| 10am Time-trial Tempo run @ VF Goat 1 course. Aiming for 60-something, but didn't make it - still, I was faster than both January attempts.
I was getting nauseated by the end - thought it was because I was getting sick (Angelica's had some cold/sick/Spring-allergy? thing going on), but perhaps I was overheated. At about 3-4pm I had to bail on work because the Migraine was beating the 3 Excedrin. Dark room, tried to sleep, eventuall threw up once. Better by ~2am.
Appparently I need to take the warmer weather more seriously - drink & eletroltye more (today I had 1 Dr. Pepper and a few drinking fountain sips before and after the time trial.) Dress less - e.g. shorts & gaiters would've been fine. And perhaps even drop a cold Gatorade at the halfway point of this run... |

| Oh, and I tore the front off my last pair of O'-shoes today - on the cooldown thankfully, but I'm down from 2 pairs (1-hybrid) to 0 pairs of spiked O'shoes in the past 2 weeks. |

| ahr:135 shoes: R-NB Grey Shoes |
| Schwenksville city park on Perk. trail (playground) to home, 1-way. Got Mt. Dew @ Wawa at ~45 minutes - with their 'blink' pay I was in & out of the store for less than 30 seconds... Was getting a little achy/tired and then got Gatorade @ ~1:45, and that got me the rest of the way. Was really having fun crusing along after the 2 hour mark on trails. My R-achilles was basically fine, competing with my left hamstring for a little attention, but not slowing me down. I may try light speedwork on Tuesday. |
Saturday Mar 24 |
| Strength 5:00 [1] | |
| |
| 20 pushups, 100e ankle work. R-achilles is a bit odd. |
| Running (Paved & Muddy Grass) 55:30 [2]6.0 mi (9:15 / mi) +100m 5:28 / km | |
| ahr:127 shoes: R-NB Grey Shoes |
| Some with Vadim, some by myself. Could feel the R-achilles the whole time, but in never got bad (like the last few days.) |
Friday Mar 23 |
| Running (Paved & Dirt trails) 57:31 [2]9.24 km (6:13 / km) +180m 5:40 / km | |
| ahr:132 max:144 (injured) |
| R-achilles much better - no pain until 3 minutes, then only mild pain for the next 50, enough that I ventured onto some new (to me) dirt trails off the side of the Horseshoe trail near 113. Fun run, but then, on pavement donwhill about 5 minutes from the car, something happened (not sure what) and it got as sore as yesterday... |
Thursday Mar 22 |
| Running 56:30 [2]9.4 km (6:01 / km) +120m 5:39 / km | |
| ahr:126 max:156 shoes: R-Nike Blue & White |
| Painfully slow run, mostly on the 5 mile loop pavement, still due to Right lower-calf/Achilles pain. The pain seemed a bit better today:
1) it was little higher up in the calf, mostly above the ankle bone and in the lower inside muscle, and
2) after about 30 minutes, it did stabliize a bit and the pain induced nausea subsided... And I managed to run the last 3 miles in under 10 minutes each...
3) it barely hurt at all in the afternoon.
But it is getting achy this evening. I think I should hit the Ibuprofin (haven't had any yet today.) |

| Running 38:22 [2]5.94 km (6:28 / km) +40m 6:15 / km | |
| ahr:117 max:142 rhr:36 weight:154lbs shoes: R-Nike Blue & White |
| R-achilles inside still darn sore while running. It kinda warmed up better today - i.e. at 12 minutes, the pain maxed out, and then slowly faded and returned in waves... Not quite enough to make me stop (e.g. only slightly nauseated from the pain... :) Was going quite slow - not trying to do anything hard - just warmup/jog to get it to feel a bit better. |
