A short walk in the morning and a longer ons this afternoon with some easy running on the shady parts.

Today a 5k jog with walk breaks on the downhills🙃 - I don't know why but my body likes hogging up better than downhills.

I am similar - my body much prefers going uphill, downhill seems to put a lot more pressure on. And my knee is OK until I start a downhill stretch, whereupon it resumes its mad clicking (same with steps). Unfortunately any uphills are usually accompanied by downhills 🤷

my knee is OK until I start a downhill stretch,

Sorry how that is going - hope the knee holds steady. There is something about the biomechanics of going downhill that's rough on the body. Err maybe that's why the phrase got its start ?
It's my foot and achilles that doesn't do so well on diwhhills. I've got an orthotic in the runners now, so, guess I'll see what happens.

Just did a very warm three miles!

Hope that goes OK! Just did a run now and knee not too bad - it just clicks, isn't painful - though I did have sudden shooting pain in my hip the other day. All good today apart from the 27C air - pale northern UK people are used to much cooler temperatures 😆

Round trip walk to the post office because it got too hot.

Longer walk-jog today and it was a beautiful day for it, though almost too warm. 9.1 k inclusive of 4 steep little hills.

I worked out today, but also over-ate a bit.
Back in the saddle tomorrow.

Hey, I had 2 ice cream sandwiches and a toasted bagel at 10pm, but I DIDN'T do what I wanted to and order takeout.

Today I did a weight workout for chest and some core work.

I've been overeating too if it's any consolation. I ate my week's supply of chocolate and potato chips in 2 days 😆 Then I went across to the Chinese chip shop and bought a bag of fries. I might have to walk the 6 miles to work and back as penance (that, and the bus strikes!!)

 

[AvidFan]

For my sin of overeating I went and ran 5k including a very big hill. Apparently did my 2nd fastest time ever on part of the hill (the steep bit, as that segment is aptly named, the hill overall is a mere 11% grade!) - not bad considering the stats go back to my mid 40s. Took it out of me though 😆

Yesterday was rest day - just a short walk in the rain. ☔️

 

[Windhover]

6 k walk/jog with a long warm up which helped. Did the usual hills slightly faster.

 

[KM76710]

Round trip visit to the post office and checking out if there was anything at the truck stop I may need coming up.

 

[AvidFan]

Got out for a little run, felt horrid, not hot out but I overheated and could barely complete 3 miles. Felt tired.

Yesterday was biceps and a little core work. My 6k jog was the previous day, but the time difference makes it look like it was on the same day. I know I've said that before. Even a short workout helps lift my mood. The foot issue is still there, but less-so. I think the adjustments the podiatrist did have helped.

 

[KM76710]

I did about 30 minutes with the rower today.

 

[Pebble mouse]

Today I did a short 2k walk. I know it's not much, but it's a start.

 

[Astrid78]

Have been taking daily walks

A rest day today. I don't go out in strong winds, I just really don't like wind.
