Notes
Walk-jogged on outdoor track, 29 laps in lane 4 (423 m /lap) in 59:45. Very beautiful sunny day today, and I felt pretty good. Love being outdoors in this sunny fall weather. Temp was about 65-70. First 14 laps non-stop! Passed 5k at or just over 23 minutes. The rest was 400m and 500m jogs with 100m walk intervals. Seems like my pace at 400+100m might actually be a bit slower than my 300+100m pace? I clearly run 300m repeats faster at sub-6.
Walked to work again today. Walking seems to be helping my left hamstring pains, plus spending more time outdoors at home and less time sitting in general. My arms have been regularly "trashed" lately from doing yard word and repairs at home. this past Saturday I dug the big tree root out of the driveway and patched the asphalt, doing all the breaking, digging, chopping and tamping by hand. Took about 8 hours, including trips to the hardware store and fixing the big gap between the asphalt and concrete.
Rachel just got home last night at midnight from her conference in D.C. - she's leaving again this coming weekend for another conference in Wenatchee.
Portland Marathon was yesterday; John David ran his first, in 3:50, at age 36. Deb walked her 45(?) half marathon.
