5k Race - the usual dissappointing fitness level at this race.  Struggled with mile 3, and the strength necessary to blast through curves and small rollers on the Columbus people trail in this section.  4th place in 18:49, and even more dissappointing was being beaten by a middle schooler turning into a slightly faster (and a lot taller since last summer) high schooler.  Kids these days... :)

I ran on the other side of the road up and down Terrace Lake.  1:52:44.  

4p - 5 miles slow and tired.  46:32.  This week's 100 is going to be tough with 23.5 left to go tomorrow.

8:30a - started the run from house, and it immediately started raining harder.  Usually, 55 degrees and raining is not a game changer, but, I find myself a bit more cautious these days with potential cold cuasing circumstances.  Also, I think I was a bit underdressed.  Went back to the house, and set up to run on TM for a while with a Netflix movie (Terminator Salvation) and the fan going.  Settled in for a long slow mileage on TM - was even throwing in walking to avoid hurting the knee.  (The TM hurts the knee if a go too hard on it with or without incline)  1.6 miles outside - 13:40, 5 miles on the TM - 56:20. 

The wife broke in and kindly informed me taht the sun was out.  Hopped off the Dreadmill, and switched back to outside.  Much better, though my legs were now pretty drained. 

10:30a - 13.4 miles out and back to Harrison Lakes.  No rain, but, my knee can tell I have been on our sketchy home treadmill.  Struggled for 10-11 miles, and then finished fairly strong.  1:55:55.  Didn't run into too many people.  Other than the 2 young girls on bikes taht didn't know any better, everybody kept their distance. 

Happy Easter from isolation.  Pretty frustrating to hear about all the people insisting on going to church gatherings.  

Only 3.5 miles to go for making the weekly 100 (Mon-Sun).

Kinda cheating to include TM walking, isn't it? :) lol

They're okay, I guess - better than what I have been doing with 50-60 / week. I'm working toward the goal that these week-ass triples will eventually become one longer/main run with a sorter recovery run

Solid 5mi. Tempo at 5pm: 6:45, 6:13, 6:06, 5:58, 5:50 - Didn't warmup (probably should have) Couldn't get the lead out in mile 1.  A bit windy on the home stretch of the neighborhood loop.  A lot of people out running around - a pair of Asian youngsters with their Dad on bicycle have taken up sinchronized running in our neighborhood - lol - that's fun to watch.   Had another nice Dad and his family cheer me on as I passed by.  Cooled down 2 miles  

So far, so good on getting that magic triple digits in mileage this week.  Most of my circles of friends, family, and other are healthy.

11am Virtual Half Marathon - 1:22:20  on my own with Start and Finish from Mill Race Park.  This virtual race (DeMoor) had something 2000+ entrants, is Colorado based, and folks can clock and record up through tomorrow afternoon.  We'll see if I make the top 100 :)  

Saw a bunch of people out running, walking, biking in this weather and even some familiar faces doing the same thing.  Friendly from a distance :) 

Warmed and cooled down with a lap around Mill Race loop.  WU had 4-5 pickups.  Weather was pretty much perfect today in Indiana - it makes me sad that the Hoosier Half in Bloomington couldn't happen - they have a phenomenal beer garden and after party there in the heart of IU's campus (oh, yeah - and its a fun hilly course)!  

Route today was primarily people trails in a loop around Columbus, with a few irritating street crossings.  Had to play chicken to get across US 31 at Westenedge roughly around mile 10 and similar to cross at SR 46/Washington within mile 1.  Other than that, pretty much smooth sailing.  Went out a bit quicker than I wanted to??  6:10-6:20ish pace felt like it was about right until about 8 miles.  Ofcourse, after that point... it didn't: 

6:11, 09, 10, 18, 18, 17, 14, 17, 20, 26, 20, 23, 6:12 and 0:38 for 0.11   

According to Strava the difference between my Tempo and Threshold pace is 6:17 and 6:18, which is interesting since I averaged that pace for this half marathon.  Overall, this was an okay result - feel like I can definitely go faster and be a lot stronger in later miles.  Still a bit of trouble aerobically, and with the GI, which surely can be aided with a bit better dietary choices (I blame the wife for continuing to buy oreos and chips ahoy - cookies are my weakness :) ) and continued work on a balanced aerobic system.  Need to sprinkle in more maximum effort/pace but shorter bursts to put icing on some of the base layers of that aerobic cake I have been working on.      

