I got up this morning and Elijah and I ran a 5K with walk breaks in 31:10. My legs are still tired, and my right ankle/shins are bothering me, so I just took it easy. Later, I did my P90X legs and back routine, but left out the back exercises, since I have no pull-up bar or any place too hook up the bands. I finished up with ab-ripper X and was excited to be able to do a couple of the exercises that I've never been able to do before! Yay for getting stronger!!!
Then, to top it all off, I wrapped up the evening with a trip to the pool, where I swam my first official "workout," not just a bunch of laps. It was surprisingly fun! I went with my friend Katie. I did a 100m swim, then 75m legs only, another 50m swim, followed by a hard 25m swim. This exercise was repeated four times, first with freestyle, then back stroke, the free again, and finally breast stroke. Then I followed it all with 1000 meter swim. It was supposed to be a little different, but I was short on time, so I did the last part straight through, instead of in intervals. I think the breast stroke kick is going to cause some soreness in my shins later...we shall see. :) |
