Training Log Archive: runninghils

After a long day of cookie dough making, Barbara and I took a nice run/walk through the badlands with Artimus. We did 3 minutes run/ 3 minutes walk. There was some nice sand for resistance.

Night O race. Wow, I struggled pretty badly in the first half. There were trails that were light and then also blocked off from view because someone was trying to shut them down. And those sections in the North/Open fields. Once I gave up on that and went back to the more woodsy sections, I started ticking off the points again. Ended up 18th overall out of 42 (?) but that's fine since I wasn't running much at all and I lost about 30 minutes where I couldn't figure out where I was. I actually had a time when I had no idea at all where I was because the trails made NO sense. Oh well, good to get out and do this and fun to see all the friends.

Tried to speed walk while talking to Anna on the phone. Not as successful as I would have liked, but I managed to pick it up after we finished talking.

Slow Flow. I actually enjoy this and am getting farther on some of the stretches. Might be my imagination. My hamstrings are a major limiter for me with regard to flexibility. Also, my right shoulder that I hurt, but even that seems to be getting more flexible.

HRV dropped to 63 today from 75. 63 is the lowest I've seen since I started tracking, so I'm choosing today as my rest day (and decorate the tree, paint the bathroom ceiling day.)
