Mon 7/24 - PM 65 minutes easy, Lincoln woods. Ill wind blowing all day and decidedly cool temps for the time of year. Not feeling especially energetic after the weekend's efforts. Hamstring feels reasonably good relative to where it's been the past six weeks.
Tue 7/25 - off. Conditions even more miserable than yesterday with rain and gusty winds. In a different month this would have been a situation. Also still feeling the accumulated fatigue from last week, spent the entire late afternoon in bed.
Wed 7/26 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 20 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. The dismal garbage of the last two days were replaced by warm sunny and dry conditions. Felt alert enough after all the sleep yesterday to skip the nap today and meet the CH at the pond.
Thu 7/27 - PM 65 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. Took a while to get going, but finally thankfully done with the 4 day long day work weeks.
Fri 7/28 - PM 50 minutes plus 15 minutes in Walden.
Sat 7/29 - AM 85 minutes incl. trail race. One more go at the trail race on a mtb race course, this will surely be the last time. Course altered slightly from my previous visit but with the requisite twists and turns as well as numerous gnarly and awkward bumps to get up and over. Hamstring held up reasonably well to all this nonsense but I could feel it stiffening up on the cooldown, which went far longer than anticipated, in the neighborhood of 45 minutes. Got home with plans to go for a bike ride but a combination of gloomy overcast weather and my right ankle suddenly blowing up on me after not giving any trouble during the race or cooldown put paid to that. Wound up icing it multiple times over the evening, an unheard of step for me but necessary.
Sun 7/30 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. Left hamstring and piriformis took the brunt of it predictably but at least the ankle feels much better than it did yesterday afernoon.
