Hamstrings were pretty tight so took Benn's advice by warming up before stretching out my muscles. Warmed up for 1.1 miles at 5.2mph then took a good amount of time to stretch thoroughly. Then ran 2.12 miles at 6.2 to 6.1mph. Slowed to a "warm down" for 1.1 at miles at 6.0 to 5.8mph. Then continued for 1.24 miles at 5.1 to 4.5mph. At that point, my mom stopped in and had about an hour and a half before she had to go to work. I haven't been able to see her or spend a little bit of time with her in quite a while, so I got off the treadmill and stretched while I talked to her. We made some iced coffee together and did some newspaper jumbles (something we always like to do together). Once she went off to work, I checked my email and did some researching on various things I had wanted to do. So... after about a 3 hour break, I returned to running. I got back on the treadmill and ran 2.55 miles at 6.2mph. Then did a cool down of 1.036 miles at 4.5mph. Then did a lot of stretching on the yoga mat with Ruby (my cat- she LOVES the yoga mat and I have no idea why). Then finished up the night with some leg lifts and more leg stretches. |
