We were going to get up early and run around the resort this morning, but when we woke up, it was raining like crazy outside. So we opened up our sliding glass doors, went back to bed and slept to the sound of the pouring rain! Tropical life is good. We spent the majority of the day on a snorkle cruise around the reefs off of Punta Cana. We had a little bit of rain, but the sun was shining high when it came time to snorkle. This evening, although I REALLY didn't want to, we decided to go to the gym. I committed to running two miles, just to say I did something. My shins are still bothering me, and I was so tired from the day in the sun, that I would have gladly skipped my workout in favor of a nap. But....I started on the treadmill at 6.0 MPH, ran 5 minutes, then walked for a minute. After that, I alternately ran for four minutes and walked for one. Each interval after that, I changeded my speed. I did 6.5, 7.0, then decreased back to 6.0, and increased from there. 6.5, 7.0, 7.5, and 8.0...then my last two intervals I did at 6.5 and 7.0. I ended up doing 5.06 in 50 minutes, so I felt pretty good about the workout. When I get home, I'm really going to have to work my legs over to get those muscles to relax. I'm looking forward to running on the road again, in NON-humid conditions! |
