Mon 8/7 - PM 75 minutes, Lincoln woods plus 20 minutes in Walden. Moving reasonably well for most of the second half of the run. Muggy conditions back after a sunny dry day yesterday.
Tue 8/8 - PM 50 minutes very easy, out and back along the newly paved rail bed in Maynard and South Acton. Took a nap that went a good hour and a half longer than planned and woke up completely out of it. Stumbled out the door so as to join the CH. Many stops to check out the new construction along the path. Desperately need to get to bed earlier.
Wed 8/9 - PM 55 minutes elliptigo arc plus 20 minutes easy and 20 minutes in Walden.
Thu 8/10 - PM 60 minutes very easy. Slow putter of a jog around Maynard. Mowed the lawn upon getting home and celebrated this achievement by frittering away the rest of the afternoon asleep on the couch. Woke up in a confused daze and groggy for hours. Incapable of getting to bed at a decent hour and I don't have a decent reason for it at the moment. Run was utter garbage as a result, and as an added kick in the nuts I somehow aggravated the piriformis/hamstring area again although it certainly wasn't from anything I did in training the past few days.
Fri 8/11 - PM 50 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. The left leg not as stuck as it was yesterday but still something off. Tired and fatigued overall, unsurprisingly.
Sat 8/12 - AM 60 minutes incl. 10k road race. Fourth year in a row of this race, humid like last year but 15 degrees cooler and overcast which made a big difference. Given how drag-ass tired I've felt of late, more so than usual even, the race went as well as I could have hoped. Made a conscious effort to hold something back early on, first two miles evenly split in 5:52 apiece. Then up the hill where I lost a few people I had been running with. Third mile in 7:37, fourth downhill mile in 5:35 or so. Upon bottoming out I realized my legs felt more like jelly than I had realized and took care not to blow up in the fifth mile. Thought I was in the clear for the age group prize but the one guy I had to worry about who was right on my shoulder for the first two miles was worming his way back into contention at the turn off 112 heading back to town. At this point I wanted nothing more than to take the pedal off the gas a bit but instead I was obligated to keep pressing until the final turn on to the bridge, at which point I knew I was safe. Sixth mile 5:47. Very easy cooldown with the CH.
Sun 8/13 - PM 65 minutes elliptigo arc plus 20 minutes easy and 20 minutes in Walden. The original plan was to do a hilltopper run out in Northfield and/or Winchester but that went by the boards last night when heavy rains washed out the campsite and we headed home early. Woke up completely frazzled and lost any chance of getting a workout in during the morning hours as a result. In hindsight, for the best that I went with the dorkathlon instead, as the legs are a bit trashed from yesterday. Right adductor in particular feels like I might have mildly strained it, something I actually first noticed while warming up yesterday morning. Quite humid but not terribly hot.

8/8/17
Week of 7/31-8/6
Mon 7/31 - PM 65 minutes, Lincoln woods plus 18 minutes in Walden. Puttering at first, but moving better later on.
Tue 81 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. Got back just in time to mow the lawn, or most of it until darkness put an end to it.
Wed 8/2 - PM 75 minutes, Lincoln woods plus 15 minutes in Walden. Moving better than the last run in the woods Monday.
Thu 8/3 - off. This zero was planned as I had a date at the ballpark with the CH. Mowed the lawn and it was hot enough for me to be sweating profusely after 20 minutes of that.
Fri 8/4 - PM 45 minutes very easy plus 15 minutes in Walden. Very very tired after too many days in a row of getting to bed far too late. A struggle to get on the trail and from there a plodding slog. Disgusting humidity didn't help any.
Sat 8/5 - PM 60 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. Still really tired from the week, and again a struggle to muster up the energy to get out the door. Nothing a few nights of sleeping a reasonable amount of time wouldn't fix but that's saying a lot. Heavy rain showers which is less annoying than the humidity they left behind.
Sun 8/6 - PM 65 minutes elliptigo arc plus 30 minutes and 18 minutes in Walden. Spent the late morning paddling in Hingham harbor, making the dorkathlon a late afternoon affair. Felt more energetic than I was expecting. Left leg stiffened up on car ride but felt better after some stretching and rolling before heading out.
Tue 81 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden. Got back just in time to mow the lawn, or most of it until darkness put an end to it.

8/6/17
Week of 7/24-7/30
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.

