Command PT. Whole body strength work-out.

Event: QOC Manassas
 

Cherry Blossom 10 mile run. Thanks to the cold and wind, I had a hard time getting or staying warm, but despite that I felt great until mile 5, pretty good until mile 7, and then I was just in survival mode from miles 7-9. Then the wind died down just enough to make the last mile reasonably pleasant. Left immediately after the finish, as my hands were so cold I had a hard time opening my water bottle (and I hadn't bothered to bring gloves). Didn't quite make my goal time, but everything feels great today (Monday), and the hips/glutes/calves all held up surprisingly well for 10 miles on pavement.

Water polo for staff PT, then a few laps afterward.

Relatively easy warm-up (although the pool seemed fairly cold, so I definitely wanted to get my heart rate up as soon as I could) followed by 10x70m on the 1:30. Forgot to reset the interval timer on my watch, but it's time to reduce the intervals to 1:20. Finished with a easy 200 and a few minutes of treading water.

base trails with Jeremy. Calves started getting super tight about 12-15 minutes in, rather than the usual 20, so I'm not quite sure what's going on there. Have an appointment with the doc for my hip soreness in a couple weeks, probably worth asking about the calf/piriformis tightness as well. Not sure there's anything to be done about it (other than more stretching), but it'd be nice to be able to run without my calves hurting and my feet going numb.

C • All connected? 3

some push-ups, sit-ups, and a few weights after the run.
