Weekly review 

12 weeks

Good recovery week. Overdid it Friday with too much elevation gain. Then did a hard but shorter than normal bike ride Saturday so quads are sore. Didn't do as much core as I wanted. 
 

Back to more miles next week. 

82 days

AM.  My legs were still sluggish and a bit sore from Friday's run this morning so I kept it nice and easy and as I went along my legs seemed to feel better and better. 8 miles.

PM. 2 miles playing soccer and I didn't even injure myself this time!!!

81 days 

Lunch. My last patient of the morning canceled so I had extra time and did a 3 mile walk. 
 

PM. I ran the Monolith Garden Loope or at least attempted to. About 3 miles in my hammy started giving me grief. I tried to run more but it wouldn't let me so I walked back for a total of 6 miles. I'm frustrated with it. I guess i didn't escape soccer last night without aggravating it. I'm just going to have to stop playing soccer if I want to be healthy for running. 😡

80 days

AM. It's frustrating that I keep injuring my left hammy playing soccer and now I can't run.  I have come to grips with it though and am going to stay on the bike for a few days.  I did my OP core work this morning then rode to bike trainer for 20 minutes.  

79 days

AM. OP core workout. Then rode my bike to work. Work is only 3 miles from my home but I took a ride on the way and ended up doing 21 miles. 

PM. Since I rode to work I had to ride home as well. I took the 5 mile route on the way home. 
 

I really enjoyed riding to and from work today. I'll have to do that more often. With my hammy still sore, I'm going to do a long ride tomorrow instead of a long run. 

78 days

OP core workout. Then a 5 hours ride on a picture perfect morning. I made it 81 miles with almost 5000 ft elevation gain. 

77 days 

I had a lot going on this morning so wasn't able to get out for a run until about 2:30 this afternoon. My legs were tired but not sore from my ride yesterday. I decided to make it a run/hike desert adventure. I did a lot of climbing and hiking on non-runnable trails which was fine since it was a sunny warm afternoon and I didn't feel like just running. I ended up doing a 3 1/2 hour adventure that was almost 16 miles and had about 2400 ft elevation gain. I drank all 120 ounces of electrolyte fluid I had and was still parched when I got home.