7/31/17
Week of 7/17-7/23
Mon 7/17 -PM 60 minutes easy plus 20 minutes in Walden. Even with the day off from work, kind of tough getting out the door.
Tue 7/18 - AM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden.
Wed 7/19 - AM - 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes in Walden
PM - 60 minutes very easy, Northfield/Winchester. Thought I'd have a bit more in the tank for this one but found myself dragging after making the drive out. As such, first run of "training camp" was a slow putter. Sticky conditions.
Thu 7/20 - AM 60 minutes, Shelburne Falls. After a short loop around the village starting from the school, did a loop that included Crittenden Hill twice. Trying to leave a bit in the tank for the second trip which I feel I was able to do. Quite hot and fairly humid, got started later than I would have liked and sweat out what seemed like many pounds of fluid. Leg feeling reasonably good but certainly not 100%.
PM - 40 minutes very easy, Northfield/Winchester. Out along Winchester Road, back along route 10. The morning's effort definitely took a fair bit out of me, just jogging in the evening.
Fri 7/21 - AM 65 minutes, Old Wendell. Another solid uphill effort, this one without the pesky downhill stretches. Once again hot with a somewhat late start.
PM - 35 minutes very easy. Out and back along the rail trail in Northampton/Hadley. Absolutely fried and still hadn't fully digested lunch which made for another slow waddle. Worn down for sure.
Sat 7/22 - AM 75 minutes, Staddle Hill to Burt Hill Road, up to the TV tower from the covered bridge. Punked out of the planned Schofield Mountain portion of the run, as it became clear it would have taken too long to do and taken too much out of me. The hilly running of the past two days left its mark in terms of general fatigue. Moving rather slowly the first half of the run, somewhat better after that.
Sun 7/23 - AM 80 minutes elliptigo arc plus 18 minutes in Walden. Longer ride with the CH with a sightseeing break at the rude span that arched the flood followed by a dip in the pond, which was a welcome relief from the heat. Headed back via 126 and 117 with the deceptively challenging climbs out of Sudbury.
Tue 7/18 - AM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy plus 18 minutes in Walden.
Wed 7/19 - AM - 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes in Walden

7/24/17
Week of 7/10-7/16
Mon 7/10 - PM 60 minutes plus 20 minutes in Walden. Left leg not dragging as badly as it has been of late, perhaps down to a bit more time spent stretching the past few nights.
Tue 7/11 - PM 30 minutes elliptigo arc plus 10 minutes easy. Rode over to the pond, brief jog to get from parking lot to the pond's edge, sat in the water and jogged back. At this point I realized I had no energy to make the trip back. The rapidly setting sun had something to do with it as well. Thankfully the CH was there to save the day with a ride back.
Wed 7/12 - PM 70 minutes plus 20 minutes in Walden. Just as I hit the trail the rain started and it quickly progressed to full-blown torrential downpour, the most intense of a summer that has featured rain on a regular basis it seems. Raining so hard that the trails became waterways or linear ponds, depending on the slope or lack thereof. Along with it came the usual thunder and some visible lightning, which thankfully passed by the time I got to the pond. After a steamy and gross day, the temp dropped 20 degrees or so and as such the water in the pond was warmer than the ambient air temp. Not a typical situation for this time of year. Left hamstring still stiff but it might, might be getting better rather than simply staying the same.
Thu 7/13 - off. Once again worn down to nothing by the grind of the short week with long days.
Fri 7/14 - AM 50 minutes plus 15 minutes in Walden. Kept the overall volume down a bit. Hamstring still stuck but stretching may be having some positive effect.
Sat 7/15 - AM 50 minutes incl. 5 mile road race. Unimpressive on the whole but a step forward compared to the last couple turds. Hamstring stiff and tight, my feeble attempt at warming up didn't do much for it and it felt hideous off the line. Took the better part of the first mile, which thankfully was flat and straight, for it to feel somewhat better. The layout of the course led to a pattern of alternating mile splits in the 5:40s with mile splits of just north of 6 minutes on the hillier 2nd and 4th miles. Tried to wind things up on the final mile with only limited success. With no training to speak of for months now and dragging one leg or the other around with nagging strains and insults, not much else can be expected in terms of lack of fitness. With a little bit of attention to detail I'm hopeful things will eventually turn around but I do myself no favors much of the time by not sticking to the routines that are boring but necessary. Very humid morning but overcast and cooler than normal for this time of year and given how little shade is on the course I can only imagine how bad it could be on a year without the cloud cover.
PM 60 minutes very easy out and back along the trail to Franconia Falls. Perhaps the only trail in the area that isn't a rollercoaster and I was certainly thankful for it. Easy jog with the CH to the falls which came as advertised, very scenic and a great way to cool off. Left leg sore but not as stiff as I was expecting after the effort this morning.
Sun 7/16 - AM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy and 20 minutes in Walden.
Tue 7/11 - PM 30 minutes elliptigo arc plus 10 minutes easy. Rode over to the pond, brief jog to get from parking lot to the pond's edge, sat in the water and jogged back.