Update - Race results came out, and a dude ran 1:03:xx for the win in this virtual race!  Looks like I tied a guy for 33rd place.  A guys ran 2:15:xx in the virtual marathon.

Thanks, Mike. Yeah - this was kind of on short notice, and took the place of a longer MP run. Good point - Maybe with a taper, I would've been much better in last 5k?! :) Onward and upward, now - makes me want to try again with a taper :)

AM Long Run, aka Tour de Lakes.  Visited Tipton Lakes via Terrace Lake, and then on to Harrison Lake, followed by th crown Jewel of Columbus: Grand View Lake.  Wore the hydration pack but used pockets for phone, charger, and some food in the form of Clif Bars, Lara Bars.  Carried a handheld for water.  Long and slow, and some wierd little pains in some wierd spots (achilles, and abs?).  They were fleeting and brief little "stabs" that went away, but, a little surprising.  Guess I haven't really taken the mileage back up to this volume in a while.  Yesterday's harder run probably didn't help with pushing the envelope. 

Stopped to pee a couple times, and overall was pretty chill with stopping to take some pics and brief walking stints.  24.1 miles took me a while - 3:33.  Stayed away from people, and it turned really pleasant when it started to lightly drizzle near the end of the run.  Good day and end to a solid week.  Onward and upward to even better stuff.

3:33 is cruising for a run that long, especially solo. Do you use a run belt for the phone? I too like to take some pictures, so just wondering what you use to hold it.

Thanks, Mike - appreciate the kind words. On anything over 3 hours I wear my Ultimate Direction hydration pack. It is probably my most favorite piece of gear. :) Other times, I just carry my phone in my hand. I'm kind of weird - I have tried belts, and cannot stand them for some reason! :)

Easy 10 miles - out and back to Tipton Lakes.  BEAutiful weather out today - took the top down in the last 4 miles.  HAD TO make a pit stop back in the trees shortly after turning around at mile 5 for a No. 2.  Really saving on TP!  A bit on the fatigued side from mile 8 on, gotta be from this weekend, andthe biggest mileage week in a while.  The Saucony Iso 2's are getting pretty loose and beat up... not even 400 miles.  Kept it slow and easy in the grass as much as possible, and stayed away from all the people out enjoying the weather like me.   

Easy 4 miles around the neighborhood in the evening - 35 minutes mostly in grass. 

Ran this easy 4 miler in the Hoka Clifton 5's with the shoe ripping apart from the sole on the inner part of both shoes.  The shoes have enough mileage on them to not be a tota loss, but, its pretty annoying taht this line of Hoka's fails in this spot on every pair and version of Clifton I have ever had.  I have nearly run the sole off of the One One Infinite's (accurately marketed/named), and took a pair of Arahi's well over 1000 miles also.  Gotta a pair of Arahi 4's coming in the mail right now - excited about getting some cushion and support back on my feet :). 

Then a brief bike lesson with the soon to be 7-year old.  He's getting there - I can let go of him for about 2-3 seconds.  Then we totally caved and ordered some Dominos pizza.  We drove across town and I masked-up and went in and carried out.  Dominos is doing it right - plastic guard shields installed at register interface, and all employees wearing maskes and gloves.

Runch Workout: 8mi. MP + Segment Attempt + Sprints (at the end)

Windy and a bit chilly, and nice hilly course made the splits and efforts a bit uneven.  Attemped a strong 0.57 mile Strava Segment on Goeller path.  Did not even come close!  3:18 was good enough for second place, but, the crown requires a 3:00!  :)  Will try again next week on this one.  Lots of good segments all over the place.  

