BIKE: 2hrs and 34 miles, indoors. Followed a 5 hard/5 easy, 4 hard/4easy, etc to 1 min layout from the IMWI plan. Did that 2x to get a long workout. Goal of hard was 140-145 in first go-thru, 135-140 in second.
Following up on that nagging feeling that I'm not working hard enough...I throw in this session. Normally I'd be running 2hrs, so instead I biked it.
I don't usually wear the HRM on the bike, and I really should. I really had to work hard on the trainer to get my HR up into the 140's. At one point I punished myself by staring at the Garmin until I'd hit the target HR, no watching a movie and letting the mind wander.
The movie was Backdraft, hadn't seen it in a long time so I recorded it the other day in anticipation of needing a movie. Good idea. I saw some parallels between me and the fire. The start of this year built up steam and heat until I got injured (or as in the movie the fire runs out of air) at which point I sit back and rest a bit until I'm healed and can blow out the gates at full steam. At least I hope that's how it will happen.
Ran into LC and she warned me against testing my ankle in a 1 mile treadmill run. She said it's healing but not strong. She's right. And my ankle proved it later by inversion-ing when I stood on my toes to reach something. Now, hours later, it's tingly and I'm very aware of it. I'm also aware now that I do walk a little on the outside of my feet. I wonder again if I have a tendancy to invert my feet (point my soles inward)?
The ankle was feeling great until then, now it's "uncomfortable" and almost pained when I fully flex it up.
