May 1st, Monday

Walked on the beach in early afternoon. Then tried to run a little on the cinders in early evening. Could not get going because of sore and heavy  quads. Jogged and stopped to stretch for 1 and a half miles to no avail. Just gave up and went home.  I may have underestimated the draining effect of the long pool workout yesterday or the residual effect of the interval work on Friday. Tomorrow is another day.

Status update;

Maintaining 8 to 9 hours sleep daily which is pretty good.

Experiencing minimal lower leg discomfort upon rising in the morning which is also good.

Weight is staying in the mid 150’s which is a little higher than I would like but not bad.

Base heart rate remained steady at 54 beats per minute. Remarkably consistent.
