11 weeks

Weekly review 

The week ended up being very different than I thought it would be. Monday night I injured my hammy again playing soccer so I ended up cycling a lot this week. I rode 106 miles plus did the bike trainer once. I did get in 35 miles running also. I thought I'd get around 50. Maybe this upcoming week I'll get over 50. I tried to refocus on my core work as well but only did it 3 days. I really want to do it 6 days a week but something always comes up. 

75 days

AM. 10 easy miles through SARA Park. It's starting to warm up. I'm going to have to start taking water with me even on my early morning runs. Legs felt really good today!!!!

PM. OP core workout while watching college bball. 

74 days

Lunch. About a 1 1/2 mile walk. It was insanely windy. 
 

PM. 8 mile run on Monolith Garden Loop. It was still windy but not as bad as lunchtime. 

I did my OP core work while watching the BYU/Gonzaga game.  The Cougs gave them their best shot, but the Zags are just really, really good this year.

73 days

AM. I did my OP core work then rode to work this morning. 20 miles.

PM. 5 mile ride home then sat in the hot tub for a while after dinner. 

72 days

AM. I woke up with plans to do a 6 mile run followed by 2 miles of 200 m sprints.  I took the run easy and was feeling good but on the last couple miles, my right calf started feeling off so I decided not to do the sprints at the end.  Now my right calf definitely feels mildly strained.  I wish I knew why these calf issues keep popping up suddenly.  I didn't even run yesterday. Anyways, I'll monitor it and see how it feels tonight and tomorrow morning before I decided what to do tomorrow for my long effort.  Maybe I'll have to bike.

PM.

I wasn't sure what I was going to do when I got up today so I started with my OP core workout and then checked the weather. It looked beautiful outside and I had the whole day with nothing planned so I decided to do a BRICK workout. I haven't done one of those in years since I did my last triathlon. I first rode 50 miles pushing hard then had the world's longest transition, probably 30+ minutes, then headed out on the trails and did a 20 mile run. I was surprised how good I felt all the way to the end and whatever was up with my calf yesterday didn't bother me at all today.
