a new addition...

I ran at WVC this morning. Tom walked, Danny showed a bit late but joined up as did Rick, a new addition, who is retiring in a month and is practicing by using up his vacation ;-).

60 minutes running all told.

In the afternoon I did 22 minutes on the elliptical.

Big Day

Ran an hour over at WVC. Tom was still walking because of bad hamstring problem. Danny showed up about mid run and we jogged the loop and track. Same old stuff but frankly it is nice to viable to run again. The three of us drove up to see Bill Tarr and we all were aligned with our star so to speak. Had a late breakfast afterward. In the early afternoon I dropped in at Shawsu and did 20 minutes on the elliptical. Whoopee. An all time high. I also walked 30 minutes with Lucy.

Moody Run

I ran 65 minutes Sunday. Most of it with Dimitri. We jogged up Moody and cut off and took the trail for a while until we ran into some horses ( it is a horse trail after all ). Nice run. Clear sunny, cool.

Tues & Thurs

Tuesday and Thursday were both big days. Two hours plus of running, walking and elliptical. Up to 18 minutes on the latter. I won't run on Saturday. Planning on driving up to Santa Rosa ( visit my mother ) and return the same day. I always tell myself I'll stop in Golden Gate Park for a run but by that time I've got the bit in my teeth and just want to get home. Next run will be Sunday.

Valentines Relay (that I did not run)

My club ran its annual Valentine's Relay race this morning. I socialized a bit and jogged 52 minutes around campus. Later on in the early afternoon, I walked with Lucy for around a half hour. I had thoughts of heading down to the gym for a elliptical session but decided that rest was the high order bit.

Thursday AM: Ran 55 minutes with 1 minute of walking every ten minutes. PM: 12 minutes on the elliptical. Can feel it in my quads. Whew!

More run-walk

Tuesday: 48 minutes running, 20 minutes walking. Thursday: Ran at WVC this morning with Danny for an hour with five minutes on and one minute walk. Walked to cool down afterward. 70 minutes today. 50 minutes running and 20 walking. Walked another hour with Bob Anderson. We walked over to Tom's for lunch and then walked back to Bob's house. Joined a gym. I am going to supplement my running with elliptical work out 2-3 x a week.

Big Step

Drove over to the club workout and ran and walked for 72 minutes. The club did tennis court loops. The big step forward was running 17 and half minutes continually while warming up with Wally and crew. Afteer than I ran and walked. Mostly running but I still threw in recovery walks.

I guess I am back up

I had a monster "old man" runner day on Thursday. I went over to West Valley and ran and walked for 70 minutes with 56 of it resembling running. Yes, 200 meters running followed by 50 meters of walking. Tom was my running buddy again because we are both rehabbing from injuries. At lunch Bob Anderson and I walked to Burger Town from his house, ate and walked back. Another hour. Add in a short Lucy walk and I totaled 56 minutes running nd 85 minutes of walking for the day. Over (((ten))) frigging miles. This is the new long day.
