||
| Note | |
| In between rain storms, I pulled weeds, so I could count this as stretching and strength, but I won't. I figured the rain we had gotten would have softened up the ground to let the weeds go (and it did, to a point). I don't do much weeding these days because it involves the classic "lady bending over in the garden" position because my knees won't let me kneel on them for more than 30 seconds (if that) ... and stretches the backs of my legs (hamstrings and calves), but that's probably a good thing. We'll see if I'm sore tomorrow.

Wednesday Jul 23 | ||
| Exerc. Class 55:00 [1] | |
| Ex. class in Chatham (no stepping). I could feel my legs from yesterday, but nothing hurt (at long as I avoided the step).
| ||
Tuesday Jul 22 | ||
| Running (trail) warm up/down 27:23 [3]2.3 mi (11:54 / mi) | |
| shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2 | ||
| Ran at Schodack Island State Park, 14 miles west of here along the Hudson River (total cost, between $10-11 with a $6 entry fee and about 1.4 gallons of gas).
Warm up, 0.65 mi, 7:33 ; cool down 1.65 mi, 19:50. 80 and humid when I started; I figured I'd get a little bit of breeze off the river, plus the shaded trails. | ||
| Running (trail) tempo 15:32 [4]1.51 mi (10:17 / mi) | |
| shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 2 | ||
| Tempo run. I chose Schodack Island because it has shaded trails (good on a hot, humid day) and is basically flat.
Didn't get out soon enough to avoid the showers; it started raining about a mile into the tempo portion of my run and didn't stop until I was back at the parking lot. Felt good, except for not being able to see as well because I didn't have a hat/visor and my glasses were streaked. Not a problem, though. A little slower than my targeted 10:13/mi, but not much. | ||
Monday Jul 21 | ||
| Exerc. Class 55:00 [1] | |
| Ex. class in Chatham; good to be back after session break. Jen had trouble getting us to speak up and respond to her -- not unusual on a Monday morning. Even (maybe especially) when she talks about celebrities and In Touch magazine...

Sunday Jul 20 | ||
| Note | |
| Soapstone Assault - Think I'll just run around the base while Glen races.
| ||
| Running (trail) long 1:05:00 [3]** 4.15 mi (15:39 / mi) | |
| shoes: Trail NB 706 9D # 1 | ||
| Ran trails in Shenipsit State Forest in CT while Glen ran the Soapstone Assault. I had decided my knees wouldn't take the climbing and downhill pounding very well. Started off across the street from where all the action was, ran out and back about a mile or so, then crossed back and started in the opposite direction that the runners were taking (they were going counter-clockwise around the mountain) so I'd be able to get out of their way if need be. Wasn't sure of a turn in one case and ended up exploring a couple other trails that went off the intersection. I had a forest trail map and a copy of a topo of the trails/course from PG's log from a past race. A good workout despite leaving out all the climbs up to the top! :-)
After I was done running I drove the car from the start/parking area up to the parking lot near the top so Glen didn't have to walk down the road back to the car. | ||
