FIVE 13 - 19 (45.3)

Monday 13

Resting HR 58.

Easy Run Gone Bad 

I made it through the warm up and 2 strides. On the third stride my right calf started hurting. This was very disappointing, especially after yesterday's run. Current status is I can't run 2 consecutive days.

Intentions for the week:
  1. Continue to hydrate, more if possible
  2. Try not to get too frustrated

Tuesday 14

Resting HR 59. I was awake 3-4 times last night, thankfully I went back to sleep each time. Recovery day: right calf soreness.

Wednesday 15

Resting HR 63. I'm still dealing with calf issues. Somewhat depressed.

Thursday 16

Resting HR 65 (why so high?). I had to take a few Advil for my achy legs. Fine otherwise.  

Lunch Ride

This was a nice 25 mile ride. 1 hour and 29 minutes. 16.9 MPH. No issues!

Gym session
Plank circuit, Bridge circuit, Push ups 28, Press 65, 75, 85, 3 sets of 5, Leg press 90, 3 sets of 10, T-bar row 55, 3 sets of 6, Foam roll, Hip flexor stretch, Calf stretch, Pistol squat 3 sets of 8 supported

Friday 17

Resting HR 67 (DAMN!). 

Haw Ridge MTB

Saturday 18

Resting HR 63. Didn't sleep great. 

Running the Vines

I had hoped to give it a go, but couldn't pull it off. First DNF of the year. 

Sunday 19

Resting HR 62.

Haw Ridge

Ridge > Powerline > Kaboom > East Ridge. Trails heal the soul, maybe the body. Fingers crossed. No issues.

Abridged Beer Run

 5k no issues, except the heat and hills. Sexy Ultra Pace 10:53. Walked the hills.
