Good stats.

A little twist
September 5th, Tuesday
I tried to upload Chubby Checker but it wouldn’t play. But you know the words! TWIST
I set out on a bike ride late today and halfway through I decided to add a little twist. Because I am experiencing repeated soreness in both my Achilles tendon and plantar fascia after each time I try to run a couple of miles,I decided to try a new strategy. I will run less strides but with a little more intensity. So I stopped in the middle of my bike ride and did 50 x high knees wow balancing on each foot and two 100 stride straightaways. This got me as winded as I have been in quite some time. It makes me question my fitness. But I hopped back on my bike and finished the half an hour ride. All in all I would call it a fairly demanding 30 minutes. And I like the new twist. I will see how my feet respond to this new stress

60 minute man
September 3, Sunday
Spent a full hour at solid work in the fitness center tonight followed by 20 minutes in the hot whirlpool. (20 minutes on bike, 12 minute mile on treadmill, 10 minutes on elliptical, 20 minutes upper body weights)
Pleasantly tired, ready for bed!
Stats holding steady.
30 minutes in motion
September 2nd, Saturday
During an early morning cross country practice at Ocean County Park our top guys got in excess of 10 miles and I did 30 minutes in motion mostly running and some walking. The guys also finished up with eight times 120m strides working on good form. We are definitely ahead of last year but still have a long way to go to be competitive.
Stats- I-Mad AND I-MID STILL 3/4
Everything else = no change
But done!

A late afternoon return to the road…….
With a touch of autumn in the air it felt good to run 3 miles on the road in Jackson. My feet in the new Orthotics, slightly adjusted by Dr. Faith this morning, are tolerable. Not perfect, hopefully I will get adjusted. It seems that my aerobic fitness level is not bad despite what I consider a lost summer of training.
