Old Friends

255. Ran around an old friend--the Back Cove running/walking path--last night with old friend and running buddy Scott. Met old friend Sam afterwards. New friend left achilles tendon are pain was present but manageable. It was a nice run, and a great visit. We've pledged to make it a Wednesday night habit.

Shit! I just ate too much. I'm pissed at myself about it. I must do better. I was making progress.

It's not an excuse, because I got my 31 miles in (11 running, the rest walking) but I got too aggressive with my running early in the week and tweaked my left Achilles tendon, or the area around it. It's still tender and sore. I can walk, though.

I must have a better week this week.

Diversity

256.

My 31 miles this week consisted of 11 miles walking, 5 miles running, 5 miles rowing, 6 miles cross country skiing, and 4 miles snow shoeing. The snow shoeing was a new experience and I liked it--a winter hike through fresh snow up a steep rise. Hard work, beautiful, fun, nice. I need to do more although I guess that's next winter now.

I completed the Tabata course (6 weeks) and it definitely helped my fitness level. I got my push-ups in.

This week will begin training for a Kettlebell competition on May 1. Also, the weekly blend will start to skew towards more running.
