Fri 7/1 - AM 30 minutes incl. intervals plus 60 minutes elliptigo plus 16 minutes in Walden

Another dork triathlon with track work thrown in for good measure. Disgustingly hot which made the running on the track feel like being broiled alive, but the dip in the pond all the more satisfying. Not as tired as yesterday thankfully.

Thu 6/30 - PM 90 minutes very easy

Originally intending to run to Pine Bluff and back, realized after about 10 minutes that I wouldn't make it that far. Made a loop instead from Winterberry Way to Hudson Road and back via Fairbank and route 27, an uninspired route if ever there was one. Completely utterly flat, with the pace getting slower as the run went along if anything. Many stops along the way for aluminum mining.

Wed 6/29 - PM 15 minutes plus 50 minutes elliptigo

Round trip to Pine Bluff with some running on Sudbury road--straight, smooth, paved road--in between the two legs. Did some 100s and 150s while going back and forth along the road, ankle sore and a bit stiff but held up to it well. Sticky and gross conditions.

Tue 6/28 - PM 80 minutes

Lincoln woods. First run of any length in some time it seems. Started slowly feeling rather stiff and awkward and then got going after that. Getting ready to round into a strong final 20 minutes when I rolled my left ankle fairly badly on an unseen tree root. Incredibly frustrating and had to walk a few steps while the joint snapped back into shape. I was able to finish the run, in fact once on smoother terrain I could even pick up the pace rather substantially. However not at all sanguine about how it might feel tomorrow.

Mon 6/27 - 30 minutes incl. intervals plus 50 minutes elliptigo

Pressed for time on the run due to getting home late after running errands, and had to stop after doing the "warmup" 100s and a set of 5x400 with 100 jog recoveries. From there it was on to the dork bike to join the CH for a trip to the lake.

Sun 6/26 - AM 40 minutes plus 60 minutes elliptigo plus 16 minutes in Walden

Another dork triathlon, similar to last Sunday but a bit longer of a run. Overall felt a bit better as I started earlier and got it done before the worst of the heat set in.

Sat 6/25 - double, 50 minutes plus 65 minutes elliptigo

AM - 50 minutes easy. Hit the outskirts of Area 51, windy enough that the flies weren't much of a problem. Moving quicker than yesterday but not by much

PM - 65 minutes elliptigo. Originally planned to stop for a dip in the pond but ended up riding right past as there wasn't time for it. The harder of the two sessions today by far.

Fri 6/24 - PM 85 minutes easy

Out and back to Pine Bluff via Track Road. The CH and I braved the deer flies, which weren't a problem on the trip out but most certainly were on the trip back after some time spent at the pond cooling off. Feeling quite tired even by Friday standards.

Thu 6/23 - PM 15 minutes elliptigo

Felt like garbage, as flat as the tire on the rear wheel ended up being after getting a few miles down the road. Both tire and tube shredded somehow, perhaps it got nicked riding on Winterberry Way the other day. In hindsight it was for the best, should have taken the day off completely.
