Reined In Thursday; May 27, 2021


Thursday evening and I'm kind of shipwrecked at home.  My job requires me to be on-call for a weekend, off an entire week and then a day a week until our weekend comes up again.

Just really can't be more than about 15 minutes out from the house in case we get a call that we need to engage a vendor for a specific application for one of the hospitals that we provide support for.

It isn't my most favorite thing to do, but I'm compensated pretty well so I'm completely thankful for that.

Another night on the rower and bike before getting in slightly over four miles on foot this evening.

12 minutes on the rower for 2,265 meters and 10 miles on the Air Assault bike in 28:46.

While on the bike, I put down another 30 pages of "A Most Beautiful Thing:  The True Story of America's First All-Black High School Rowing Team".

One statement that rang true for me was, "For some people, you have to keep an eye on them from the rearview mirror and keep moving forward."

Unfortunately, yes indeed.

I had two separate two miles walk segments.  The first is what I call the Fern Lacy 2-Miler.

15:20.73 out and 15:05.98 back for a total of 30:26.68, then another 2-mile stretch that measured at 2.03 miles in 31:35 according to the MapMyRun app.

So my new totals are as follows:

GVRAT miles = 142.781 
On pace at 27 days = 137.43 based on 621 miles (6.2 miles = 10K; 1000K)
Just off pace at 27 days = 142.28 based on 642.9 miles

And ...

January 1 - May 24 (144 days)
217.86 miles running - 220.5 miles walking = 438.36 miles combined + 170.15 miles light walking = 608.51 miles on foot.  473.47 miles cycling.  10,930 meters rowing.
May 25 - May 27 (3 days)
0 miles running - 16.03 miles walking = 16.03 miles combined + 3.4 miles light walking = 19.43 miles on foot.  30.3 miles cycling.  6,217 meters rowing.

Still feel like I fighting an uphill battle, but my goal is to keep this up all summer.
