I was lucky this morning! It was wonderfully cool compared to how hot it is right now, sitting here on the patio beside the beckoning pool. It feels like it might be near 100 today.
My run was rather uneventful, which is actually eventful if you consider that I had no pain in my leg that was worth whining about. It would seem the stiff leg is finally loosening up. I noticed my heart rate was a bit high at one point and realized I was taking slightly longer strides, so I backed off. It’s not 100 percent yet and I really would like it to be 100 percent again soon. So no point in being stupid. I ran 10 miles on a five mile out and back course.
I can still feel the 16.2 mile run from last week in my legs. My resting HR was 56 this morning when I got up though, and that is about as low as I ever get. So recovery has occurred since that long run. Next weeks 18 miles is going to be very tough. I have to have a good week mentally and physically between now and then. It won’t be easy. Both Colin and CJ seem to have caught a cold…

Wow. In great shape also glad to hear you are healing.
Did you go long again yet? No rush, just wondering.
Did 29km. I am now paying the price. I anticipate changing the schedule I was working from. Now, both knees hurt. Oh well a few days on a bike will do me good.
What do you mean about changing the schedule? And when did you go 29KM?
I just did the math. That is great! I hope you are able to recover. Maybe you need to walk MORE.
My week has gone weel and I do not seem to have caught the kids cold. I will be going 30KM in the morning. It’s gonna be tough. There will be about 1800 feet of up and down.
