| 530 with DG + Fremont to 105th. Still feeling pretty cruddy, left achilles was the star performer this time, sticking today in a way that suggested heel spur, which would explain the weird off-center soreness in the foot. Took forever to warm up then I was running on it OK, but stretching afterwards it was still sticky. |

530 with DG + Fremont to 1005th. Woke up (again) at 3 in the morning, which has been par for the course lately; but this time I tried something new: Gatorade. It works! Fell right back asleep until 5:29 or so. Anyway, my body felt much better with the extra rest. Achilles better, groin still strained but less sore. Didn't have a whole lot of energy (some systems still sleeping?), but we took it slow so that worked fine. |

530 with DG. Clear and super-cold (for Seattle) with black ice all over the place.
So here's a conundrum. Sunday I was totally stuck and couldn't write a word, and Monday morning I felt like my body was going to spew spare parts all over the road. By contrast, the last two days I wrote really well and worked fairly efficiently, and lo and behold my body has felt great. Today the achilles was super, no complaints from the groin, stomach fine. What's up with that? Is it just that I sleep better when the work is moving along? |

530 with DG + Fremont to 105th. Much warmer out, but I had very low energy this morning. First Law of Thermodynamics in action, I guess. Picked it up some on the last mile. |

Did a test run from Woodland Park up to DG's place (20 minutes at a relatively easy pace), then twice around Greenlake. Gaggle of new recruits or maybe ROTC were doing a run, and to be honest they looked pretty bad, the first guy came in just as I passed, at 21 minutes for the 2.7 miles. I'm sure in a couple of months though they'd be lapping me in full body armor. We're at war, but these were the first soldiers in uniform (well, Army sweats) tha I've seen in a long time. In Turkey, in Israel, even in Switzerland, when I was working in those places, you saw them all the time. In Kitsap the Navy guys wear civvies when they're off base.
Ran pretty well, I think the first eight miles were about seven. Crapped out on mile nine again, though, for all there wasn't any uphill. No discomfort in the groin this time, but definitely weak. I think. Hangover from the marathon? I actually feel very spry, no soreness or anything. But haven't had a 40 mile week since I started the taper, so I was happy to run on home. Eights or nines next week. |
