Other Aerobic (Elliptical) 10:00 [2]

On the way to do 2 hours of mapping at McKaig, I stopped at my old Apt. gym. Old key still worked so did elliptical and strength.

Strength 10:00 [1]

Long PT, sort of...

Running (Grass, paved) 20:13 [3] 2.7 km (7:29 / km)
ahr:153 max:167 shoes: R-Reebok White/Gray/Red

4x5 minutes
The local O' course. 35 minutes (w/half walking) vs. ~22 long ago. Getting closer to running. Thinking it would be nice if there was a Sprint soon so I could jog 20 minutes and get a few points, but alas, it's not to be... Maybe for the better so I keep ramping up slowly...

Leg a little burn/twinge sore during the 3rd of 5 minutes, but overall, and after, there were no signs that this is doing anything bad. And I was moving faster too. At this rate, I might even run a 10 minute mile by some time next week :)

Wore the really old shoes. Should try the new (same model) ones again.

HR (and perceived exertion) high enough at this pace for me to know my cardio shape is really bad. But it's nice that my leg will soon not be the only thing holding me back...

Swimming 5:30 [2] 0.17 mi (32:18 / mi)

I may just do water running next time I hit the gym. Would be good to do ~20 minutes of that, but that may be hard to self-motivate for...

Deep Water Running 12:00 [1] 0.1 mi (1:59:57 / mi)

Dull alone, did squares...

Strength 2:00 [1]

A little heat then stretching this morning. Leg does seem to have a mild discomfort going on. More like the light burn of old rather than a pressure-annoyance, but very very light.

That compares to a few times in Ukraine where I didn't really notice it for half a day or more. Not sure if it's worse, or if I'm just paying much more attention to it here. As it's certainly not bad, the slow return to running is still on schedule. In part I agree that if the therapists can't really find it, it can't be that bad. Plus, it's not hurting much while sitting (at least if I sit will the left foot on the chair as I've gotten in the habit of doing...)

C • You're on schedule 2

Running (Trails) 15:28 [2] 1.32 km (11:43 / km) +60m 9:33 / km
ahr:151 max:173 shoes: O-Mixed purple & black

McKaig Trails again. Leg felt fine during, and during long PT after. Iced anyway for good measure.

Strength (Long PT) 11:00 [1]

Tuesday Jul 4, 2006 #

Swimming 10:30 [2] 0.53 km (19:49 / km)

Leg a little burning in the evening today. Not too much, but perhaps I shouldn't ramp up the running yet - hold at 3x5, and keep if flatter is the current plan for tomorrow.

Deep Water Running 10:00 [1] 0.05 mi (3:21:10 / mi)

Other Aerobic 5:30 [1]
ahr:105 shoes: R-Reebok White/Gray/Red

Elliptical

Strength 15:00 [1]

One short PT set mid-day. On long, but incomplete PT set in the evening.

Strength (Weeding) 5:00 [1]

Back to civilization.

After two weeks gone with plenty of rain & sun mixed, I found 90 minutes to pull out most of the major weeds from the flower beds. All that leaning and squating's gotta count for something, esp. given that I had to take rest breaks :)

Overall, my leg continues to improve slowly and steadily. Almost no daily pain, and I'm even running just a little.

Running (Trails) 15:30 [2] 1.6 km (9:41 / km) +30m 8:51 / km
ahr:133 max:148 shoes: R-Reebok Light Blue

Still following the advice of the HHT bible, I was up to 3x5 minutes of running today, w/5-minute walks before/between/after. This time on the trails at McKaig. There was evidence of significant water flow there not long ago...

A little leg discomfort by the end of the last 5 minute segment.

Strength 12:00 [1]

Long PT set at home
