A bit of a crash of a week, with the Achilles really flaring up and the travel. The running is more for my head than my fitness.
Really hard for me not to run the Mall though.
v
Monday - 3 miles on the mill in the AM.
Tuesday - 3 miles on the mill in the AM.
Tuesday - 5 and change miles on the Mall in the PM.
Wednesday - 3.3 miles in the AM
Thursday - off
Friday - back to CO - 3.1 miles in the PM
Saturday - 6.4 miles in the afternoon
Sunday - 10.4 miles, most of it with Greg and Gabby.
Saw Mark P on Saturday at his shop, and got some e-stim on the Achilles. Also putting some various salves and balms on it and using a cork lift in the heel on that side.
Low mileage week but that is what it is. No Turkey Trot ambitions here this year as I am just trying to keep it all together with duct tape and bailing wire.

Blur of a week. Came into it from CT and into ATL. Did a spin back home for a few days but then ended up back in DC on Sunday.
My Achilles is pissed enough that I'll officially budge and call it an injury. I took Saturday off from running (biked a bunch instead) but I failed on the discipline on Sunday - as I had to run the Mall again.
MON PM - 7.4 miles
TUE PM - 5.1 miles on the hotel treadmill. It was raining out and I really didn't have the gear or the heart to do that in the dark.
WED PM - back in CO, 3.7 miles right hitting the door getting home.
Went and played a mic up at 300 Suns on Wednesday night. Even decided to throw down a bit of Post Malone in the jam circle.
THUR AM - 5.2 miles with Greg and Braun.
Another four and a half in the afternoon after watching Lauren sign her letter of intent to UNLV. Woot woot.
Friday - stupid to run but I did - 8.3 miles around practice.
Saturday - no running but got in 20 plus on the bike. Dumbly underdressed and had to bike harder to stay warm enough.
Sunday - 6.2 miles on the Mall.
I’ll have to figure this foot thing out. It might need time off but I don’t know … meh.

Week of 03NOV2019
Over the weekend I picked this up. Really stoked about it. Now I just need to play at a level that goes with that kind of guitar.
On Wednesday I headed up to 300 Suns in Longmont, intending to get some more work on an open mic. It turned out to be a jam circle. I felt like I walked into a dojo and delightfully got my ass kicked. Completely different vibe and type of work. I sang nothing, went for the ride and played along.
Oh yeah ... running ...
MON - 10 miles - actually moved pretty well on this one, despite the snow.
TUE - 8.3 miles - mid day, sort of felt forced. But fine enough.
WED - a slow 5.4 miles in the single digits. Quite the icy face and beard.
THU AM - jogged to the track with the shovel. Cleared lane one for the afternoon kids for the workout. Then watched the plows hit the football field and push all the snow back into lane one. Jogged home. 4 miles.
THU PM - jogged while the kids did their workout. 5.1 miles.
FRI AM - 6.1 miles, including a good number with Greg
FRI PM - 6.0 miles as a part of practice. Stopped to do core and stretch with the kids and the last mile home sucked - the Achilles was tight as a E string.
SAT - pissed off Achilles, but made a fair round of it. 10.2 miles.
SUN - with Greg and Abby - 10 miles in the ice and mud. Good run. Rubber bands were bearable.
Fair week of jogging. Not ready to go after any "q" at this point, and probably just jogging to for some balance.
Post brewing in here about how I can see how I have become one of several guys I knew when I was younger. Traveling consultant. 50 something runner grumbling about injuries and talks about days gone by. Pretty guitar and fair musician but sort of a hack at it too. Coach on the sideline in suburbia taking pix of the furniture in the back yard when it snows. Looking for my glasses when they are planted on the top of my head. And a host of other sort of expected stuff. I am good with it all. I just didn't expect it, even though I drove right to it.
