Tu, 3mi sidewalk run
We, short swim
Th, felt up to a run, but it was raining. Have raingear, but just wasn't interested in getting cold and wet. So used the stairmaster, while on my toes. Working on building up the strength in the left foot to match my right. (Left foot is recovering from a bunion.) Seemed to help.
Fr, more rain, more stairmaster, on the toes
Sa, was getting some work done on the car and leaving it overnight, so had to get in my trail run beforehand. Muddy and a few puddles! This area isn't too far from the gravel. If I find this spot covered in gravel one day, at least I know that I'll be able to handle it. The scenary on either side. Did the same route as last week, but no horses this time, so I took my time on the gravel. Went for the hard, compacted sides of the gravel section, rather than the loose stuff in the middle, so that's progress.
My arches were getting a bit sore from the gravel. (I had skipped the gravel box practice at home that morning.) So, I made sure to take a moment to stand with a little pile of rocks under my arches, to loosen them up. That helped quite a bit, and the return trip over the gravel was much more manageable.
This trail is always different depending on the weather. We'll see what next week holds.
