It is a good life.
With a day left in June, Strava tells me the last five weeks have been 52, 54, 54, 54 and 50. I missed one day in there (this past week - travel). Walking was another 12, 13, 14, 14 and six (again travel). Strava also says I have 803 miles on the year as of today for running. Connect tells me I have been averaging 20k plus steps a day, the last four weeks were 213 miles, 48 of walking, average RHR is 46.
Have remained alcohol free for over 7 months now. Really not much of a thing there.
I can feel my limiters. My knee is often feeling shitty. Not as a bad as it was prior to the Duralone shot but I know I am grinding crap in there. My lungs often are hacking - a remnant from the scarring from the embolisms I guess. I am generally weak in almost all other functional movement because I don't do diddly for ancillary exercise.
But I am happy to be jogging.
Been getting some kayaking in too.
I estimate to be in about 6:30 mile shape. I hate that it is that, but recognize someday I'll look at that as something far out of reach. I occasionally get the itch to race ... maybe a mile. Then I think a 50 mile. Nothing with a significant climb as I just don't have that. I wonder if I can keep doing 200 miles a month for the rest of the year and maybe get 2k on the year. I wonder why I wonder that. Watching races, be it collegiate track or WS, definitely gets the itch going a bit.
If you have read this far and are so incline - and are doing nothing on the 4th - come check us out at Prost in Northglenn, 2-6.
