Note

Knee same. Swelling has spread across back of right knee, no longer contained in small pocket. No real pain, some light discomfort but probably due to the fluid pressure.

shoes: Adistar Salvations

Struggled through this one. Route particulars: 480 ft. climbing over 35.8 km. Out and back along horse creek road in windy Cochrane. The wind was howling today SW - NE and resulted in an ugly headwind on the return trip. R-hip was tight and majorly sore...like the left hip stinger of the past. No pain down the leg but brutal to run on. Last 3 km had me sit and stretch it and then walk a few steps here and there to relax it. Definitely happy to finish that run. Think that it was due in a large part to the first real ride of year yesterday which tightened my lower back and hips. Feeling better 6 hours later now so hopefully it's just one of those things that pops up for no real reason.

But so begins the first phase of serious ultra training for 2010.

C • First Phase of Serious Ultra Training 1

Cycling 2:50:00 [3]

First time on the bike. Road out to 22 and then back along airport road. Savage headwind out. Felt good though. Tailwind on the return was pure gold though and I was cooking along the flats and gradual uphills. Had a good ride overall and would classify it as a mix of intense with cruisy in between. Dom, MH, Kev, and bikestore were out. S2 and C2 were doing hills elsewhere.

running 35:00 [3]

run from work to edmonton trail bridge and then to 14th st. bridge. Quick one with Geoff. Chilly but nice out.

Cycling 35:00 [3]

tail wind in, mondo header home. Felt okay though.

BLASTING 45:00 [3]

chest, core, calves and working out the soreness in the calves from barefoot and flat running. I think I need to hit the stretching much harder on the calves to get them in to barefoot shape.

Cycling 15:00 [3]

I'm not worthy. Recovering but feeling like a blob. Tomorrow should be a better day though. Now to go cut myself.

Cycling 35:00 [3]

lovely day for riding a bike. Or a horse for that matter. Or super's mom.

C • are you going to log that too? 2
