baby steps
I got outside and ran on solid ground yesterday for the first time in 7 weeks! Woohoo! I walked down the sidewalk to a nearby park (sidewalk = hard surface = bad) and then jogged on the trail there to get to the soccer field. I ran laps on the padded-but-even astroturf for about 20 minutes at a heart rate of about 130bpm before feeling a bit of soreness in my foot and calling it a day. It was a fabulous feeling to be out running again. I hope that I can kep moving forward without re-injuring anything or regressing too badly.
Workout log:
Sun 25 Mar: solo 3+ hour ride... My goal was to go to the Sultan Bakery to get an Apple Cup - a delicious pastry with chunks of apple and cinnamon-sugary goodness. Its about 30 miles each way from the house. It was raining out and I couldn't get anyone to ride with me.... but I made it out to near Monroe before finding that Crescent Lake Rd was underwater. So instead I rode on to Snohomish and got a cinnamon roll and some hot chocolate at the Java Inn. 54 miles roundtrip... I threw in a 40-minute ez wsim afterwards...
Mon 26 Mar: 30min on the trainer and then the aforementioned RUN!!! 45 minutes of ez/commuter biking on PowerCranks later in the day, just to mix it up a little.
