3.3 mile arrowhead loop
Ran the whole thing (1st time)
640 cal run.....
I ran the whole 3.3 miles tonight for the first time. This is the longest continuous run I have done since I started in January. It shows how much I have neglected on the run that in 9 months, I have only worked up to 3.3 miles. I am going to continue to focus on the run until PF Changs and then work on my OWS a lot after that. My bike miles will probably stay the same except I will be lengthening my long ride to at least 70 miles by early March. I am slower running the 3.3 miles when I run continuously but I kept my HR right at 150 and that's where I wanted it to be tonight. I just need to keep doing it to get better. My run training in the last 9 months has been inadequate to get better.

3 mile loop

Happy Valley to 99th ave
and back w/ 3 mile loop
1443 cal bike.....
Did my usual bike but at rush hour. There was a ton of traffic on Happy Valley and it was super slow crossing over onto the Westbound side. My speed was average but I wasn't trying to kill it. I was just getting some road mileage in. It was 95 when I left and 90 when I got home but it didn't feel super hot. I brought my garmin but forgot to start it. I noticed that at about mile 23. Oh well, I had my bike computer and previous trips of the same route.

617 cal run.....435 cal bike....1052 cal total.
Miki and I went for a run tonight around the neighborhood. The pace was a little bit slower than last night but I was fine with that. I wanted to keep my HR under 150 and it was 145-149 for most of the run. Walked less tonight than last night. Need to get some intervals in sometime this week.
Bike was fine after my run but I was bored. I have watched Wedding Crashers about a thousand times now. Need something new to watch.

3.25 mile arrowhead loop
Run/Walk
616 cal run....
My legs still feel week on the road runs. I have lost a lot of my outside run fitness over the summer. The treadmill just isn't the same as the open road. I did stop and walk about 6 times tonight which I need to cut that down. I just wanted to get back out there and get some miles in so I'm not going to beat myself up too much about it now. I probably took in too much water also and felt a little sloshy toward the end. My toe and foot are still a bit sore during the day but I haven't had an issue with them on any of my runs so far. I just need to stretch really well and ice and heat afterwords. I would say good effort tonight. Mental toughness has to get better though.

Treadmill
5.5 mph + walk
A lot more run and less walk today
597 cal run.....
My left big toe has been giving me turf toe symptoms and my right heal and mid foot have been sore the last few days. I was debating on working out on them and decided to today. My feet actually felt fine during my hour run. My legs were a bit weak for about the first mile but then I got into a nice rhythm. Can't wait for it to cool down so I can get out and run during the day. I'm going to try a long bike tomorrow (40 miles) and a 30-45 min swim.

Long day going to Yuma and back. My rt foot was sore most of the trip. I'm really hoping that this isn't going to become a pain in the ass injury.

Modified arrowhead loop

Random Hill 5-20

Avg Watts 122
Went to LA Fitness tonight but the A/C was out. I saw that they were changing out units today and they had 3 huge A/C units going on the roof. Wasn't that hot in there though. It was after 11pm so I knew I was only going to get in about 50 min. The bike actually was very good. Had strong legs tonight and averaged 122 watts. On the way home I felt good so I thought I would do a brick. I didn't want to go too far so I just did a little over a mile and a half. Legs felt good to begin with but quickly got tired. I think my legs are in shock from all this running. I'm going to take a little time off of running over the next few days to rest then for the 5K.