Recovered from taht, and felt a bit forced to manage 6:30-6:40s.  4x hard sprints at the end were big efforts also.  Left me a bit sore in some strange spots.  Called it on the evening jog to play it safe.

AM before work - 4 miles easy on some sidewalks in the neighborhood.  Cold but sun shining.  Wore my old Hoka Arahi's in anxiou anticipation of the brand new pair allegedely coming in the mail tomorrow!  36 minutes.  Followed with 10 minutes of core and body weight callisentics

Runch - Grandview loop Clockwise - one pee break, and one emergency No. 2 break off in the woods.  Added on Swamill hilliness after the loop to get to 9 miles.  1:17.  Saw a group of 3 gals walking together, a bunch of construction and landscaping guys, and daydreamed about living in a house on the lake.

Just wasn't there today.  The rain wasn't to blame - it felt good, with a temp of 52 degrees.  A bunch of loops on neighborhoos streets, and there was some wind, but, overall, working hard without wind on every one of these.  7.72 miles total - 52:43.

9am Long Run around Tipton Lakes neighborhood again.  Love the neighborhood.  Lots of people out enjoying the neighborhood, also.  Took a lot of additional patience and efforts to distance from all the folks out sahring the outdoors today.  Carried the phone and a handheld water bottle and was aided and accompanied by some good music.  Stopped 3 times to pee in the first 90 minutes.  Also, had some shaky moments with the left knee in the first 2 miles - mild pain and tightness.  18.4 miles total - 2:35.

Waited the rainy coldness out this morning - 40 degrees and rainy/windy until noon.  

Sunny, warm, but very strong wind gusts still at 1pm.

Long Run workout: 10 AT Windy - Struggled with even effort and any sort of pace faster than 6:50ish.  Took a full mile to get the legs loose and the system up and running, and then struggled with mile 2 at 7:00 pace...  Hung around 6:50 - 7:00 but needed some bigger effort for some of those miles.  Not the best of days performance-wise.  jogged about 8-8:30 pace for the rest.  The homemade mix I took along in my handheld was pretty awful... :)    

Parked the car downtown at the Start/Finish line of MillRace Marathon.  Route was part of the Mill Race course and then hopped onto people trails going out over the Lincoln Park Bridge over Hawcreek, and toward the airport.  Definitely one of my favorite parts of the City we live in.  Its a paved 60% shaded path that winds around a golf course, over and along side a couple of creeks, under a major road (used to have to cross through traffic before a cool project was completed), and out toward the lightly used regional airport. 

19 miles total - 2:22:21.  walked around the block to cool down and loosen up before a brief stretch and hopping in the car.  Another good week.  Gotta get on the perhab work to arrest (and reverse?) this knee tightness - probably IT band non-sense again.

Lunch time and the sun is out and weather BEAUtiful.  Pulled the Bicycle off the trainer and rode around the neighborhood outside for the first outdoor bike ride in a long while.  5 miles - 20 minutes.  Pretty enjoyable.

Used that as a warmup hoping to loosen up the knee a bit for the run.  It worked - 10 miles easy pace - about 1:26.  Went out and back through Tipton Lakes again.  Lots of people out, but, again, I avoided close encounters.  Feeling pretty fatigued and legs are tired, but maintained.  Been a while since I've been here in my training.  Its usually a good sign for things to come.  

Ran with the 7 year old teaching him to ride a bike.  He's almost there - just needs to be able to stop and start :)  

COVID count is still climbing in Indiana: 15961 is up by over 1500 confirmed cases since Saturday.  844D is +60 for IN.  Our county is up by 35 confirmed cases.

