Run
  • 1h 44m
  • 17.00 kms
  • 06m 07s /KM

Guesstimate on the distance. A bit long for my tasting but there was a little change in plans.
First hour = Z1 and then stopped for 5-10minutes to talk and leave one of the teammates home and then head back to the University.
3 x ( 10 x 15 sec @ 100% r=15sec) R=3 min ez.
Iced knees.

Meeting finished late last night, as in past 11. I don't think a lot of positive things got out of it but at least it's a start. After talking about all sorts of things, something I can do in the near future is to bring more newbies into the club's "core" with leadership and being friendly. When I joined the club 3 years ago, people were meeting for a run or swim and nobody was greeting each other and seemed self-absorbed. Now, it's getting a lot more friendlier and there's a team spirit that is starting to grow since last year. I'll try to work on that and make it grow in collaboration of a few of the other old schmocks.

The future of the club is quite uncertain and we'll lose our coach, again, at the end of the next season.

Guesstimate. Ran with the club. Forgot my HR strap AND to start my watch... Everything was fine. No real pain or discomfort for once. :)

Does a scotch while cooking count as a recovery drink?

Ugh... as planned, I'm a grumpy son of a ...bozo this morning. 4 hours of sleep. Playing hockey that late sucks!

Cramped like crazy towards the end. Ooouuuch! :)

Lots of cleaning in the house. Was supposed to go run with the club today and then swim. But I'll try to be reasonnable and NOT run because since it's been a month I didn't really run, I'm not sure it would be a great idea. Last night's run was fine (included some speedwork, I know I shouldn't have) but 5 minutes towards the end, side of left knee was not good, I was slightly limping. So rest for the sucker. Then, dinner with an old friend that I neglected.
