Week of 2018-07-29 - 2018-08-04: Starting to track again, hills, and speed
Starting with August, I'm starting to plan my workouts ahead again, as well as tracking the results. Since that falls mid-week, here we go:
Plan:
Sunday: Hike Mt. Monadnock
Monday: Recovery walk/run, minimum 30 min
Tuesday: Speed workout. Goal is 4x400 on 6 minute mile pace. See how that goes and adjust.
Wednesday: Run 4-5 miles
Thursday: Run 3-4 miles
Friday: Run 6 miles
Saturday: Light run/recovery
Logs:
Sunday, 7/29
Did not get enough sleep the prior night, so I did not get up at 2:30am to meet my mom's carpool group. Decided to meet them up there later. I got on the mountain at 8:40am, and did a blistering summit in 67 minutes (including ~3 minute breaks at 30 minutes and 60 minutes respectively). Met up with my mom's group at the top, and had a relaxing descent. Temperature was ~75 degrees on the mountain; the summit was cold with wind. Gorgeous weather.
Monday, 7/30
Forgot my Garmin tracker. Good thing it's not August yet! Jogged ~3.4 miles up the Minuteman bike path. Relaxing day. Iced my right knee pre-emptively; I have a bruise from something that is bothering me a bit.
Tuesday, 7/31
Found out I have a track approximately 1k from me! Jogged to the track as a warmup, then did 4x400 meters on 1:30 with 1:30 break in between. My last break interval was 1:47, but otherwise not bad. I didn't get enough sleep last night (reading a book) and slept in, so it was 10:00am before I got out the door and hot/sunny. Called it a day because of my last recovery interval and I was starting to feel nauseous toward the end of the last run interval. Tried to jog a bit but mostly walked home, ate breakfast, then got another 3 hours of sleep.
Wednesday, 8/1
Ran 5 miles on Minuteman bike path. Felt pretty good. Time 57:32, avg pace 11:26 min/mile. Got back ~8:45, temp was 73 degrees feels like 81 due to 80% humidity. My left knee twinged once but subsided; right ankle twinged once then subsided. Will probably treat tomorrow as an active recovery day.
Thursday, 8/2
Ran 3.4 miles on Minuteman bike path. Felt pretty good. Time 35:36, pace 10:29 min/mile. Hot out. Right knee still bothering me a bit, still have bruise on knee cap.
Went contra dancing in the evening, approximately 2hr15min. Feeling pretty beat afterward. Floor was mildly sticky so my knees weren't happy, but didn't really hurt.
Friday, 8/3
Took the day off from the morning workout. Body still felt completely beat. Walked ~2 miles to CVS and the library in the afternoon, stayed more or less low-activity active all day. Felt like my left achilles was catching as I walked home from hanging out with friends; going to continue to take it easy.
Saturday, 8/4
Body is still asking for a rest day, so I walked today. 2.7 miles, 51 minutes. Two 4'mile bike rides planned for this evening.
Plan:
Sunday: Hike Mt. Monadnock
Monday: Recovery walk/run, minimum 30 min
Tuesday: Speed workout. Goal is 4x400 on 6 minute mile pace. See how that goes and adjust.
Wednesday: Run 4-5 miles

Intro
Current goals: Get back to where I can run freely, uninjured.
Long term goals: Get back to where I can race an olympic distance triathlon
Stretch goal: Half iron man, iron man.
History: I've had very tight calves for a long time, so I took some time off to see if that would help. It didn't, kept pulling them, so now I've restarted
April: Walked every morning for min 30 minutes. No tracking.
May: Run 1 day, walk at least 1 day. Depending on how I feel. No tracking.
June: Ran 2 days, walk at least 1 day. Depending on how I feel. No tracking.
July: Run however many days I feel like, walk when I need to. No tracking.
In August, I am going to start to track my mileage again. My goal is to add back in 1 hill workout per week and 1 speed or fartlek workout per week.
Once I get back into planning my workouts, I will update here at the beginning of the week, then post [hopefully daily] for accountability. In the meantime I'll post what I expect my week to look like, even though the only requirement is that I get out and exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes.
Monday 7/23: Run, slightly longer
Tuesday 7/24: Run shorter or walk
Wednesday 7/25: Run medium
Thursday 7/26: Run
Friday 7/27: Run
