October 2013 Totals

Oct      273.3 km
YTD  2950.7 km

Did one race the Horror Hill 6 hour covering 47.8 km on a cold wet mucky day.  This was the first month every  that I ran every day.  Most months I miss less then a handful of days but I was taking part in the "October Challenge" to run and minimum of 5K every day.  

And that's a wrap

Last run of October 2013...5K at lunch this evening.   And thus concludes the October Challenge and I am pleased to report that I ran 5K or longer each and every day this month.    

Lunch Run

5K the ussual was this eve.  Calves were a little tender after running on my tip toes Monday otherwise I am pretty much back to where I was before HH.

Todays 5K  was much better.  Swelling in the right leg is almost gone and the normal range of motion is back.  It would have been a great day to take it outside.  Bright Sunshine ,  no Wind and temperatures hovering  a little below slowly progressing to a little above made things rather pleasant.  

Yesterday ... post went missing!

Right leg is still quite swollen but feeling better. It took be nearly 1.5 K to get up to a 6:00 pace. At first I was running on my tip toes but as things loosened up it was back to more of a mid foot strike. Logged a total of 5Ks and felt pretty decent near the end of the run. I really hate it when running doesn't' come naturally!

Recovery Run

Best 5.2K  recovery run ever!  Left knee and lower leg were swollen and quite stiff as HH yesterday.   I had a suspicion that  run today may improve things and I wasn't dissapointed.  The October Challenge  really helped my out on a day that I probably would have remained idle.
