 | Orienteering race 20:30 [2] 2.1 km (9:46 / km) +70m 8:22 / km | |
| shoes: O-VJ Integrator Cleats |
| After walking white in 90 minutes with Oriana, I decided to try walking it fast. That was pretty much okay after 10 minutes, so I tried jogging it mostly on the 2nd half. During that half the knee pain slowly appeared, and was getting mildly sore by the end. Not terrible, but the same-old pain that normally only gets worse. I may try this again next week, after a week of walking/biking only. Or something like that. |
| Orienteering 1:30:00 [1] 2.1 km (42:51 / km) +70m 36:44 / km | |
| shoes: O-VJ Integrator Cleats |
| Walking White with Oriana and French Creek East. She actually did the whole White course, with me helping. She decided most of the ways to go - basically looking for the right trail on the map & ground after I told her where we were on the map.
Mostly her interests wander a bunch, which slows us down because moving forward slips out of focus, but it is kinda interesting what she does focus on. E.g. we saw lots of different fungi, including a dead tree with 'climbing wall' shaped fungi, well spaced as if you could almost climb right up it. And she liked the obsidian pieces we found on the trail. I think that's what it is... And crossing the creeks w/o getting wet was pretty fun (although one of her feet went in a bit once.) |

| Cycling 45:00 [2] 7.86 mi (5:44 / mi) +50m 5:37 / mi | |
| |
| New bike from ... Walmart. Pretty nice for $129, but the stem is too short for me. I wonder if I should return it, or just look for a longer stem. |

Friday Mar 28 |
| Cycling (Reclined stationary) 20:00 [2] | |
| ahr:140 |
| Campbell, L12, 710 cal/hr.
Heading home today. I might go buy a real bike tomorrow. (Ala Walmart...) Glute and hamstrings getting sore-tired by the end. L-knee fine on the bike, although it still feels 'different' on stairs, sometimes. |
Thursday Mar 27 |
| Cycling (Reclined stationary) 20:00 [2] | |
| ahr:142 max:156 |
| First level-2 workout in a long time. L12 in Campbell. 780cal/hr.
I'm pretty sure I'm pushing asymmetrically, although I'm trying not to.
The L-knee was fine during this (I feared it wouldn't be given the effort). Did DT/stretch/'ice' afterwards (ice being a diet coke from the fridge, there being no ice here...) |
| Walking 22:00 [1] 2 km (11:00 / km) +200m 7:20 / km | |
| shoes: R-Saucony Gray |
| Campbell treadmill said this was 10% grade but it didn't feel that hard. If I joined a gym, I might try a stairmaster or something soon, to keep up the 'walking' but increase the difficulty... |
Wednesday Mar 26 |
| Cycling (Reclined stationary) 20:00 [1] | |
| ahr:100 |
| AM: L10 in Campbell, ~500 cal/hr. No pain in the knee. (It's definitely assymttric/differnt feeling than the R-knee, but not pain like running for 3+ minutes does...) |
| Walking 20:00 [1] 1.82 km (11:00 / km) +144m 7:53 / km | |
| shoes: R-Saucony Gray |
| PM: Also about ~500 cal/hr. effort, according to the treadmill |
Tuesday Mar 25 |
| Running 10:00 [1] 0.8 mi (12:30 / mi) | |
| shoes: R-NB 531's |
| 2 x 2.5 minutes, then 4 minutes, stopping at 4 instead 5 planned because knee was getting painful. There seems to still be a pretty serious limit on how far I can run... Darn. TT odds 20%. WOC odds 5%... |
| Walking warm up/down 20:00 [1] 1.11 mi (18:00 / mi) | |
| shoes: R-NB 531's |
| Uphill 10 minute warmup, then intra running |
Monday Mar 24 |
| Cycling (Reclined stationary) 20:00 [1] | |
| ahr:100 |
| L10 in Campbell, ~500 cal/hr. Knee didn't get sore on this. And this is probably almost as much cardio effort as my 12min/mile running attempts. Perhaps I can ramp up on this and get a little cardio work as well as restrengthing the knee a bit. |