Did a bunch of yard all day today in the rainy stormy awesome spring weather.  Left the house after 3 pm for a long run AT type workout.  Literally decided the workout during the warmup.  8-10 miles cut down in the Aerobic zone.  Wound up with 8 miles AT Building  - cut it down 10 seconds per mile until the effort became non-aerobic.  7:30 down to 6:20.  Sporadic rain throughout the run kept it fun and cooler.  13 miles total - 1:36:26.

I don't have them. My friend whom I run with swears by them (however he is a Hoka guy). He's at 350 miles and they look solid still. They still have tread on the bottom and no creasing. For $180, that's not selling me, yet.

1pm Dentist trip for the boys.  At 5 and 7 years old, and all the crazy careless people that apparently live in this town, this was an absolute debacle and cluster.  The dentist office was not ready for re-opening, had over booked appointments, and with our appts. at around lunch time, we were there for over 2 hours mostly waiting (in our car in the parking lot) and for the large group of people to sit out in the parking lot without masks not even pretending to social distance to be called in.  My wife actually went in with the boys and told me another horrifying incident from inside - in a pediatric dentist office, a grown man apparently was being seen and was insisting on getting whitening done (which the dentist refused and couldn't do anyway)... while coughing up a storm... GD! 

After finally getting out of there, followed that up with a decent curbside pickup from one restaurant (Smoothie Cafe), but, then a harrasment level experience from the Jimmy Johns employees.  Apparently, those little shits laughed at my wife for wearing a mask, none were wearing masks or gloves to prepare our raw food, and asked here mockingly if she was taking this seriously. 

:(  

Tough to get out the door for the rest of the mileage this evening: 5 miles around the neighborhood - 46 minutes.

Ugh. You should have ordered an extra sandwich and smacked them with it. No, I think they are probably scared but don't know it and are trying to make light of the situation. Not that they should be acting that way.

Every employee in Michigan (the few times I go out) that I have encountered wears gloves and a mask. People still need to understand that you shouldn't shop as you normally would (getting close to people when it is not necessary).

Kudos to you for taking things seriously. It's easy for people to downplay it when they are not in a critical area. I hope you and your family are well.

Long Run: Tipton Stones Ultra - tried to run every cul-de-sac and road in Tipton Lakes and snap a quick picture of the stone headings the neighborhood puts at the head of the sub-sections (there is a bunch :)  Looks like I picked up 17 of them on the Strava post, but missed a couple of roads. 

Wore the hydration pack with full water bottles and a couple of Clif Bars.  The hard shell water bottles (Jurek hydration pack) are pretty harsh on the rib cage when full.  The gatorade electrolyte mix and clif bars were pretty much the perfect fuel, but, the pace was pretty slow today, intentionally.  Plan was to run easy pace for a while, go at least 4 hours and throw faster stuff in at the end.  Pretty cool to get exactly 27 and 4 hours :) 

The weather could not have been much better - a little chilly at first.  Did have to get the gear in place for a couple of miles (like shed 2 layers), settle down after the headphones crapped out, and make a number 2 stop off in the woods, but overall, pretty seemless.  All the turning and stop and go on pavement has the legs pretty sore.

10a run down Terrace Lake and hitting up every cul-de-sac and little neighborhood offshoot along the way.  Carried a handheld (crutch) with gatorade type drink, and somehow had to stop to go number 2 in the woods again... tried to wait it out.  The "running all the roads around" strategy seems like a nice way to break up mileage for me mentally - trying to maintain the high mileage hoping to reproduce previous results with more base.  Right now, struggling with workouts along with the volume.  Sprinkled in some pickups at the end, trying like hell to get some turn over.  16 miles total - 2:18:40.  Beat the weather (rain, T-storm, and very windy later).  Trying to give the mommy's in my life some love today, also.

