conyinue

My hip flexor is better. I was able to do some plyo and 200s with the kids without any further injury, though I had a little pain when it came to split jumps. The girls did, also. But I think it will get better as the season goes along. I've gotten in a lot of miles on the exerbike, though. Something like 15M a day on thu, fri, and sat. I sort of figure that is equivalent to about half that distance in running mileage, at an easy pace. Aerobic training. Its wonderful. So, I am close to 100M this week and my resting pulse is under 40 when I wake up in the am. I'm giving running lessons and that is going to require some early rising. Really early.

In the middle

I'm in the middle of an easy week and it came just in time. The pulled muscle healed well enough for me to do a long run with some of the students, and to do a hellacious bike ride from the downtown area. So, today I did a good hour on the exercise bike and that felt just about right. I tried a few jumps and the hip flexor went along pretty well and I felt that I could do some fair fast running when the time comes. i think I'll try a little up tempo in the next few days and hope I don't get too far behind in the lactate threshold area, although I am not attaching the greatest of importance to that quality of workout in this microcycle.
