Through the gauntlet

I’ll just say nothing. Well, I made it to Friday. No Chiefs games at home this week. Next week: last Chiefs homestand and I’ll make my usual 5 games of the 6, with a Friday night Illinois opener against Western Illinois.

Tuesday: I had time for a disappointing 5 miles. 1:17:12 for 5.12 (15:05 pace). Wet pavement after Monday night’s rainstorm, and while it was 78, humidity was 79 percent.

Wednesday: easy 2 mile walk before my 9:40 start; I did learn some new things. Weights: pull ups: 4 sets of 10 pull up, 2 sets of 6 chin up, 2 of 5 mixed. bench: 10 x 134, incline: 3 sets of 6 x 134. high incline: 10 x 94, 2 sets of 5 x 110. Trap bar dead: 2 sets of 10 x 134 low, 10 x 200 wagon wheel, 10 x 250 wagon wheel (60 lb bar).

Thursday: 8 am start, so a commuter 1 miler before work, then a slow (in jeans and shirt) 4.3 through Bradley park (crowded but no difficulties). Later that night; HUGE cramp in the right hamstring. Friday: tight calf led heel pain and foot pain in the left foot: calf stretching helped.

Friday (today) commuter 2 miler. Weights: 4 sets of 10, 2 sets of 5 chin ups, bench: 10 x 134, 5 x 160, 6 x 155, 8 x 150. high incline: 10 x 94, 2 sets of 5 x 110.
