After slacking a bit on Sunday, I went out and climbed Roarke's Cove Rd. yesterday on the bike, a 28 min 900' climb of 2.8 miles. My bike needs some adjustment, not getting into the highest and lowest gears. I stopped on the steepest part of the hill and did a 100m run up to see wha it felt like. It was fine. I then went to the track and did my usual warmup and added some single leg squats. I tried a bit of running. Running on the turf with high knees and good form, it feels good. So, I did 3 x 50m high knee running. I tried a 50m run with normal stride but it felt clunky.
I can tell my first running will be hills and not full stride. Maybe some stadium stair when I get back to Murfreesboro on July 2. I can see that it'll be a while before any speed work but it's nice to return to the track and to the hills for some running, even though it's just a little. No need to rush anything. I am trying to increase my flexion but when I flex my knee to the max, it really makes some noise.
My weight was up a bit but body fat still OK. When I get down to this weight it's not hard to maintain. I ate a lot of chocolate yesterday and was 147 lbs after dinner, but today will be a light day and I'll be back to 143ish by tomorrow. Woke up at 144.7 lbs, which is usually at least a lb heavier than after my workout. I think I'll swim and do stairmaster, abs, and weights today. Traveling to FL to see my parents tomorrow so I anticipate a break in my workouts for the next week with no bike.
