Clyde's Comeback!

40 mins on the elliptical to start the day off. Then right into a 7.6 mile run around the middle B-hills loop and extended through LV. 

Got home and did 3+ hours of yard work (no mileage awarded for this). Then Mik'L came home from work just after 1 p.m feeling kind of sick. So while her and Myler were napping I decided to go for a ride.

58.25 mile ride in 2:45:30 and a 21.1 mph avg. Best ride so far. Out around the southern parkway, Sun River, Bloomington loop, Tonoquint to Santa Clara, Up to Kayenta and around all of it, Down into Ivans, over the parkway, up over skyline drive into Washington, through the fields, small tour in LV and finally back home.

2.4 mile run after the bike to shake the legs out. At the end of the ride the legs were loosing it. But once I got going one the run I felt pretty good all things considered and wish I would have had time for around 10 miles just so I could have killed myself totally off for the day):. 

We'll see how I recover and handle the rest of the week.

Middle B-hills loop. Other than the super fatigued legs this run was solid. One of the best in a long time. No sharp pain! Both the ankle and the groin area felt above 80%. I know you have good days and bad so I'll enjoy this one as good. I'll spend the rest of the day trying to recover from yesterday and get some calories down the hatch. 

Logan and I got back on the weekly DC loop. Had the alarm set for 4:40 but woke up at 4:13 so that sucked. Run was pretty good. Achy in the normal places but nothing too bad. Glad the pace was slow. 

38.7 mile ride in 2:00:57 or 19.1 mph avg this morning out to the airport then back around sunriver/ bloomington/ b-hills. Left the house right before daybreak. Froze my butt off, actually feet and face. Didn't try and ride hard just wanted to get the time in. Had big ski gloves on so the hands were warm but bike control and feel were low. Got home and my feet were really numb. From the tips of my toes down to about the arch it was just a dead spot. Changed cloths and shoes and headed out for the run.

7 mile run around the middle B-hill loop then extended through the Secret st. The first 1.4 miles were really weird with the frozen/ thawing feet. Didn't ever hurt but just felt really weird.  7:19 avg as I just took it EZ and tried not to aggravate any of my injuries. Things felt pretty good but the hip did tighten up around mile 5. 

1 hour on the elliptical. Groin hurt too bad to do anything else today. Wasn't really into training anyways. Got through 2.7 PTI shows only fast forwarding through most of the NBA conversations. 

Ran the fields tempo loop extended one block to hit an even 13. But no tempo miles. Actually hit a 7:01 avg but the effort felt much harder. Kind of a frustrating run because I thought I was doing much better than this. Plus I got home and was 153.5 lbs after the run so about 3.5lbs too heavy. Calves were really tight by the end and hip/groin hurt throughout around a 6.
