Still stiff from the 28 mile hike on Saturday. On Sunday walked for an hour and half at the local botanical garden and was pretty stiff.
Ran an hour at 5mph and did another 1.34 miles in warmup and cooldown. My legs feel a lot better after the run. Strange but good. I think I will go a little faster tomorrow, maybe 6 mph.
1 hr 20 minutes total. |

Ran at an average of 6mph for 1 hr. Warmed up and cooled down for 30 minutes, did 2.01 miles.
Legs were still tight but after the workout they feel better. Surprised again. I will try to go a little bit more faster tomorrow, maybe 6.2 mph. |

No morning run today. Weight has gone done by a few pounds.
Was hard running today. I probably should take a rest day.
Ran 6 sets of 1 mile each in 9 minutes (6.7mph), total time 54 minutes.
Warmed up for 7 minutes and walked 3 minutes between each set of run, finished by cooling off for 14 minutes (total 32 minutes, 2 miles)
Counting this as threshold miles since it was really hard going today for me. Most of this week has been pretty hard for me to recover from the long 28 mile, 12.5 hr hike on saturday. I think I got a tick from that hike. Darn, hope I don't get infected. Anyways, next saturday is the 100 km (62.2miles) hike. I should probably take it easy from today till then. Maybe a long run this saturday isn't the best idea. |

Workout the last 2 days was hard. Weight increased a bit but still below 155 which is good. I plan to take it easy today and do a long run Saturday morning. Hopefully get a good night sleep too. Have to watch out all next week to not go too hard and then not be able to do the 100K :) Yes, thats all I can think about for the next few days. |

Carb loaded last night planning to run 20 trail miles but couldn't sleep for some reason. Also legs were feeling tired.
Might do a little bit on the treadmill tonight. Got some Crocs for the trail run. Have heard a few people claim they are wonderful. Will post a report when I actually do a trail run. I might try them on the treadmill tonight. |
