Caught Covid last week. Hopeful that this won’t derail my plans too much for these first few months.

Bruh.

You're a relatively-fit, not elderly dude who takes care of himself. Don't let a minor virus set you back. Hydrate, eat, and get back on the horse!

I’m an old fart with some accumulated aches & pains, and I don’t ride my bike while feverish. Heal thyself, then get back into your groove.

I appreciate the explanation. I definitely overestimated how it would set me back.



I tested negative on Wednesday and was able to do a diagnostic run Thursday. Put in longer runs on Friday and Saturday with today being my designated long run day.



Big plans this year. Training to do my first marathon in early April. Trained for one back in 2020 but it was cancelled two weeks before the race. The time feels right to make another swing at it.

From a mileage perspective I’m well ahead of schedule. I’ve got 10 mile, half marathon and 30k races in the months leading to the race.

Initially I said my goal is 4:30:00, but that was a lie. I’ll be happy to finish under my own power, but 3:59:00 is what I really want.

I won a couple of triathlons in the late 80s/ early 90s. A couple years ago I thought I’d take another shot at one. It didn’t take me long to realize I’m old and that ain’t happenin again.

Get after it youngster.
I think you’ll do great

I told myself that this moment will be the easiest point in time to attempt this. Each year will get subsequently tougher as time and responsibilities ramp up.

Nice. Is it not blowing snow where you are?

 

[Sudden Impact]

elliptical daily. 40 to 50 minutes. winter.
split it up and bike about 30 to 40 miles a week. Done as many as 80 miles in a 3 day weekend.
Biking is an adventure in this day and age with text drivers.

Nope. High of 50, cloudy. Badazz winter weather arrives in the wee hours.

Last week tracked running/walking/hiking activity. I got back to doing my run+walk sessions last week on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Prior to that icy roads, the flu, and significant shin splints stopped me from running (still walked other than flu).

I'm continuing my running this week but I'm slightly concerned because the arch of my left foot hurts when I do a bunch of running. I'm hoping as I keep losing weight that problem goes away.

Nice, was down for a week this month. Got my flu vax today. Think that'll do for vaxes. Got appt get knees looked at. Just cant run for sustained periods. Starts to hurt.

Did get a dropper post for MTB this weekend. itching to try that out.

Thankfully I haven't had any knee issues yet, just periodic shin splints and my left arch hurting.

MTB always sounds like fun but it seems like the uphill bit would be pretty grueling if you're riding.

Can be.

Still working on it myself.

I’ve definitely lost a step post-covid. Runs in the low 8 minute range feel like sprints, where they used to feel manageable. Luckily I’ve got some time and longer races before the marathon to see if my goal time of 3:59:59 is possible.

Anywho, 6x800 intervals today. The bug has bitten me bad. I spent the last ten years running a lot and just having fun. Now, I’m taking it as serious business. Still fun though.

I’ve had the flu that’s going around. It’s not bad, or at least it wasn’t for me. I have felt very weak for the last 2 weeks and have not run. I was going to give it a shot this morning……nope. Maybe tomorrow

Illness and exercise is tricky. Don’t want to make things worse, but don’t want to lose ground. Or you enjoy exercising so much that you feel sad when you don’t.

One hour Cyclebar today…..25 miles

This week's runs are done. I've been running long than 4 weeks but I had to repeat weeks because I was super out of shape. This time I feel good about moving on to week 5 Sunday.
