40 minutes in motion on the Manasquan Reservoir

This morning I jogged and walked for 40 minutes with the cross country team at the Manasquan Reservoir. My heel did not hurt at all once I got started. It is a very, very nice feeling to be out running on the trails again. I’m not going very fast but I am logging foot strikes which I need to rebuild my leg strength for the Senior Olympics on September 8th. I also added a few 100 meter easy strides after I was completely lose. That felt good too.

Stats –

Sleep = 7 hours

Diet = 7

Weight = #157.  Not  Good!  Lack of running– Swimming and biking does not keep the weight down the way running does. Beer doesn’t help either 🙂

a.m. HR = 54bpm

I-Mad = 0

I-Mhd = 4.  Improvement!

August 17th, Friday

Got to the empty pool at 7p.m. last night. There was a small party on the outside patio of the clubhouse: so I felt a little like the entertainment as I did my workout. That consisted of 20 minutes of swimming with a few accelerations and 15 minutes of running with several bursts of 50 stride accelerations.   I added a few back strokes and under water gymnastics for the crowd. LOL

Still working aggressively on heel issues.

Stats- steady
