InShape: one-mile uphill hike + run/walk 2 miles

February 9, 2020 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Slept in today, then we went to my office so I could work on CA before her long run. She's pretty healed up in the face, so running is good to go for her.

After she left, I resigned to go hike...but for whatever reason, I decided to try running - mostly because the ankle (after that sore period Friday) has otherwise been fine.

Moreover, I wanted to try running with bonafide KNEE-OUT focus. I feel like this has been the missing link for a lot of things, including (even) whole-foot strike.

So that's what I did: without a brace(! this is noteworthy!) I hiked 15min at 4mph at 15% grade. Felt fine.

Then I began running: at first for 60s, walking 30, beginning at 6.x mph and working up to nearly 8.0.

Felt...OK! Got to over 3 miles and made myself stop. Previously, it's hurt a lot later: that afternoon/next day.

But...no issues!

Cool.

I didn't tell CA. Didn't want to get her hopes up.

Rest of the day:
* got in a solid lift (high reps first two sets, then PUSHED weight in both deadlift(165) and bench(145))
* had a (somewhat annoying) coaching meeting with Mike, my oldest client. Some poor communication on things that was KEY to clear up. And good reminder on the type of value I need to deliver.
