Recap on February goals:
Running: 10-20 miles per week, with 2 SOS runs per week (“something of substance” in Hanson’s Marathon Method parlance, basically a non-easy run with a specific purpose) [https://hansons-running.com/pages/training-plans]
Skate ski lessons
Resume gym lead climbing
M – 6 mile trail SOS workout: general aerobic w/10x 10 second hill repeats & 10x 100m strides @ 5:45 pace.
Lead climb 5.11- @ [Bend Rock Gym]
T – Skate ski lesson #2! No surprise, of the 10 people in class I appear to be the most aerobically fit and strongest but…am in the bottom 3 for picking up the technique quickly. Sigh. This is why we learn new things, right?! What I do not have in talent and the ability to not overthink things I will make up for with persistence. Skate on!
Two hour alpine skills/drills downhill ski course on Bachelor with Oregon Adaptive Sports – so cool that the OAS organization offers these FREE trainings to their volunteers. Picked up some really constructive drills to help with weight transfer and smoother turns
15 minute core strength session
W – REST
Th – 4 mile trail easy run 51:29 with my friends who also happen to be my coworkers Dev & Hobbes (they kind of sound like buddies in a cop movie, no?)
Lead climb @ Bend Rock Gym
F – Skate ski lesson #3! Why can’t I fully weight my left ski! Why am I guarded with significant trust issues?? #workinprogress
Volunteered with OAS in the afternoon!
Sa – 6 mile road SOS workout 55:01 with 4 miles at marathon pace 8:45 [8:45; 8:44; 8:42; 8:37]
Lead climb @ Bend Rock Gym
Sports massage @ [https://www.actiondynamix.org/]
Su: 5 mile trail easy run with my beloved in Shevlin. No watch, no problems. Just a sunny day wearing lots of layers up top and shorts because it is still February.
21 total run miles
Meditated 7 out of 7 days!
