Yesterday (12-26) I worked out at the gym. Burned 800 calories on the elliptical and my shortened weight routine.
Today, another 3.17 miles! And the same time as my December 24 run - 34:30. This time, however, I noted that my heart rate did not go above 170, and I was able to run the whole way. 14 hours later, I feel just a bit tight in my right hamstring, and a small bit of pain in my right ankle. But not much. However, I am feeling some weird twitch in my left hip, right where my gluteus maximus meets my femur. It's like someone is tapping it lightly with a small hammer. I don't know how else to explain this.
We'll see how I feel tomorrow. I'm thinking of going back to the gym and doing intervals on the treadmill. Treadmill running is a great deal easier than road running, because the "ground" is being "pulled out" from under you. So I can get a decent cardio workout with less stress on my legs, and it will be a LOT less boring than the Elliptical.
Distance/time: 3.17 miles in 34:30. Average 10:53 per mile. Weather: 26 degrees with 19 degree wind chill. Clothing: Polyester cap; polyester ear warmer; long sleeve shirt; running jacket; running gloves; two pair of pants; cotton socks. I started out a little more cold on the upper than I would have liked, but warmed up nicely after the first mile. I'm glad I didn't wear an extra shirt. Pre run: Water. Post run: Standard protein shake.
