[Yo Sake]

<p>Good morning peeps! </p>
<p> </p>
<p>I was just too anxious to see if the yesterday's cortizone injection would make any differences to my run this morning.  So totally ignoring 'easy few miles' by the podiatrist, but listening to Zdoc's input as a runner <span><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif" style="width:16px;height:16px;"></span>, I went for easy 5.5milers (a few miles ended up at MP, legs were too light due to not running two days in a row!).  It didn't make differences, which is good because I wasn't feeling any discomfort/pain anyway before the injection.  I didn't feel any zapping pain either during thorough stretching, which is very good.  However, my R foot got jealous I think.  Kind of noticed a little pull on the heel. </p>
<p>So, my plan is to run another 5 or so later today.  Then back to full schedule of running this weekend.  Will see.</p>
<p> </p>

<p>Morning!  Swim day for me today at lunch.  Hopefully the pool won't be as crowded as it was last friday.  Those darn new year's resolution people.  They are usually close to gone by now.  <span><img alt="icon_tongue.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_tongue.gif" style="width:15px;height:15px;"></span></p>
<p> </p>
<p>Strength workout at home tonight.  Finally not as sore from Tuesday's strength workout.  It was good to be sore again. </p>

<p>Yoshiko - glad you're on mend!!!!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>DOR for me. Might do some upper body strength training just for giggles.</p>

<p>Rest day, woohoo!  Finally busted out my Thursday trainer session, up to now the Tue/Thur combo was too much for my legs.  Felt pretty good about it until I looked back in my training log at last year's trainer workouts at this time.  Ummm....progress?  Not so much.  <yipes></p>

<p>Good morning, TEAM LIT!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Busy so right to it...</p>
<p> </p>

<p> </p>
<p>Have a great weekend!</p>

<p>34m 49s - 4.06 miles - 08m 35s/Mi<br><br>
9:00 AM <br><br>
Equipment: Nike Pegasus 03/10<br><br>
Cold/low 30s - cloudy and light wind. Crawford/Grinnell/Bradley to Wageman trail, back around to Grinnell/Crawford/Upton/home. Short easy run. Stretching afterward.</p>

<p>Planning on 11 miles after work. The Chief is in the building today so we're essentially in lock down until early this afternoon so no lunch run. I didn't get picked in the lottery to see the speech so I'll be catching it on internal webcast. The public can see it here: <a href="http://WhiteHouse.gov/Live" target="_blank">WhiteHouse.gov/Live</a></p>

<p>4 mile run with work buddy (easy - 9:10 miles), followed by one mile cooldown walk debating when this place was going to go tits-up.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>First time I've run 3x in one week since May 2010. I feel all studly.</p>

<p>I swam last night after work - 2500ish (which, scarily, felt short.  of course, I was in the yard pool instead of the meter pool, so technically it WAS short)  Considering how little I've been swimming, the fact that an hour+ of decently intense swimming feels easy is not a bad thing.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>One more swim by Sunday and I will have accomplished my lofty goal for the week of getting in the pool 3 times this week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>And it's under 120 days to Bay Bridge, so (past) time to start getting in the pool consistently.</p>

 

[Stitcher]

<p>Master's swim again outside today.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Lots of 50s and 25s sprinting/building/sculling/etc.</p>
<p>Friday is speed/power day.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Yay!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I kept up with the group...once we all figured out which repeat we were on!</p>
<p>First time in a loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time.</p>

<p>Long day for me.  Left Anchorage last night at 11:30 pm and got into O'Hare at 8 am.  Got some sleep at the Anchorage airport and on the flight, but it wasn't deep sleep.  Schedule called for a 3 hour run, it was about 48 deg in the afternoon and I've missed some key long runs so I needed to get this one in.  24.6 mi in 2:58.  Very strong west wind and I should have run north-south, but for some reason I picked a west-east route so I had a strong wind in my face the first half.  Was a lot easier coming home though.</p>

<p>Ultimately decided to take a rest day to rest my tendonitis a bit more. Had a bit of a bad day yesterday post run that had me questioning everything. Took today to get my head back on straight and will pick up with an easy 6 tomorrow and my LR on Sunday. That will leave me with only 5 miles down for the week but it's still early in the cycle.</p>

 

[therambler]

<p>Does protesting count as a workout??  I've sure lost weight this week, down 5 pounds in 2 days.  Hoping to get in some late night runs this weekend when not in the streets.  At least i'm walking... averaging about 6 miles a day, interspersed with hrs of standing and not a whole lot of sleep.  Tonight I'm going to get in some speedwork before bed.</p>

 

[cak73]

<p>Visit with my PT/coach this afternoon and I'm now sporting some sexy black kinesio tape on my left knee.  It's been feeling normal since yesterday's short run, but he just wanted to give it something extra.  Was encouraged to do long run tomorrow so, hopefully, that will go well, too.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>60 min on the trainer this evening.</p>

Ooh. I have red & black KT tape at home and get hot pink at the DC. The stuff itches like mad. I can never leave it on for the 3-4 days they say I can. It's one run and done...</p>