Went out at lunch and turned back.  Went out for a brief faster bit of track work in the evening: Turned in to 9x200m on the crappy Southside Elementary "replacement track".  They used to have a legitimate oval, but, replaced taht with a baseball field, and left us runners with a rectabgle  with small radius curves around the playground.  Its probably pretty close to accurate 400m, but, hard to tell on the 200m.  Got the turn over and effort I was after, nonetheless.  42,41,39,37,35,33,32,31,29 seconds.  Going all out to get the :29... which is humbling.  :) 

5 miles total - 37:23.  Got some work to do towards the goal weekly mileage to make up for this low mileage day...

Evening run loopping around Tipton neighborhood and Shoreline drive (my favorite).  Decent weather - a little cooler.  7 miles total - 58:55.  Felt a little better after this run and glad I did it.

Long Run with a bunch of change of pace combined with grade change.  Pretty strong run for me and happy with the energy level and strength left at the end of the run.  Attempted the segment again, and missed it pretty bad.  Do have the watch with the segment qued up (starred on Strava) so it tells me start and finish.  It's definitely going down this next week.  Bumped in to Ben in the last half of the run and ran (6ft. away) along side and caught up a bit.  Maybe Monday on the segment...  22 miles total - 2:50:45

Solid day of training + landscaping the last couple of days has been great for the system.  15 miles in the am - easy pace around Tipton LAkes with a handheld full of the Maurten drink mix.  Pretty good stuff - barely noticed the suttle taste in 16 oz. of water. 2:13.  Bumped in to Grant Russo in Tipton.  No. 2 in the woods behind the church on Tipton LAkes Blvd.  

Sweated my ass off in the afternoon heat most of the day land scaping (mulch, bricks, and top soil.) 

7 year old can almost ride the bike all on his own.  ran beside him back and forth for about 0.5 miles

PM Ride and Runoff in the rain.  15 minutes for 4.6 miles on the bike (Around the neighborhood is dicey with all the cars, and then tansitioned in to a runoff of 3 miles in the grass to finish up the 110 run miles for the week (Mon - Sun)

Feelin pretty strong this weekend

Wow!  - Humid and hot at 10:30a  Tried to knock out some of the landscaping before the run.  What a mistake.  13.18 miles around Tipton.  Another emergency No. 2 off in the woods (I' m not telling which woods... sry)  1:55 total running time.  Carried a handheld with a gatorade mix that was not treating me right.  The heat really gets to me.  More landscaping work before doing some Memorial day cooking on the grill and maybe a few cold ones.  

Rain storm blew through almost exactly when the burgers were done and I was sitting down to drink the cold beer under our patio umbrella... lol  

7 Year old's bike lesson - running aided starts and trying to keep up running beside him with a triple cheese burger and a beer in the belly...

AM before work, trying to beat the heat.  Ran over to the elusive segment, warming up along the way with 5 pickups 30-40 seconds.  Humidity already hurting me... Segment time 3:05 - 2nd best effort for me.  I am red lining on this thing and I have no excuse now with my watch telling me the actual finish line, live.  Looks like I have some work to do to improve fitness so I can get this one.  Recovered 5 minutes jogging, and followed up with workout: 12x90 sec. w/ 60 sec. recovery jog.  Generally, around 0.25 miles for each, with up and down hill change.  9.33 miles total - 1:06

Morning run - easy 90 minutes.  10.67 miles out and back around Tipton area.  Decent cooler weather.  Start of runs are slow and tight right now.  left knee is mostly the biggest concern.

Drove across town tothe soccer complex and had a fun pseudo soccer practice with the 7 and 5 year old.  They did great considering they had somehow made over to the field with rain boots on... :)  I ran home from there and had a great experience with testing out the Maurten caffenaitted gel, and the drink mix.  I'm diggin the mild flavor ( or lack there of), and the consistency of the gel. 

Also, had a lot of fun running up the freshly paved new graded road leading up up to the new overpassing bridge in town.  Think I'm the first to record on Strava on this new road alignment?? :)  (Oh, yeah - and used the porta potty at the top of the hill.  Bridge spans have deck pans and has rebar placed.  Looking like we're getting close to deck pour time.  The underpassing (existing) SR 11 roadway portions close down 6/1, and stay closed the next couple weeks.  Its rally helping construction schedules not having as much traffic or events (like the county fair) happening.  11.1 miles - 97 minutes.

