Banana Pepper plant with peppers growing on it… woo hoo… I might actually have to eat one of them soon… maybe make some salsa or just have it in tomato pasta type dish. Bell peppers/ tomatoes/ jalipino peppers are all close behind… little bits of fruit on all of them, but nothing of significant size as of yet. I should also eat some of my arugula ‘cause it needs trimming back.
Anyway… full week of training last week and all in all I think I just has the best weekend of exercise I’ve had in maybe 4 months. Glorious summer weather with 95F type days with quite low humidity. Great stuff.
Right shin has continued to be a little weird through the training week.. not painful, but I’m constantly aware that I just feels a little off. I think that might just be normal – I’m getting used to using it all again, and the muscle is getting used to me demanding lots out of it. I’ve been icing it twice a day anyway, and see PT Barb again on Thursday for more work. The ankles both feel weak first thin gin the morning (just like the good old days through last summer and autumn and winter when the training was everything). The right shin (and left too really) both feel tight and a bit over stressed when stretching into the front of the shin by bending the knee with my body weight directly over the bent knee – i.e. up against a wall stretching the shin by bending the knee into the wall and stressing the ankle/bottom of the shin/anterior of the shin. But complete day off today – no cycling no running no weights no nuffin. Turned off the alarm clock and radio alarm and just let myself sleep in as long as my body needed. Turns out it needed about 10 hours before It wanted to get up and turn the kettle on for a cup of coffee.
Mileage last week = 80 miles
Planned Mileage this week = 104 miles
