Sat 5/30 - double, 55 minutes total plus biking plus 24 minutes in Walden

AM - 20 minutes barefoot on the grass at Bentley. Following a 45 minute hammerfest ride to get there. Hip was getting tighter and tighter, no point in prolonging things so I stopped. The ride home went by the boards when I blew out a tire upon arrival.

PM - 35 minutes to and from Walden with 24 minutes in Walden. 40+ on the bike to and from Emerson field. Didn't really want to run again but I also didn't want to walk to Walden from the field or park my bike at the pond. Hip not quite as bad as the morning but still nothing but uncomfortable. Better after the pond than before. The pond was breathtakingly chilly, emerged blue-lipped after spending as much time in there as I could stand. Interested to see how the aquajogging would treat the problem joint and found it to be doable, only mild discomfort. One of the adductor muscles quite tender afterwards though. So ends the day of multiple exercise formats. Thankfully the weather cooperated, dank period of the past few days replaced by sun and warmth.
