“Beware the Ides.. ” and the foot
After a very nice lunch in Old Town with Kristen and Arlene, came home and had a nap. Feeling frustrated about consistent soreness to my left foot, I decided to go out for a while under a new plan. That plan was to do 10 minute warm-up, 10 minutes of work, and 10 minutes cool down. The idea was that only 30 minutes of work may not put undue pressure sore foot. There was moderate pain in my left InStep for the entire 30 minutes. Clearly there is something going on in that foot. But I did manage to do 10 x 30-second pickups going off every minute during the middle stage. That was good and seemed to get my heart rate up pretty high. I was breathing pretty heavily for those 10 minutes. These pickups today were not very quick, just a solid stride (short). I was happy to get that much work in today. I will see what effect it has on for my foot tomorrow.
Stats –
I-Mad = 0. The Achilles tendons are fine period no pain or soreness at all. I need a new indicator two measure my instep soreness level. I guess it has to be I-Mid, (Index of Morning Instep Discomfort )
I-Mid = 6 today
Sleep = 6 hours. Not good last few days. Not getting to bed early enough.
a.m.HR = 54 BPM
WEIGHT = #154
