We met at my place and we ran to the track. I find 3K is always a perfect distance for a warm up. When I get to the track, I usually do some dynamic stretching and strides before I get down to business.
A man dressed in a tracksuit struck up a conversation while I was stretching out. It turns out he is a Masters track and field competitor – Merv Armstrong. He has medalled at world and international competitions. I found this article about Merv from about 10 years ago.
My legs and butt have finally recovered from Monday’s weighted lunges. After our WOD, we had to do alternative leg lunges carrying a 25 pound plate over our head for 5 lengths of the gym. Man I hate lunges. My right leg/hip/foot is still a little wonky so I probably should have skipped the cash out. Instead I powered through (and cheated a little which I got called out for!).
I ran with Shannon aka Red Deer Foodie again this week. We ran a leisurely 8K along the closed trails in Red Deer. Good times!
And the day is finally here …. tomorrow I will run my last long run of this training schedule. I am aiming for whatever comes first – 32K or 3 and a half hours. There’s no real benefit being out any longer.
sounds like a good week!! 🙂
Thanks for sharing the post. Keep up the good work. I really like it.
