Workout recap 10/13 – 10/19
I’m happy to say I’ve had my best running week in at least two months. I’ve also started getting back into push-ups and sit-ups on a most mornings. My best effort for push-ups so far was 2 sets of 20 with a break in between for 50 situps.
What $300 orthotics look like
On Friday I picked up my orthotics. I’ll be breaking them in by wearing the orthos for increasing periods of time over the next week while walking and then start phasing in running with them the week after next. It feels weird to have something touching my (high) arches, but the pressure distribution graphs at the PT sure looked a lot better when the orthotics were in.
Mon: 3.25 mile run w/Jon and Mark around Camp Hill
Tue: 3.6 mile run w/Jon and Mark around Camp Hill
Wed: After work got dressed to run and drove to PennDOT to put in a few miles on the greenbelt. After getting out of my car decided I my legs were feeling kind of beaten up so just headed home. I wish I had decided this before driving to PennDOT, but I think not running was the smart move.
Thu: 3.1 mile run w/Jon around Camp Hill
Fri: 1.6 miles on path outside work (2 loops). Forgot HR strap and pushed the pace.
Sat: 6.6 mile long run with Mark at Conewago. I was pretty cold in the beginning but warmed up about 1/2 through.
Sun: Successfuly resisted urge to workout since Sat was my longest run in a while
Weekly total: 18 miles
I’m not sure what this coming week will be like. I’ll be down in Columbia MD Mon-Fri for a training session, and then in Baltimore Fri-Sun for a company meeting. Hopefully I can find a nearby park or trail to get some running in.
