Powerlines

Out and back at Riverlin. St powerline trail for a 6.6 mile run in 68:45 (10:25 miles)

Mobility:
Hip couch stretch 2 minutes each side
Glute stretch with bent leg on couch, 3 minutes each side

  • General: Mobility felt so good today. I'm glad that I added it back into my routine because it's obvious that I perform better when I do it consistently. 3 times a week isn't too much anyway. Run felt good, achilles still isn't 100% but I'm convinced it's more scar tissue that I'm feeling than actual injury. Felt better than it has in almost a month. Probably won't run tomorrow even though I'm supposed to see if I can heal it for a long run Saturday.
  • Nutrition: Alright. Had 2 bagels for breakfast which was a first in a long time. Also had a bit of ice cream. Otherwise it was good.
  • Body: Legs are sore from not getting much recovery sleep. Felt tired all day (for good reason)
  • Sleep: 5 hours on the floor
  • Reflections: Looking like I'm going to take a break from drinking for a few weeks. Today's run suffered because of it although I wouldn't have gone much faster no matter what for fear of re-injuring a not ready achilles tendon. Think I need to start appreciating the times I drink more, go slower and be smarter in general..... and not do what I've been doing (binging every once in a while). Funny how you put things into perspective when you spend the whole night throwing up. I think I owe the body that I put through hell in training all the time that much at least. Looking forward to deadlifting tomorrow among other things.
