Training Log Archive: Spike

Not much of a run. I was on the trails at Wyandotte Lake (after spending a couple of hours touring Deffenbaugh's recycling facility and landfill). From the start my foot hurt. I figured it wouldn't get any worse and just kept going. But, it did get worse. I turned around after about 25 minutes and went back.

I think it'll be ok in a day or 2. I'll give it another try tomorrow, I think.

After I got home, we went to the movies and saw Moneyball. I thought it was a bit slow moving, but I'm interested in the subject and that didn't really bother me. It isn't a great movie, but I enjoyed it. I hadn't realized how prominently the Royals would be. It was actually almost like a prototypical Royal's game - they did well enough to get your hopes up, but not well enough to win the game.

Work commute.

My foot was a bit sore all day. When I was running on the trails yesterday I stepped on a pointy rock. The Inov 8's have a thin sole and I bruised the bottom of my foot. I took it extra easy today.

Work commute.

Short run on the trails at Clinton. I did a bit of a warm up and then ran my short running test. The plan is to use the test 1x a month. Last month I ran 13:50. This time I ran 12:48. Some of the improvement is that I am running a bit better. Some of the improvement was that the weather was nice (about 70 rather than 90 or whatever it was last month).

C • test course 2

Work commute. Another long day at the office - an interesting mix or remarkably useful and substantive discussions/work and also dealing with some rather annoying junk.

Short run on West Campus. I had my headlamp out for the first time this season.

Work commute. It was a long day, including attending the first part of the CC meeting.

Work commute. The trip to work was an interesting mix of brilliant sun and heavy fog.

Row, row. The stupid finger that I hurt was a bit uncomfortable.

Some jogging around as I put out controls for the event at Robinson. Rainy most of the time.
