| trail running 47:14 [3] | |
| weight:139lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06 | ||
| Slowly getting better. Good effort along the ridge trail to Sachem Head and back. Hamstring still a little sore, but more like what it was during mid-winter.
Still doing regular stretching, about 10 minutes at a time, 2 or 3 times a day. Legs are certainly looser. | ||
Friday Mar 30 | ||
| trail running 31:08 [3] | |
| weight:139lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06 | ||
| Same as the last couple of days, working harder. A decent run, though still some soreness. At least no falls today. | ||
| biking 38:00 [2]9.8 mi (3:53 / mi) | |
| Took the bike out of mothballs -- only time I used it last year was to go about 5 miles and it was clearly in need of repairs, so I took it off and had things fixed, but then never used it again.
Anyway, it was a nice day, low 60s, seemed like time to try again. I could tell I hadn't been riding.... Hey, nice color for biking! | ||

| Note | |
| I spent a few minutes reviewing my "training" since I zapped my hamstring not quite 4 weeks ago. At that point I wrote the following --
So, now what? My guess is no orienteering for at least a month or two. I would think I should try to do the following over the next several weeks: -- Try to get some sort of evaluation as to what sort of damage I've done, and maybe a treatment plan. And then stick to it. -- Try to figure out some form of exercise that I can do to at least keep a tiny bit of fitness (at this age, a couple months off means it will take another 2-3 months of miserable runs to get any semblence of fitness back). -- Try not to put too much weight on, though that is already going in a bad direction. -- Try to keep positive. None of the above will be easy. So how have I done? I'd actually give myself a good score, pretty close to 4 out of 4. There hasn't been a lot of cross training, but at least there has been some. One other area that I've been negligent in -- keeping up with AttackPoint. Haven't done a full Eddie, but haven't been doing much other than logging "training." Need to get back in the flow, though it may not be until after April 17. | ||

| rhr:51 weight:139.5lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06 | ||
| Same as yesterday, a little more briskly, though that included one crash that removed some skin from one knee but no other damage. Feels good to be doing something, on the verge of being able to say, I feel great!
I hope... | ||

Wednesday Mar 28 | ||
| trail running 33:54 [2] | |
| weight:139.5lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06 | ||
| Not so bad. Still sore, but a little better than yesterday. Followed by another PT session, massage and more laser treatment. Excellent.
Serious amounts of ice disappeared in the last 24 hours, trails are probably 90% bare ground. So is the golf course. :-) | ||
| Note | |
| For the first time this month started thinking about doing some orienteering this spring/summer. Will have to see what the possibilities are. | ||

| road running 27:03 [2] | |
| weight:140lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06 | ||
| A little longer. From the Body Shoppe up to the tower via the roads, back a bit of trail (reasonably crappy footing, ice and slush) and more road. Dull ache the whole way, didn't get any better or worse. And as expected, almost a month off of running has set me back a long ways. Trying to work into this slowly.
Still doing lots of stretching. And a new program for trying to keep the weight under control. No, it's not the coconut oil diet. | ||

| weight:140lbs shoes: Pegasus 08/06 | ||
| The lollipop part of the 2 silos loop, just a nice place with absolutely no traffic. Went a little farther, still a little sore, who know if it's better or worse to do something. | ||
