Wed 7/1 - 60 minutes very easy

Area 51, right leg holding up as well as can be expected, although there's now soreness on the left side that continued from yesterday. Lowermost abdominals stiff and sore all day at work, felt better once I got on the road thankfully. I had planned to push it out to an hour by this weekend but a few days ahead of schedule. Cool and rainy again, took a chance that this would keep the deer flies at bay and this was more or less the case.

7/1/09

Tue 6/30 - run 45+ minutes, Walden 28 minutes

Extended the run a little bit further than yesterday, no problems to speak of on the right side but the left adductor felt plenty sore afterward which was unexpected and unwelcome. I'm doubtful it'll be debilitating though. Unlike yesterday's millpond conditions the pond was choppy with a persistent NE breeze, which pushed me on the return leg.

6/29/09

Mon 6/29 - PM run 40 minutes, Walden 30 minutes

no bike today, adductor still feeling a bit overworked from the weekend. We'll see what effect if any removing the cycling has. Stretched out the run and aquajogging a bit, the first leg of the run to the pond was more stiff and awkward than the return leg. Extending my stride beyond a short length results in problems, makes for slow going. Warmer today, pond has finally got to the point where it's not obnoxiously cold.

Sun 6/28 - run 30 minutes, bike 45 minutes, Walden 24 minutes

Yesterday's effort left more of a mark, or maybe it's just cumulative from the past two days. Still manageable. Some moments of feeling nearly whole but they typically happen on flat ground and any deviation from that brings me back to reality. Riding the bike on rt. 62 through E. Maynard has become extremely tiresome. Dreary weather conditions, threatening overcast all afternoon. Got a late start.

Sat 6/27 - run 30 minutes, bike 60 minutes, Walden 25 minutes

Back to the mini-triathlon routine, with a trip for groceries thrown in for good measure. Adductor and hip not showing any real ill effects so far but the area still feels somewhat weak and vulnerable.

fri 6/26 - run 30 minutes, Walden 24 minutes

Moving very gingerly throughout. Stiff and hobbling somewhat but it's been worse.

6/18-6/25 off

Overdid it again, stuck doing PT exercises only as a result. Taking advil in earnest, extremely dreary and tiresome.
