Run
  • 43m 51s
  • 5.32 miles
  • 08m 15s /Mi

Felt good to get out there again. Calves a little tight, but loosened up enough so the run was comfortable

Strength
  • 20m

Core

Okay I lied.  I had to try running today. I was tracking a couple of people I knew running Boston today and with that being the ultimate goal this season I couldn't not go for a run today.  The good news is the legs felt alright. I'll take it easy this week before adding intensity back in

Bike
  • 1h 00m
  • 19.40 miles
  • 19.40 Mi/hr

Wanted to do this outside but we're under a high wind advisory. Didn't know such a thing existed. The trainer sucks at this point in the year

It's looking like Tuesday for a return to running.  It can't come soon enough

April 14

Run
  • 05m 45s
  • 0.67 miles
  • 08m 34s /Mi

Quick test run to see if the 10k was going to happen. Better than Thursday but not good enough

Decided to bail on the race today. The calves need a couple more days to come around. They have been sore like this twice before. After a marathon and after a half ironman and both times took around 10 days to get back to normal. I blame the hill

April 13

Travel day rest day for me. Heading north to the fam. Legs seem to have more pep today. We shall see about tomorrow

April 12

Run
  • 14m 15s
  • 1.64 miles
  • 08m 41s /Mi

Didn't make it far - calves still tight

Well that attempt at a run didn't go so hot.  Had to turn it around early. Barring some miraculous recovery in the next two days the 10k may not happen. Or maybe I'll just help pace my sister. Either way it will be a game day decision

April 11

Calves are still disgruntled today so I'm taking the whole day.  I want to run but don't want to push it. Tomorrow hopefully.

The other version of the race report is done too.

April 10

Bike
