Achilles is feeling ok so I can keep on adding the miles to my long run?
or
I can play it safe and taper??
Sept. 12!!
Last Week-
- Sunday – I started the day at the gym, did some errands and then met Jenny (the energizer bunny) for a walk.
Normally, Sunday is our day on the boat but we thought that it was going to rain today so the hubby & I went last Friday.
Instead, I was able to visit a nearby sculpture garden (that I had just learned about on FB) with a running friend …
many more pics on FB.
Eventually, the builder is going to open up the castle as a museum for his paintings.
It was near where we went on our trail walk last Thursday so we met other friends there for a drink & pizza.
soo good!
Finally, I was able to visit a tennis friend whose son and grandson were in town…
Ben is a former marathon runner so we had a lot to talk about
- Monday – WFH so I was able to squeeze in an early morning run…
much cooler and I explored a new route…
- Tuesday – Another WFH day but I had a Dr’s appt so I had to wait until lunch to run… Big mistake (so sunny and humid!!)
tried to escape the heat but nope, I had to quit early…
After work I had PT appt #7 and he added some new exercises.
- Wednesday – My live teaching assignment for the next two days got cancelled… but instead I had to sub and do an all day remote class.
No time for the gym, walking or running…
After work, I had my monthly tennis dinner scheduled… Since I no longer play tennis, I look forward to these gatherings…
yes, that’s a hard cider flight… all were delish.
- Thursday – Unexpectedly WFH again… so I planned to join Jenny for an early morning run. She wanted 5 am … Nope, I slept longer and ran solo.
detour to the horses and a long hill…
In the evening, I want to participate in the weekly trail run/walk. But it was pouring and we all agreed to DNS.
- Friday – Another PT appt before work, a walk at lunch time w/Jenny…
almost 6 miles! Almost late for my afternoon meeting
and finally mah jongg in the evening.
- Saturday – Long Run and Brunch. Could I run 11 miles? Would I have company?
Nope on the company. Everyone seemed to be away or busy. So I chose a location that I’ve always enjoyed but haven’t run on much since the Pandemic… It has a lot of variety and a great post run place to brunch.
Yes, I got 11 miles done!
dirt paths, shady and flat = perfect for a solo long run
Again on the drive home, my right achilles was painful but s soon as I got home, the pain disappeared!?
- Sunday – Most likely just the gym and boating (weather permitting)… rain is, however, in the forecast.
