I'm not running at all this week to let my calf heal up a bit. It's doing pretty good, but I don't want to test it. I self-diagnosed it on the internet as a calf pull and not achilles tendonitis. Basically, it's too high up the calf to be achilles tenonitis/tendonosis. When I flex with a bent knee, it hurts. There is no pain when I flex with a straight knee.
So today was a double bike. Biked 14 miles at lunch, then the standard 40k route to Inkom. Very windy today. The 40k time was a few minutes slower than normal, and I'll blame that on the wind. We'll see how I feel tomorrow after a double bike day.
Saturday was a nice family hike up Gibson Jack to see how Paul liked the baby backpack. He seemed ok with it, fell asleep, on the way up, then babbled the entire hour and half on the way down. I practiced talking back to him! Overall, a nice three hour hike.
Sunday I did six hours of yardwork. Call me the "ivy killer." I hate ivy, and all the recent rain has made it grow like the weed it is. It is killing one of our juniper bushes, so I yanked it all out of there. Then I cleared the area around our air conditioner. Sweated like a beast all day. Good workout I guess, but I don't log it as such.
