Training Log Archive: maprunner

saw the podiatrist today. Good news: I can start wearing the boot one hour less per day. One more week and it's gone. Then I start wearing the orthodics for one hour more per day. Follow up visit in three weeks. Jogging is at least 6 weeks away.

Good thing I signed up for Yellow at West Point.

C • How many hours... 3

I decided to try to find a pool today. So I went to the county YMCA, which allows residents 3 free passes per year. I thought it would be empty on a cold miserable day: not. Everyone who is afraid of the cold (or wanted the kids out of the house for a few hours) was there. Used whichever weight machine was available, in any order (as long as there was no weight put on the foot). Then I jogged in the lap lanes.

I miss my private ice rink and pool. On the other hand, there were lots of sights to distract me and make the time go faster, and the turbulent water helped raise my HR much higher than usual.

The pool is closed this weekend (so they can use it for a swim meet, those pesky HS kids, sheesh :) so I had to be creative in finding ways to train without too much weight on my feet.

I decided to go for a walk at PNS, partly because I really needed to get back to the woods, and I wanted to test how it would feel to walk without the boot. I did a brisk walk, but I think I should have stopped after 20 minutes. My arch is hurting now, although the heel is OK.

Then a shortened weight routine (no leg work).

Event: OCIN 25th Anniversary / Flying Pig XIII / Relay Champs
 

Lots of ankle stretches tonight. Average person can pull their foot back 15 degrees; I can do 8 :(

Last class of this session. Trying to decide if I should signup for the next session, or not.

My car hit 199K today

C • Can't believe I followed this link... 6

house update
Weeks on market: 2
Showings: 12

We looked at few houses in Lawrence tonight. It will be harder to find a house we like in our limited search area (east of Iowa and south of 15th).

I was really not in the mood for class tonight; I almost didn't go. I watched the clock the whole time. Lots of arm work tonight. Very happy to finish and go home.
