SUNDAY
Went to Dry Creek with Hud at 6:30am after sleeping in and heavy rain. Ran into Tumbles who tried to get Hud to play by jumping on him. Was in a lot of pain today - obviously did too much yesterday. Ran into Dick and Trouble and walked slowly and heard about Dick's similar back problems as Hud and Trouble chased each other and nearly took me out. 2.2 miles
Short 4.6-mile RT bike ride to the store and back at a brisk pace
Week ending Sunday July 08
Hudson 10.5 miles. A good week for Hud
Chris 13.5 miles with 10' - yes, 10' - and ran less than 3 of those miles. Also 20.6 miles biking and some stretching and core work as that has to help back problems
SATURDAY
Went to Dry Creek with Hud at 6:30am after sleeping in. Much cooler after rains overnight so he was frisky. Ran / walked until running into Dick & Trouble as well as Barb & Preston. Hud and Trouble chased each other awhile as Preston - who is 16 - watched. 2.1 miles
Feels like fall today but humid. Did a 5-mile RT bike ride in 24:45 - a 12:07 mph pace. Not even twice as fast as running but fun
Short run on a Bobolink spur. 1.4 miles in just over 20 minutes. Rehab is frustrating
Rode our bikes up to Snarf's for sandwhiches. 5.3-miles RT. A new donut shop is opening up across the street from Snarf's - perfect
FRIDAY
Went to Dry Creek with Hud at 6:30am. My sciatic was less good today so I had to turn around at the bridge (just under half-mile out)
Called it an early weekend and rode the bike which helped. 5.7-mile RT
THURSDAY
Went to Dry Creek with Hud at 6:00am. Dick and Trouble were just ahead so we caught up to walk the 2.1 mile loop
Long day again at work. After late afternoon thunderstorms with minor flooding we all went up to the track. Hud alternated between running alongside me and chasing tennis balls (and getting yelled at for eating unknown things and drinking out of puddles). Laps were at a slow paces of 11:12 / 9:28 / a decent 7:40 / walked final with some soreness
Progress but still frustrating
WEDNESDAY
Went to Dry Creek with Hud at 6:30am. Dick and Trouble were pulling in at same time so we walked the 2.1 mile loop. Limping some but Hud got some miles. Plenty of dogs beating the heat
Felt good after some heat and advil so went with Maureen to Walden Ponds for a 30-minute jog/walk
TUESDAY
Went to Dry Creek with Hud but after 0.1 miles I was limping. I let him run around and say hi to his buddies before we headed out
Boooooooooooooooo!
Used the heating pad which seemed to help - enough that I was able to get out for some pizza and beers (complex carbohydrates)
MONDAY
Arrgh. Boring day. Frustrating given they've opened up many of the trails - including Green Mountain
