Training Log Archive: Sandy

Another good class.

I think I need a plan, a la Mary. I seem to be drifting over into lots of yoga and not much running and never any o specific training. Not good. Will have to think about how to turn this around.

Hadn't done this in a while and those side raises got the better of me again. But I got through them.

A stroll on the beach at the Jersey Shore.

Had this weekend at the shore planned for a while, but still feeling ambivalent about deciding not to do the Highlander or at least the Lowlander.

A fairly big disaster. Walked down to the drive where I hoped to feel good enough to run 3 miles. A little after the first half, had to make a pit stop in the bushes and it never got much better. Walked some, ran a mile in 10 minutes, walked up the hill, tried to jog the road and couldn't even make it to the top. Bleah.

At least I got the yard mowed and the flower beds edged.

A fantastic class, kept moving the whole time, lots of strength stuff, my back bends are coming along (no where close yet but a very steady improvement), and I was doing hand stands pretty well. Side planks were my achilles heel today though - one good one each side was all I could manage. Small class tonight so everything was geared for each of us.

Checking streamers and then taking down streamers for a corporate team building orienteering program at the Ace Center. Ed Scott set it up and then asked if I could cover for him. I said ok since the Ace Center is only about 2 miles from my house. The folks seemed to have fun and a few asked me about orienteering afterwards. I figure I can log it since I was walking fast and since it was somewhat hilly even broke a sweat. :)

A combination of walking and running with Sandy on the drive.

I bought a scanner a few weeks back - I may try to scan my routes later this week when I get some time.

I hate stink bugs. There is a very noisy one buzzing around the room. They're bad enough when I find them dead or half-dead in the corners of the rooms and have to pick them up and dispose of them, but this one is very loud and really annoying.

Why don't you ever see baby-size stink bugs?

Did a little bit of stretching last night and a lot of icing last night and this morning and my knees are pretty good. Very happy with that! Wonder if the new knee brace is significantly better for my knee - I know it does fit a lot better so perhaps it does give better support.
