On the car ride home after last Sunday's run, my right hip / hip flexor area tightened up. It was mildly bothersome all week. The weather wasn't conducive to activity, either.
M: Bike commute 14 miles, including 4 at night after my daughter's last XC meet of the year. Tu: Nada. W: Walk dog 1.5 miles. Th: Bike commute 9 miles. Got called to work in the field, so lunch was Little Debbie oatmeal cakes and soda. Winning! Walk dog 1.5 miles. F: Walk dog 1.5 miles. Sa: Light to moderate activity all day. Walk dog 1.5 miles. 3,800 calories burned. Su: 3-mile flat trail run. Light to moderate activity in-between raindrops. 3,200 calories burned.
After Sunday's run, my hip area felt better, but my upper left hamstring started bothering me. <sigh> Getting old sucks.

I try, when I have a hurts, to be aware of the compensations my body will do in response to the pain. I found those compensations will cause pains, in time.

Yeah... I've found the injury from over-compensation is nearly as bad as the original injury.

M: Bike commute 19 miles. Ride home (10 miles) was into a strong headwind. Tu: Bike commute 20 miles. Ride home (15 miles) was hilly and into a brutal headwind. W: Drive to Buffalo for a meeting. On the way home, stop at a State Park to trail run 4.5 miles. Pure mud. Th: Very sore from Wednesday's run. Trick-or-treat walk of 1 mile. F: Still sore from Wednesday's run. Walk dog 1.5 miles. Sa: Light to moderate activity all day, including digging a trench to help remove flood waters from lawn. 3,500 calories burned.

Well, it's happening. Every year in the fall, I have a week where I gain an absurd amount of weight for absolutely no reason. In the past 4 days, I've gained 5 pounds.

In regards to my wellness exam, its complete and I am awaiting test results. My mention is more about I learned, last week at my wellness exam, that I have a fever. It took less then a week before the fever went down but as most of the week was used up, I did not do 'anything' last week.
Week of 2 Nov: Sun: 47 laps on the track at the gym.
Mon: After several years of working out on my own, I have decided to get the assistance of a Personal Trainer. I have a routine, weights, that I like. I want to get more out of my weight lifting routine and thus the big reason for the PT. I am sure I'll have time remaining to bug the PT about other aspects of my training.
You see, I am real serious about how well, 2020, I am able to do Shi Shi. Also, after the 202 summer, I need to keep training at a high level for the 2021 backpacking trip of the Chamberlain basin. Our plan is to head out, from Big Creek, to Monumental Bridge, where we will turn to head up and make our way to the Ramey Meadows. That backpack from Monumental to the first camp site will be a 'death march' of gain. We will, also, be taking 7 days worth of food with us. So, I got to be ready for 2021 and the backpacking season of 2020 is my training for the 2021 backpacking trip.
Tue: Session with the PT. Sat: Nature Path walk.

Two weeks ago, my right hip flexor soreness transferred to my left upper hamstring. It was feeling better, then last week's muddy run aggravated it.
M: Bike commute 13 miles. Tu: Walk dog 1 mile. W: Bike commute 18 miles. Ride home (14 miles) was hilly and into a headwind for half of the ride. Disproportionately exhausted after. Fell asleep at 7:30. Th: Low grade fever, sinus congestion, cough. Run 1.5 miles. Re-aggravated my hip. F: Low grade fever. Rest/stretch. Sa: Feeling just shy of 100%. Light to moderate activity all day. 3,400 calories burned. Su: Light to moderate activity all day. 3,700 calories burned.
My hamstring is feeling better, but I think I'll refrain from running until the Turkey Trot.
I had my FitBit track my heart rate during Wednesday's run. My resulting VO2 max estimation was 52... a PR!

Week of 17 Nov
Tue: Landmine and Cablecross. Thu: Session with the P.T.
I learned that a workout routine should be switched up, ideally, once every 6 weeks. Even if the switch up is about dropping one weight lifting sets and picking up a new one. Also, if I am just going to switch up just one routine that each switch up should involve a new routine.
A routine should be no longer then 3 months, max. The best results come at a switch up once every 6 weeks.
Fri: Session with the PT

A few years ago I put into a spreadsheet several years worth of annual wellness exam results along with what I could recall about what I was doing with my eating habits.
The last 4 years, I have made better notes and still kept up with entering the results of my wellness exam.
The obvious became clear to me that what I put into my body has a direct relation on those test results. The real neat thing is that I have discovered that I can fine tune those results.
The game went from "I can't eat this anymore" to "what do I do to affect those numbers."
Anyways, planning one day at a time for the 2020 ONP backpacking trip which will be from day 0 to day 8ish. On day 0, I want to make it to Johnson Cove, which has a source of water. To make it there we will follow the afternoon low tide. Following the tide means as soon as we can move forward, in our journey, we move till stopped by the tide, where we wait till the tide has receded enough to go on. How ever far we make it on day 0 will shorten day 1's length.
