My most recent run was over a week ago?, and afterward I felt like I'd run too hard for too long for my recovery -- had lots of weird knee issues afterward, though not as bad as the full-on gout or post-gout tendinitis. I then had to do a lot of physical labor getting the house ready for our party, including more stairs than I wanted, so other ( Read more... )

OK, feeling over whatever had been dragging me down for the past week, so on my lunch break I ran/walked about 2.1 miles at a 4:1 ratio. It felt fine. But I'm forcing myself to take it easy this month and SLOWLY return to my regular 3.3 miles at a 10:1 ratio. I'll aim to run again on Friday or Saturday, just two runs per week while I monitor the ( Read more... )

Did the 1.9 mile trek at 3:1 run:walk and felt fine, felt like I could've run a bit farther, so if my knee is still OK on Friday I'll try adding another 1/4 mile and maybe go up to 4:1 ( Read more... )

Running for two minutes in a row is suddenly challenging. And my knee reminded me that it had been recently injured, though I still think it is fine. I'm just out of shape for running after taking more than a month off.

I'll repeat this morning's run on Monday.

Took my lunch break at 11am and couldn't stick with my previously planned 1:3 run:walk ratio, that felt too slow! Instead after warming up by walking for 3 minutes, I began a 1:1 run:walk ratio. I followed this cycle 9 times, then I cooled down by walking for 5 minutes. Traveled about 1.6 miles in 26 minutes. Slow Bug ( Read more... )

OK, now that the Maids/Trash Day drama deadlines of 7am (Trash) and 8am (Maids) are past, I will go on a walk before teleworking, and if the Maids finish early enough I'll lift weights during an all-hands Teams call this afternoon ( Read more... )

I ran 4 miles in the cool morning air! I want 4 miles to be my new maintenance distance, at least until next summer. Should be able to do 5 miles on Saturday ( Read more... )

Although my arm feels like a childhood bully has been punching it all night -- from my 6th COVID shot -- I'm not feeling any macro symptoms from the shot, so I think I'll try running this morning. But the "summer" humidity has returned with dew points in the 70s, and it is raining, so I'll be running in this humid rain. I've run during a tropical ( Read more... )

Thursday lunch break ( Read more... )

I needed an extra walk break, but I completed the entire 3-mile loop.

We should be a bit less warm and a bit less humid after this storm moves through. And the days are getting shorter.

I'm tempted to schedule my next run for Saturday morning to keep up the momentum, but that would mean a no-intoxication Friday night ... we'll see ...
