Back With a Capital Vengence!

Walk 3 minutes + RUN 2 minutes times 6 with an extra 3 minutes thrown on to the last run for a total of 15 running minutes. No complaints except for the tight quad. No glute, hamstring, or ITband tightness.

Just got back from a whirlwind Western Tour: Winnemucca, Lassen NP, Arcata, Redwoods, Ashland, OR, Wine Country, Crater Lake.

Crater Lake is crazy blue!

P.S. I keep thinking about letting Lulu Walls go and moving over to Strava full time. I like maps and charts what can I say! We'll see.

Rode from me casa to the top of City Creek, Kona's first ride to Rotary Park. Pretty good ride considering I was going to turn around at the treatment plant.

Not feeling too horrible from yesterday's BIG run - just the same quad tightness, some moderate discomfort in both plantar fascia (more on the left), and lower leg wonkiness which could be due to my getting used to the Altras or the fact that that was my biggest run in 5 plus months post-surgical fun. I am guessing both were a factor.

Couple laps around Morris Meadows then hiked straight up some trail I had never been on for some 900 feet of gain whoops, which came out to not where I thought it would making me only slightly lost. Ran all the flat-ish sections for a total of about 20 minutes out of 70. Holy crap!

A patient I work with made it to the final round of voting for an entry into the Kona Ironman and I am so excited for him. He is a great guy with a great story and it is his dream to be at Kona. It is not too often that you can help someone make their dream happen so...

VOTE HERE and OFTEN!!!

3 minutes walking, 2 minutes RUNNING times 6 around Memory Grove. Only running on grass and trails. My new Minimus's feel really thumpy on the ground.

Alternating hiking and running for 60 minutes. Hip flexor and quad was tight and slightly painful the entire time. Felt like I should have quit around 30 minutes.
