66 minutes on the cybex elliptical (arc trainer) at the gym. I will log it as 6 miles.

 


Felt good to do something but I'm still sore, particularly in my left calf.  It seems I have a muscle imbalance that I need to correct where my right calf is stronger (and bigger) than my left, which I suspect is from years of compensating for an injury to my right big toe.

10 very easy, 8:30 pace.  Last mile only added some variable incline.

After showering, I realized I had packed two right shoes.  Amazing how careless I can be in packing for the gym.

I'm happy to report that my second cousin, JohnyV has joined the blog.  He hasn't yet posted a picture, so to help you get to know him, I've taken the liberty of posting his photo taken from last year's family reunion.  Please help welcome him to the blog.


p.m. 10 very easy.

Current profile pic in upper left is Ogden around mile 8, I believe, showing me (with the dorky visor tilted to keep the sun out of my eyes), MattK, and Allie just behind before she blew out her knee.  (Other two women are 1st and 3rd place finishers.)

1.5 at 8:00.

One hour FIT class.  Class kicked my trash, but I'm feeling the force.

 

4.25 at 8:00, last .25 at 5:20 -2% decline.
