Ben and I went for a run along the coast this morning. We decided to run the first loop of the Ironman run. It was REALLY slow going at first. My shins totally locked up after about four minutes of running, and I had to stop. I tried again, but had to sit down for a while. I think it was the walking all day in my sketchers. I thought I'd have to quit after a couple of miles, but by the end of the third mile, I was feeling better, so we kept going. I took my walk breaks after every five minutes of running, but was able to finish the 7.05 miles in 1:12:23. My legs actually felt better the longer I ran. What a relief! Tomorrow we're supposed to be at another amusement park all day - I think I'll wear my running shoes instead. :D
Later on, I hit the gym for a mild HIIT on the recumbant bike - I did 5.07 in 20 minutes. Then I did a little upper body work out - a set each of chest, back, biceps and shoulders. I finished with a little bit of ab-ripper. I'm trying to eat a little better today, but vacationing is tough on the nutrition plan. :D |