Got IT!  Took down the elusive segment this morning.  crushed it by over 3 seconds.  Drove over to the neighborhood, warmed up for 20 minutes with strides and really went for it.  Honestly didn't feel like the hardest I have run it... 3.73 miles total there.  0.57 mi. - 2:57 Pretty decent vertical ascent at the beginnig of the segment/  

Hopped in car and headed on over to Mill Race to start the workout:  5mi. TH, 6x0.5mi.   Tough to hang at the end of the 5miles - feeling some nasty acid reflux coming up the throat, and effort level pretty high.  0.5 mile reps were simialr (strong to start, but, hanging on to finish)  12.51 miles total - 1:26 

No sooner did I get home and log on do I see that a high schooler has gone and taken down another segment that I had the crown on close to the elusive one I just crushed.  LOL.  Now, I'll I have to go back and get taht one again... :)

AM Long Run - big looped course with Grand View loop in the middle: all road, but, solid elevation throughout to work through and build strength.  Marathon distance completed in 3:36, and feeling fresh and fairly strong at the end.  Drank mostly of all of the handheld full of Maurten drink mix, and ate one of the Maurten Caf Gel. 

Most of the course was a pretty cool loop that was set up by a local bike club from Bloomington.  OPE challenge is what they call it.  Saw 5-6 cyclists fly by on the 22 mi. loop - funny that its approximately a 1 hour ride. 

Capped off a weekly mileage PR (Mon. - Sun.) at 132.62 miles, and I think a monthly mileage PR at 506.  Feeling pretty good about that!!  :)

Early Lunch run at 10:30 am.  Weather is not too hot - feeling decent after long one yesterday and big week.  Tipton Lakes loops and messing around.  Intentional relaxed pace, with a stop for emergency number 2.  14 miles - 2 hours

Soccer practice at the fields with Jude and Sawyer.  They are catching on quickly, and Tiff and I are learning how to coach them.  We even finished up witha couple of loops around the field.  Ran home from there slowly - got pretty worn down over the last couple of miles.  SR 11 is now closed and the pavement is gone.  We are in the home stretch of this overpass project.  

10.8 miles - 93 minutes.

Slept horribly last night after overdoing it on some refueling with late night eating and caffenaitted protein mixes and what not.  Stomach pissed off, and wide awake/tossing and turning until about 2am.  

Easy run / power hike on Grandview trail for Early lunch run.  5.33 miles - 64 minutes.  Great weather.  A bit tired, but, doing okay considering no sleep.  

Soccer practice with the boys at a crowded Blackwell Park (soccer complex in Columbus).  We did our usual drills and did our run at the end - 3 laps around the field and a set of sprints.

Ran home from there around 7 pm definitely not feeling too enthusiastic, and still 80 degrees, but, with some lower humidity.  10.18 miles through town and down people trail, Goeller, T Lake.  Felt better as the run went on, and got a few words of "encouragement" from some wiseass teenagers in a doorless jeep on Terrace Lake.  The sidewalk project out in front of our neighborhood is almost done, which is awesome, (and about 10 years overdue) but an absolute mess right now.  There are 3 big construction projects in our area, all of which drastically will improve vehicular nad pedestrian mobility when compete.  Excited to see this season get done, and the construction mess be gone, though.

Gots some very nice looking plants from Lowes and planted those things afterward - I am definitely struggling in this heat.    

Evening drop off at Harrison Lakes and run home.  Had to walk/jog for first mile to loosen up.  6.7 miles - very slow at firs, but, shook it off / out - 6.7 miles in 61 minutes.  It is still pretty hot out there.

