Training Log: Entry 3503

BRIDGE WEEK

AM WORKOUT (0400 wake up via alarm)

Treadmill Walk

Time: 75 min

Incline: 1

Speed: 3.5mph

Distance: 4.33 miles

Notes:

* Doing everything in my power to NOT push too hard and do something stupid right now.  Walks are supposed to be recovery and very slight bit of weight control (more on that in a moment).  I'm dealing with what the Valkyrie suspects is plantar fasciitis in that left foot, and a little bit of swelling in the ankle, but walking honestly seems to help alleviate some symptoms.  Around the 4 mile mark I was really feeling solid.  This competition coming up only has 1 moving event, so I'm not too concerned, but I WOULD like to be healed before that.  If the treadmill starts doing more harm than good, I'll switch to bike or rower.

* I weighed in at 81.2kg post walk, which is a .9kg drop from last week.  I absolutely ate my face off this weekend recovering from the race, so that's pretty outstanding.  Maximum Definition Diet really lives up to it's reputation.  I'm gong to play the edge on nutrition leading up to my weigh in and see how much I can get away with.  I'm already planning my post weigh in dinner: I've had a 36oz Tomahawk piedmontese ribeye in my freezer for a while now, and I can think of no better occasion to break it out.
