That's the weekend cookin.
Don't smell it yet, but with the crazy winds we've been having, all the smells are muddled together.
I have a workout to do at lunch in 25-35 mph winds. That will be something.

Morning. I am traveling back so RD.
Apparently, Miami is too windy for my lungs because our standard days can have 14-15mph and our slightly windy days during Lent and "Winter" are 25+mph. I hate it all. After 14mph I cannot breathe. There is no wind here in SC, fortunately. Just fucking hills after hills. LOL.

Morning! The dog woke me up before I was ready so I'm puttering around with coffee trying to wake my brain up.
First outdoor club practice of the season last night! Paired 800s, 200 jog within a set and 400 jog between sets. Had a good group to work with and had a great workout. I actually got there early enough for a good warmup for once, ran 4 sets plus one extra rep for 9x800 total, mostly around 3:16; first set a touch slower, a couple of later reps a touch faster.
Today I've got 5-7 easy miles on tap.

Good morning!
I rode 41 miles on a nice morning. I could get used to the outdoors. I'm hoping to not be back on the trainer for a few months, but we have some cooler rainy days coming next week. Time will tell.
Have a great day!

Ugh, my night was full of crazy dreams that kept me awake and then I woke up feeling a little sick to my stomach and sore in my stomach muscles..... I didn't think the 10 sets of 1 minute planks last night would have done that....
Didn't help that I was so indecisive about what to do (gym + run, just gym, just run), I ended up going back to bed. They're predicting rain today but hopefully not much so I can try to run later.

Hello!! I had another good swim this morning. 2500 yards. It's just clicked the past couple of weeks. Swimming felt like a slow chore all winter and now I am starting to enjoy it again. I've got an easy run later.
I was looking at my time off bank in the payroll system and noticed I have not taken a day off since New Year's Day. Oof. Typically I do not go three months between PTO days.

My third no running day of the week. Work can go to hell. I left last night at 7pm and got back in at 7am this morning.
Smells like sewer in the 2 mile radius of my work. Lots of construction nearby so maybe from that? Just lovely.
Omg I've had a Gibson electric guitar on loan from my dad and he called and told me he's just straight up giving it to me and I am weeeeping! He wanted to downsize his collection a bit and thought about selling it but then decided I should just keep it. How do I even deserve my sweet lil parents <3 <3
I ran 8.45 with some quarter mile repeats mixed in.
I haven't been doing any much of that whilst base building this winter so today was pretty woeful. But I suppose there is nowhere to go but up from here...or is it down?
Dropped my son off at school and headed to the riverfront, only had time for a 5 mile run. First thing I noticed was that my quad wasn't as achy as it has been, and not even close to Tuesday's run. BUT I noticed around .5 miles the tops of my feet and shins started up with the familiar stiffness and brittle feeling, I was seriously irritated. By mile 1.22 I stopped and redid my shoelaces to where they were tied on the inside of my feet, within 5 minutes of resuming my run I noticed a huge difference and my legs felt loose. Even my quad ache was almost nonexistent, for the first time in weeks I felt like I was actually running and not shuffling along. It was nice.
Anyone try the Brooks Glycerin? They are on sale for $75 at Jack Rabbit
Bad news 😡 but maybe good news😀
2.1 mi flat park path and felt like back of right thigh was swelling from the middle to up high , like a balloon was being pumped up inside of it 😡 so I walked back to my car.
The good new is it’s insanely itching now, itching an inch or more under the skin😀
I had been pretty much sidelined for years with muscle to muscle of the hams and fascia to muscle adhesions over the quads , and only started breaking them down 18 months ago.
When the little adhesion fibers start breaking down they itch 😀
Off to try some downhill road crown repeats... road crown, especially down hill help break the ham adhesion fibers... but not good for my hip or knee, so only a little

7.1 miles done feeling... Weirdly, remarkably good?!? Wtf is this? On track for 78 miles this week if I get in the rest of my planned miles, which would be an official PR though not a rolling-7-day-total PR.
