Foiled Again!

May 24, 2011 Tuesday Happy Birthday Jen H - 88 days to go
Jerry thinks I should work on being consistent and getting my workouts in first thing in the morning so -
I went to bed at 9:30 pm last night, read a bit and figured I'd be asleep at 10:00. But at 10:00 I was so cold I had to get up and put flannel pjs and socks on to keep warm. I would have worn a toque if I had found one, but wrapped my head in the covers.  Couldn't sleep.11:30 - too hot! Off go the pjs and head covers. Still can't sleep.12:00 take ibuprophin for back. 1:04 Lorne comes to bed Still awake. 2:00 Lorne won't stop snoring. Put earplugs in.  Fall asleep. Sleep through alarm - in fact sleep till 8:00 when coffee shows up.

Took Jerry's advise about not running if back still hurt. During a break at work got Lorne to drive me to General Hill. It only took me 1:30 minutes to have my heart rate in training zone. Kept heart rate between 146 and 150 bpm. Steep part of General Hill reminded me of the Easter Island marathon, except that incline was 4 km long. Seems walking does the same thing to my system as running. Stopped at 20 minutes and found a bush. Fortunately only one truck went by as I was pretty exposed. Did lots of stretches and some walking while I waited for someone to pick me up.  Iced back upon return to work.

Iced back again after dinner then did my 7/3's x 3.  Will have a sauna tonight.
