RUN 4.2 miles in ~1 mile increments with a short rest between, total 5.4 miles
STRENGTH 20 mins of chest, back, arms (20x 1 min exercises)
COMMUTE 7 miles
I looked at the definition of "Unproductive" and instead of meaning just being lazy or junk miling, it can also mean doing way too much? But isn't that Overreaching? Whatevers. Tuesday's run and today's run were pretty similar in pace (about 5.0 mph today) and time and distance. The difference was that I wore the chest HRM today and got ave HR of 124. On Tuesday the run was the wrist HRM.
So I deem the wrist HRM to be the Unproductive partner in this. Not me.
The run felt great, but a few niggles. The whole left hammie/hip niggle is gone, it came on after a leg strength training session about a month ago and haven't seen it since. But now that mild discomfort at what I would call the place were the plantar tendon attaches to the calcaneal bone. That's just my best way to explain it, that might not be the right thing. Now this isn't new. This hurt earlier this spring the same way - a mild pain now and then - and I feared PF or a stress fracture or a bone spur. I thought the surgery recovery would take care of it. But it's still there, I wouldn't say it bothers me or anything, until it does what it did today.
Around the end of the 1st mile, it pinged enough that I thought I should walk! I kept it slow, waited, it went away. Now hours later, sitting here, it's fine. Last night going to bed, I was aware of it. And that's where it stands right now. Classic Niggle.
No other niggles, no other issues. Unless I want to count the fact that the bottoms of my feet hurt lately, and walking barefoot is distinctly uncomfortable.
Strength session was great! I'm feeling yesterday's core workout this afternoon, and given the shaky feelings I had in today's session I might feel that tomorrow too. I didn't push heavy weights, it was more the repetitive 3-4 minutes of similar exercises that accumulated fatigue.
As for my feet hurting, I'm doing something like 17-20K steps a day, between elliptical or running and walking through the day. I've been talking a long lunch walk a lot lately. So keep an eye on this! And do I need new shoes for cushioning? My feet don't hurt during the run though. I looked yesterday at Brooks Adrenline 21's and learned that the 22's are coming out "soon". So the 21's might be discounted if I'm patient.
