Slow recovery run on the dreadmill after doing some lifting. I felt like I was going harder than I should've, but it certainly wasn't very fast, by design.

Goal was LSD, which it was long, but not quite as slow as I'd expected. This was long enough where I think I was starting to get some glycogen regenesis at the end, or maybe I just had momentum to get back home.

Only running today, putting in a down payment on whatever horrific sins I'm about to commit at Thanksgiving dinner. Not fast, but I was also doing a little people watching as I ran around the Washington Monument and back.

Readings are coming straight off the Garmin Forerunner 235, so not that accurate, as I didn't wear a chest strap today.

Day of significant lifting, although my left arm still suffers from tendonitis. I needed to get some work in, and I did, mostly to offset the Waffle House All-Star Special I ate this morning

Also, today was entirely too hard based on HRM reading.

First time on the erg in a while, but I didn't get a chance to go to the gym, due to some wholly avoidable churn at work.  It's not my fault, but I had to fix it.

I was watching Band of Brothers episode 1 while I was erging to sort of get in the mood.  The OPFOR Cdr wasn't feeling it, and was stomping on the floor.  Fortunately, the baseline noise from the erg is loud anyway.

First workout at work and I decided to top it with a hard run. Hard but not killer run, and I enjoyed it. Not as fast as I'd like, but still good. I've reverted to some old workouts given my left arm tendinitis, but the weight work felt all right. Better to revert than to stop altogether.

The run was from the Pentagon to around the Jefferson Memorial, so a little hilly and very breezy.

This is literally my first cardio work in 11 days. The vagaries of work have been that brutal. The last strength work I did was two days ago, using the dumbbells and mats in a hotel while traveling. It doesn't help that I have tendonitis of the left forearm, so that has really put a dent in the strength work when it hurts to pull down or grab hard with the left hand.

Splits aren't great, but they are improved some by weather, as the conditions are nice and I didn't go overboard on snivel gear.

First run from the house in forever. I was on a work schedule that required me to go into work by 6am, which required me to be on a 5:30 bus, which required me to the house by 5:00am, which meant I needed to get up by 4:40.

That work schedule pretty much licked my ass raw.

Today was not fast for the amount of rest I had hoped, I suspect, because of the lack of rest on Monday night (about 3.5 hours of sleep).

No lifting today. I was running artificially slowly as I was running with an old friend and our pace was conversational. This is actually not a bad thing as I needed to probably do some less stressful running today.

Adding about 1:09 of walking at the back end. I resisted the urge to pull away - that's for a solo run, not a run talking with a friend.

After lifting, I decided to try to run portions of the National Mall. First time doing that and I was going to land during a time where it was going to be swarming with tourists. The weather was as nice as it will ever get, so it was a must. I think I have managed to pull my left forearm muscles with gravitron pullups, which is not encouraging. I need to take some time off as this is the second thing I have managed to hurt with lifting - the other being my right lower back with deadlifts. I'll take a few weeks off with it but this is quite annoying.