Soccer practice with the boys - we are up to 4 laps around their small field as the "finisher", and seeing some improvements in both of them already!  :)

Ran home from there - the long way.  Went around the backside of Blackwell park and back toward town on most of the last part of the Mill Race route.  Really got low in the last couple miles - dehydrated, and tired.  13.48 miles - 1:56

Easy 30 minutes around the neighborhood.  3.16 miles.  Feeling fine after long long run yesterday.  

Foam rolling and some stretching to looen up, and lunch run - lollipop to Tipton Lakes Shorline Drive visit.  Went the Jonathon Ridge alternate (slightly longer) route.  9.08 miles - 1:17

Sidewalk project on CR 200 is wrapping up - contractor is putting down the HMA to fill in in front of curb and gutter and pouring driveways / approaches up to grade.  Pretty warm around that paver and all that hot mix/black oil.  I'm surprised at how good I feel today after a long one yesterday.    

Crack in the windshield on the Highlander - dropped off at Autoglass repair place to replace.  $650  :(    Run home from there - super tired and hot on this run.  Run down State St. and Ppl trail along SR 46 with little cover.  Hat, Sunglasses and neck/ear covering were helpful, amybe.  8.77 miles in 1:19

Lunch Sandwhich: Cycle out to Grandview Lake Trailhead:

a. 6.6 mile ride was a moderate effort for me (the most amateur cyclist ever) 28 minutes

b. Hopped off, chained up bike at TH of the trail and went around for a CCW loop.  The trail is a fantastic trail - lots of vertical change, decently maintained (but not too much...) and marked enough now to stay on course.  Humid like a suana, a few bugs, one turtle, but nobody else out there.  Solid efforts on most of the ups - there's a lot of ups.  Took a spill on a nastly little stump of a root and fell all the way down.  One of those where you lay there for a second... :)   5.52 miles in 64 minutes.  Looks like its 950 ft. vertical

c. Back to the bike as the light rain started.  6.6 mile ride back home in alite drizzle most of the way, but, a much easier time with less climbing, apparently - Didn't understand until I looked back out the ridiculous difference - trip home downhill / trip to the trail uphill.  25:40 rtn trip

That's the high mileage talking, not a sign of your fitness, fyi.

On a Strava note, the uphill segments are tough in general, since they're odd distances.

Good luck Sunday if you go for it!

Solid workout on the road around the neighborhood: 16x0.25 miles at target 5k pace.  Kept it in the zone of what a 5k might be in about a month: 82-85 seconds, with the last one under 80.  10 miles total - 70 minutes

Evening run with 8x20-30 sec. pickups 5.37 miles - 45:03.  Double day was pretty decent.  got down in to lower 5 minute range on pickups.  Running pretty hard.

Solid workout this morning.  Out and back down CR 400 - North to South to North.  Kept the AT miles within the range after got the emergency No. 2 done in the first rep, and then lasted until the last mile of the last rep.  Legitmately looking at about 6:40 pace for AT right now.  Humidity and heat are definite factors for me this time of year in Indiana.  Warm and overcast until the last 30 minutes when the sun came out and made things abit more difficult.  

Carried a handheld with the gatorade electrolyte mix, and ate one of the caffenaitted Maurten gels with very little trouble.

PM:

Ride out to GV on Bicycleslowly, and started pretty comfortable on CW loop around GV. 

Started noticing a saved segment on the watch tracking taht I wasn't too far off from a 3rd place possibility.  Pushed it harder, cutting down as the loop went on and wound up getting the bronze on the loop.  The first 2 places are very solid times, that I won't be touching anytime soon.       47:13 for the 7.05 miles.  Probably could do a bit better with an intentional effort one of these days.

Bike ride home ata decent pace ("decent" for my amatuer cycling skills).  Almost 100 for the Monday - Sunday weekly mileage.

Tri training or just cross training?

