| Wells SP - trying to get knees going before A meet. Seemed to work along with 4 Vit M (2 early/2 just before) no drug testing is there? So knees didn't feel bad and got going pretty well. |

| Wells SP / NEOC A meet day 1 - 40, grey, raw. Still no leaf out but lots of saplings and stuff getting ready, much like Brooksvale.
Generally good run, tho seemed slow. Bobbled 6, down the trail too far misreading bend and then 7, going along the wall rather than a bearing.
At last check was 4th Gr X, 2nd M60 - both 5'.
Knees held up ok, just started to tweak after standing around and then on drive home. More V seems to have fixed that. |

| Trail run 45:00 [1]3.0 mi (14:59 / mi) | |
| weight:154lbs (injured) shoes: Asics DS Trnr |
| Short loop - 50, grey. Another day with some strides - today reversed the sequence 30 paces hard/ 15 easy, 5x with 5' easy then another set. On the very last pace of the very last set, seem to have overextended the L knee which created a true patellar tendonitis situation. Very sore under knee cap for a few paces then ok until had to climb. Very sore climbing and had to walk. Ok on flat. To fully make the day, the R knee started acting up on the road run home. UGH! Both had seemed to be getting better, or at least manageable. Hope this isn't major. Will have to see how it is tomorrow. |

Monday Apr 3 |
| Trail run long (Tempo Fartlek) 1:29:00 [3] | |
| weight:153lbs shoes: Asics DS Trnr |
| Waterfall loop - 50, lt drizzle. Started sluggish, sleepy after the mom run. Stopped and chatted with ranger at Barn Door tr hd. He mentioned how they had carried someones' campsite out from a bit off the trail including: a sofa, 2 drawer file cabinet, 6' wooden table with folding wings, rock fire ring (no rocks in the area so carried from a way off), plastic to cover the sofa. This was all about half mile from a road!
Started off again, now bit wet and chilled, taking a while to get warmed and going. Way out was sluggish, but on way back kicked in several tempo fartleks on some real nice long woodsy stretches - real pleasant, one of our best runs.
So finished out at quite good pace. |
Sunday Apr 2 |
| Strength 30:00 [1] | |
| weight:152lbs |
| Spent the afternoon working in the garden trying to get prepared for the next PG AI (that's aerial inspection). Who knew there would be sneak inspections from the google sphere. First there were the random drug tests, now this. And Lyn couldn't allow for such disgrace now that the daffs have started to bloom - instantly today the first burst of yellow has appeared from the many fronds on green poking thru the leaf cover.
After much raking and pruning, turned the attention to the veggie garden. You can relax Peter. It is still a bit frozen at the 10" level so maybe next week. Continued on to the compost and enjoyed giving that a good old turning, mixing the new grass clippings and rakings with last fall's sodden remains. Should be a good spread in a month or so when it's planting time.
So bring on the next AI! Or after all that, will you sneak back for a NAI? That's Night time. Just can never let he guard down. |
