1 mile run
Half hour one-on-one basketball
Another hour of shooting hoops
2 mile speed walk.
A week ago I tripped on a crack in the sidewalk while running at night, resulting in a bruised pectoral and numerous scrapes. You'd think I'd learn after tripping several times on sidewalks (especially at night) . A couple of years ago I tripped while carrying lunch leftovers and ended up with a face covered in white rice.
Day at the x-country races. Before the kids ran, I jogged the course the opposite way. Really hot day with one kid taken away in an ambulance. Our top girl finally met her rival, running a respectable sub 19min. on a tough course.
18 days on the elliptical = 999 minutes as of yesterday.
LOVE IT!
Best part is. . . I took my old CD collection out to the gym and have been falling back in love with stuff I haven't heard in years - sometimes decades.
I was inspired by helping at the Volcanic 50K and want to do it next year. I've hiked that trail in a day several times, but running it with a tiny bit of support seems like great fun.
So I began adding some longer runs. The 14 miler this past weekend seemed to go well, but my body suddenly started complaining on Tuesday. Took a whole day off - darn!! Made my husband do some massage on that pesky leg and iced the knee several times. It seems happier now. I ran t tentaative flat miles yesterday and 8 hilly miles today. All seems well. Maybe I'll get away with just one day off early enough to prevent an actual big interruption.
Last Saturday I joined a Dragonboat group. Holy crap, what a work out, it wss great. I'll be there next Saturday too, driving that huge canoe with a dragon on front and with a bunch of other masochists! Whoo hoo!
A few aerobic moves, moving fork to mouth, lifting beer to lips. Didn't blow it too badly....great dinner at the brewery with The Larry, Squeezo, Michelle, Jaybro, Ferretlegger and Art. Great climbing stories from young, old and in between. Back on the circuit tomorrow!
I ran the Silver Creek Falls Trail Marathon, OR yesterday. Pretty friggin awesome the creek crossing at mile 9 was mid thigh; shet load of single track through old growth; and to finish it off ya run under 3 waterfalls. The course is actually closer to 27 miles and the first 2 hours it was raining: Here's the elevation chart:
Nice, Krames!
A bunch of runs a d rides since I last poked in here. One 26 mile ride with a four mile ru in the middle.
Yesterday was a superb 10 or so mile mtn bike jaunt were we spied some boulders that inspired a bouldering sortie today! Perhaps we have found a new bouldering area! But keep that under your hat.....
I have been eating like crazy, btw.
After two breakfasts today we did the afore mentioned bouldering "sesh" then it was off to the rec center for weights and lap swimming. And a jump start :(
I did this thill I dry heaved yesterday. An hour of stairs will make your head spin for sure. I'm struggling to walk today.
My first El Cap route is this Spring and I want to get myself into what Hudon calls "Gator wrasslin shape" Maybe I'll keep an eye on this thread for motivation in the next six months.
It was a very, very long time ago, but we used to hop up the stairs (actually the seats in a concrete amphitheatre) on one leg, run down and repeat on the other leg. You have to have a bit of a running start. Seems like we did it for about 20 minutes.
Let us know!
