1/31/11 - 2/5/11 Week 10

Friday 2/4 - Went to CT to surprise Mom for Bday. Got a 25 minute run around BWI because I didn't want to run before I left and get stuck in traffic. Hamstring really bothered me in the airport and on the flight. I'm starting to fear that it is not possible for me to ever get in good racing shape again.
25 minutes (3.25 miles)
AST - 170.5 miles

Thursday 2/3 - Day off. No time during the day to workout anyway because of a special assembly.

Wednesday 2/2 - Ran on treadmill, again.
30 minutes (~4 miles)
AST - 167.25 miles


Tuesday 2/1 - Ran on treadmill.
30 minutes (~4 miles)
AST - 163.25 miles


Monday 1/31 - Good workout on elliptical. 38 minutes. HR was in 160s and 170s for most of it. Felt good. Balled later in the evening. Some ringers came around. They were really good. I was really bad.

1/24/11 - 1/30/11 Week 9

Sunday 1/30 - Ran in Richmond with Molz at Pony Pasture. It was nice to be back in Richmond. Warm out, no snow on the ground, and the smell of Spring far off in the air. Left left still a bit sore from the severe Graston beating I took the day earlier, but the right hammy (the problem one) was feeling great. The bruises are the most heinous things ever. They are dark purple monsters under my butt on my upper hamstrings. I might just take a picture and put them on this blog...
32:20 (4.5 miles)

AST - 159.25 miles

Saturday 1/29 - Ran in Richmond today on campus and around the neighborhoods (Westham, Roslyn) I used to run in. Went out after receiving some pretty intense Graston from my former college trainer. Hurt like a bitch, but immediately relief. Left one was sore after getting beaten up so bad, but the grabbing within the hamstring was gone. Good to be in Richmond....
34:20 (~4.75 miles)

AST - 154.75 miles

Friday 1/28 - Went on the elliptical for 30 minutes. Heart rate was mostly 150-165. Also, did five minute abs of three 1 minute straight planks and two 30 second left and two 30 second right planks, all without touching ground. Feels good to work out everyday.

Thursday 1/27 - No school from a storm that crippled DC, but came in to run on treadmill anyway. Cars were abandoned on the street even though it was in the upper 30's outside. Lost power at home. DC is a mess.
34:00 (4.75 miles)
AST - 151 miles

Wednesday 1/26 - No school because of icy conditions in morning and impending snow storm. Went to school anyway and got a run in on the treadmill. Also, shot 200 free throws and worked on my J. We are working on this basketball thing.... Did abs, too.
30:00 (~ 4 miles)
AST - 146.25 miles


Tuesday 1/25 - Rt achilles bothering a bit, so I ran on treadmill. Beautiful outside, but didn't want hills. Felt pretty decent. There was some manly posturing going on, so I had to pick it up a bit and go longer than the lax coach next to me. I may be out of shape, but I need to keep up this facade that I was actually once fast ... haha, comparatively at least... I hope...
32:00 (4.5 miles)
AST - 142.25 miles


Monday 1/24 - 30 minutes on Elliptical (HR 150-160) and abs. Felt OK, did it for the RT achilles. Played some bball and blocked a 6'5 guy. It was pretty awesome. I also had the game winning finger roll off of a nice penetration. Outside of that, I suck at basketball. Need to spend some time in the gym working on the J.

1/3/11 - 1/9/11 Week 6

Sunday 1/9/11 - Felt awesome. Made it two miles out much faster than normal without more effort. Hamstring still "tired" feeling at end, though. Went about quarter mile back toward Georgetown after hitting Foxhall/Canal. Core B.
30 minutes (4.5 miles)
AST - 109.5 miles


Saturday 1/8/11 - Off. Planned to run but something came up and I couldn't get it in.


Friday 1/7/11 - Off


Thursday, 1/6/11 - Got Graston done on the hammy by a chiropractor. No dice. He was pretty bad. Maybe I'm spoiled because I had it done for a year by a guy who learned it at Indiana University, the first school to include extensive Graston training. Regardless, I don't feel comfortable and am worried I might get hurt with this guy, so I canceled. On the bright side, I spoke to my trainer down in Richmond and he said he'd be happy to see me. Anyway, ran afterward and it didn't feel as good as it normally does after Graston. Core A.