From joebell1981 on Sun, Jul 05, 2020 at 19:54:37 from 68.50.58.216

Cross training. Usually does the trick on helping a weak left knee, and gets me a bit more fit for running. Definitely NOT tri :) I barely keep from drowning in water

AM - easy 4.5 miles around neighborhood.  Left knee acting up in the first mile or so, but, loosened up.  Spied on a new listing over in Wildflower neighborhood.  Almost got caught peeking around at backyard by the current residents selling the place.  40:21

Lunch workout: bike out to GV again, since htat was so enjoyable last night.  6.6 miles slowly on the way out - 30 minutes.  Run slowly around the road loop in 62 min., and bike back home 6.6 miles in 25 min.  Tough one getting around the loop in the mid-afternoon humidity.  walking up some hills for catching the breathing and heart rate (this was supposed to be easy peasy)

2 hours easy to moderate - 15 miles.  Already huimid and tough to breath.  

We are selling our house and buying another one simultaneous and it is more than a little disruptive for regularly scheduled training and work schedules.  

PM ride over to REMAX: 3.82 miles - about 15 minutes.  Rode on new roadway alignment from SR 11 to SR 46 Eastbound.  Huge shoulder - good stuff.  hopped off, dropped off, and went for a 4.1 miles around town - 35:40.  Longer route for the ride home: 6.7 mile - 26 minutes.

Bike ride over to a live 5k race across town: 7.86 mile ride down SR 11 nad Central - 31:15. 

About 120 people in the race, but, great organization kept the event safe.  Folks stayed away from each other, and the start was waved and spaced out with cones.  Hopped off the bike and ran some strides to warm up, realizing quickly the humidity level was awful. 

Race started and my wave took off.  With Alphabetical groupings for the waves, I quickly was completely seperate from the already distanced other racers.  Pretty decent result for me, but, a massive effort for a pace I thought would feel a bit more relaxed - Splits: 5:45, 5:47, 5:44, 40 - 17:57.  Out and back course, so a bit easier to gauge things. 

Chatted a bit with friends afterward, which was awesome (my favorite part of racing and running), and then got some much needed assisatnace on maintenance for my bicycle.  Josh really hooked me up with a derailer cable tightening.  a very simple little dial taht he turned fixed the non-functional derailer for me :).  Hopped on and headed for the track at Col North for some more work.  Put in 8x400 at 5k pace to finish off the workout and plan for running for the day.  biked on home the rest of the way going the long way.  fun morning.

7am start for the long long run this morning: headed out and went and visited the new house (we think we have it in the bag) in Tipton Lakes.  Keeping my eyes on the rabbit holes in the yard... (we have an inspector lined up for next weekend).  out and down Goeller to Pppl trail down SR 46, and on out the people trial.  Turned around after an emerg. no. 2 stop in the secluded trees of the little trail with a trail had at Marr (SShhhh!)  Exactly 13 miles at turn around.  Ran past Jane going out and back.  she was strugglinga  bit on the way back.  Lots of people out on trail runnig and biking this morning. 

around 16 miles on people trail by Hawcreek brdige bumped in to some buddies from running and a workmate.  Pretty sweet to run with them for a while on a little lollipop.  filled up handheld twice at Subway, which totally saved me.  I would have been in trouble without those fill ups.  Carried on after seperating from the crew of 3 guys, and finished up a little cooked at 28.7 miles.  Whew!  Laid down fora nap afterward, and crushed a bunch of water and elctrolytes.  Weighed in after shower, and tipped scales at my lowest recorded weight!  - 143.0  28.7 miles - 3:54.

Good training day:

3x2mi. HMP: Stuck in there around 6:00-6:05.  Did it all on the track at Central, so that's kinda cheating, but, hey, oh well.  

Afternoon walk with damfamily'

Evening run - loop around Grandview.  I really love this place.  Serious consideration going on for buying a house in this place... Arbor can suck it :)

Morning TM Workout: 4 mile cutdown.  Got it up in to the 10.7mph - 11 mph range for alittle while.  decent little workout on the NordicTrack.  IFit Workouts are non-sense, but, the leader board is a fun function to motivate me.  30:19.
