AM: 10 miles in Cambridge. It was 100% humidity, but only 67F, so I can't complain. My legs hurt pretty bad at the beginning from my long run Sat, but loosened up really well. Another accidental progressive run. First few miles over 9 min/mi pace, the last few were: 8:18, 7:57, 8:11. AP: 8:34 min/mi. I'm pretty happy with this one. I wasn't planning a fancy workout, just wanted to keep the effort at Pfitzinger "aerobic" pace which is at max 81% max hr. Hit that HR on the head! Then tried the Rupp plyometrics (in my apartment because there are too many people around my apartment!). And then tried a crossfit WOD which ended up being too much for me, so I bailed after about 65% of the workout. I completed: 4 burpees at the beginning plus on every minute with 100 air squats, 100 sit-ups, then only did 50 box jumps. Time: 10 mins. In my defense, these were my first box jumps since my injury and my legs were so fatigued it kinda freaked me out to keep going. :) Then hamstring strengthening and a few PT exercises working my glute meds. Tough morning! PM: 1 hour on the bike trainer. Kinda multitasked this one by cooking rice while on the bike! :) Avg max hr: 62% nice n easy. The bike seems to reset my running muscles!
