Hit the dreadmill at MAFC today for an easy 6. Actually ran for exactly an hour and got in 6.27. Had a little twinge in the left calf left over from yesterday; didn't feel any worse during the run, but didn't get better either. Might be time to take a day off tomorrow and let it rest. Liza was there and did an hour on the elliptical at a pretty good clip, so no ill effects from her 5K yesterday. Eight straight days now with a total of 56 miles; if the streak doesn't make it to nine, that's OK.
Started working on a training plan for a BQ attempt this morning, either at Top of Utah or Fox Valley. I think I'll do four weeks, see where I stand, and if things are going well, I'll go ahead and enter one of the two. Right now, I'm leaning toward TOU, largely because I think there's a better chance of cool weather there. Plus I can get a cheaper flight to SLC than O'Hare.
Back to work tomorrow after a much-needed nine days off. Oh well. Gotta pay the bills somehow, and it beats digging ditches. |
