My training log for the week of July 13th shows some signs that the 30 – 35 miles a week may be wearing me down and leaving me fatigued. I haven’t been taking any supplements, so I got the D3 and iron out and started taking them consistently. I also got some B12 from Sprouts and started taking it. Since I eat no meat, B12 is something that I have to take daily.

Another week of dog-sitting duty, Mondays are no-run days, and morning and evening walks with my daughter’s dog Maggie. We always do two-mile loops to use up some of her high energy and so that I can keep my average mileage at about 4 miles.
Tuesday July 14th, 2026
The fatigue is continuing, so I didn’t run today. Maggie and I did a walk this morning, and then I did another walk in the evening to get 4 miles for the day.

Back on track this morning with our usual Wednesday summer hike in the bosque. Since we’ve discovered the Corrales Bosque, we’ve gone down there for several weeks. This morning was a repeat of the run that I did on Saturday last week, but this time with my daughter and her dog Maggie. We always get in at least 4 miles of hiking, and this morning was no exception.

Because of lingering fatigue, I did an out-and-back, walking east and up to the turnaround and then running back.
Friday July 17th, 2026
I did reach 100K steps yesterday, so that could explain the fatigue, as well as a less-than-adequate diet. I am making changes, but until they kick in, I did another walk east and north to the turnaround and then ran back.

Since my older daughter has a dog that loves the water, I have been going to places along the Rio Grande to find places for her to swim. This morning was the fifth and it turned out to be the last since the Rio Grande from that point and heading north is quite a ways above the river. It still has a great trail heading south that does lead to a favorite river access point.

There was an issue with Polar Flow Sync at the end of this week, and it continues to impact my preferred Vantage V2. I couldn’t record the Maggie the Dog walk last evening and couldn’t sync the walk with Maggie to my iPhone this morning. It was short anyway because my daughter was coming to pick her up after her shift at UNMH. Below is the North Pino Arroyo path, which heads east and eventually the arroyo parallels the Pino Trail in the Sandia Mountains.
More miles in the Corrales Bosque to have another week over 30 miles!
