nice to see you're still at it. i'm fighting the same battle for consistency, which is what brings me around. i haven't found the good vibes from strava yet, and i'm way too distanced from any sort of running community at this point. ah, well. small steps.

hope you're well. happy new year.

Achilles strain still bugging me after a few days off. Starting back at ground zero to hopefully rehabilitate it.  20 minutes easy. Didn't feel horrible.  3x 15 eccentric calf raises.   Two dance/strength videos.  Time to get going on core/strength stuff again

Cole needed a running buddy today, so I ended up going longer than planned.  It was a touch hard on my Achilles, but it seemed to hold up. 3 x15 eccentric calf raises.  2 x 45 seconds step ups/walking lunges/tricep dips/push-ups.

Four days in a row?  Watch out now!  Solo run. 40 degrees felt nice.  I told a friend that I would pace him to a sub-20 minute 5k at the end of June.  So, I had better get somewhat fit.

Easy run with Cole.  He's doing a two mile time trial tomorrow.  
 I was planning on a 10-12 miler tomorrow.  However, I am getting my second COVID shot today, so it's dependent on how my body reacts.  But, 5 straight days of running is a decent start for the month.

7.400.000.000.000.007.40

I was so sick from the Moderna shot on Saturday, which I expected.  So, no run.  Six with Cole today.  He ran a 10:31 two mile time trial with his dad on Saturday.  That is a nine second PR.  I think he has 10:20 or better in him.  He was running in a pretty fierce wind and had a nasty cold.  It's fun to see him improve.  We have slowly built his training up.  He's only doing 40 a week.  A tempo, a speed, and an 8 mile long run.  He hits high school next year.  I can't wait to see how he does.

That's fast! How old is this kid? My fastest mile was 4:59 and it took me 'til my senior year in high school to crack the 5 barrier.

Cole just turned 14. He is in the eighth grade. He is very fast. He has also run a 10:31 3200.

Fall break means a later morning run.  I threw down four tempo miles.  I think a little fitness is coming back with a bit more consistency. But, these next two weeks are going to be exhausting with long rehearsal nights, opening next week, and two show day next Saturday.  After that things mellow a bit. And, after we close Addams Family, I am taking a Theatre break until after Christmas when I start rehearsals for a dinner theater show.

Thinking about my running goals for 2022.  I haven't raced in a really long time, which is fine. I love doing other things with my time.  But, I really didn't run very much in 2021. I feel better physically when I am working harder.  I would like to pick up the mileage and intensity a bit next year.
