Week 2

This week I was still recovering from the flu, or whatever it was I had. I decided to take it easy even though I was feeling extremely guilty.

Monday - Rest
I took full advantage of this.

Tuesday 
Almost feeling better but just not quite. Holding off on doing anything.

Wednesday - Run
Massive guilt feelings (and my expanding gut) got me out to Crissy Field for a scheduled 30 minute run. I started at the Monkey Bars where it was partly sunny and ran towards the Golden Gate Bridge, which I could not see, into pelting rain. Weird.  Had a heavy chest the rest of the day and maybe some more achey flu feelings.

Thursday - Mentor Group Social
Well, I guess the 3 SF mentor groups are anti-social. I got all dressed up and actually left my house to represent at Kezar Pub and to help force the people to interact. Unfortunately, the only people who showed up were Caesar, Ferdinand and me -- all mentors. Amy rambled up around 8pm and then we all left. I went off to dinner with Jojo.

Friday 
I feel like I did something this day but I don't think I did. Made plans to run with my long lost running partner Susan on Sunday. I did go to a birthday dinner for a friend and walked about 20 blocks in heavy, engineer boots with steel toes, of which I swear weigh about 5lbs each. I think I pulled a muscle! I definitely got shin splints. Hahaha. I haven't worn steel toe shoes in ages and my shins are complaining... and my psoas on both sides which is really, really interesting.

Saturday
Worked

Sunday - Run
Was supposed to run 55 minutes, but Susan who is training for a half marathon was slated for 5-6 miles so I just went along with it, which at our speed was about 1:10. We went to Crissy Field, ran to the bridge and back. It was a nice slow run for me. My quads and psoas' were complaining the whole way. I really think I might be in trouble with the psoas this year. This is left over from the end of last season along with my achey hips. I think I am gonna have to be diligent with the yoga and the stretching to make it through this season. 

Swim - 0
Bike - 0
Run - 1 hour 30 minutes
Core/Stretching - o