7/10/17
Week of 7/3-7/9
Mon 7/3 - PM 50 minutes plus 20 minutes in Walden. Extended the run a bit too long given the race tomorrow morning on tap but I wanted to test the hamstring a bit. Feels moderately better than it has of late but still sticking somewhat. More intervals in the water, not sure why I went away from doing this while aquajogging however many years ago.
Tue 7/4 - AM 60 minutes incl. 4 mile road race. Terrible effort, effectively beat myself before the gun went off. Unable to get to bed at a decent hour and as such showed up hopelessly overextended. Combined with the fact that the left leg has made any type of substantive training a pipe dream and my goose was cooked. Unable to maintain 5:45 pace after two miles. Took a lot of leg swings, i.e. around a hundred or so, for the left leg to feel like something other than a stuck piece of garbage. Took a nap later in the day and woke up with the entire hamstring feeling like it had hardened into a giant spasm. Warm morning quickly turning to hot but with little humidity.
Wed 7/5 - PM 70 minutes easy plus 20 minutes in Walden. Hammie felt predictably terrible after yesterday's insult to it. Dragging the entire way. Felt better after being in the water, it seems spinning my wheels in the water helps to loosen up the joint somewhat.
Thu 7/6- PM 65 minutes elliptigo arc plus 10 minutes in Walden. Late start cut short the time in the water. Happy to get any time in the water at all as I wasn't expecting to.
Fri 7/7 - off. Not expected but in hindsight I had it coming. Overextended the past two days with no nap then or Monday either and long days at work. A little taste of what's to come in late August with coaching. Overcast day with persistent rain showers, not the greatest for biking or swimming, but not a reason to skip them entirely. Just too tired after lunch, and by the time I woke up after a far too long nap the window had closed.
Sat 7/8 - AM 35 minutes very easy. An excursion that could only loosely be categorized a run, with stops aplenty. With the hamstring continuing to plague me and at its worst in the morning, this was an exercise in slow futility. Feeling like I'm injured in all but name only, and likely to be leaning on cross training heavily for the near future. Yesterday's rain gave way to the morning's sticky gross conditions.
PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes easy and 20 minutes in Walden. Much more of an aerobic stimulus than the morning at least. Arrived at the pond just in time for the predictably obnoxious late afternoon showers with thunder of course. Once I saw the guy swimming around the pond's circumference I knew at least I wouldn't be the only casualty in case of a lightning strike.
Sun 7/9 - AM 40 minutes easy plus 65 minutes elliptigo arc and 20 minutes in Walden. The return of the dorkathlon, done with the sun at its height. Luckily dry and breezy weather came in after yesterday's showers. The entire experience took closer to 3 hours with the various breaks and transitions. Left leg the same garbage as it has been all week.

Week of 6/26- 7/2
Mon 6/26 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes in Walden.
Tue 6/27 - PM 80 minutes easy, Lincoln woods. Had every intention of getting in the pond after a hot day but a heavy storm with hail, lightning and the whole bit ruined all that. Still dragging left leg.
Wed 6.28 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc. No time for anything more. Not sure if the elliptigo riding might be makng the perpetually sore left hammie worse or not.
Thu 6/29 - off. Paying the bill for the past few days of being overextended.
Fri 6/30 - PM 80 minutes easy, Lincoln woods. Same script as Tuesday, unable to get into pond thanks to more obnoxious late afternoon t-storms. Left hammie complete garbage and a source of much frustration.
Sat 7/1 - AM 65 minutes elliptigo arc plus 15 minutes in Walden. Left hammie stiff, in desperate need of getting back into some kind of stretching routine. Piriformis a likely root cause and it remains tight as a drum. Lots of driving after finishing up.
Sun 7/2 - PM 60 minutes elliptigo arc, 15 minutes easy, plus 20 minutes in Walden. Got started as late as I could after a hot day that included time spent at the beach and a coupld of hours behind the wheel along with yard chores. Left leg better than it was on Friday but nowhere near good and not really functional for running worth a damn. Incredibly frustrating, and finding time to do stretching has become ridiculously difficult.
