My right achilles was still very tight this morning so I decided to go on a bike ride in the beautiful weather. 46 degrees and sunny. I did put feet warmer sleeves over my shoes and warm gloves on my hands because the only annoying thing about biking in sub 50 degree weather is the cold hands and feet. I was toasty and really enjoyed the ride. Rode for 1:06 on Big Dry creek. I'm counting it as 5 miles.
I was going to go the gym this afternoon with the kids and try running on the treadmill since my achilles seems to feel better in the afternoons, but I never got out. The kids did NOT want to go to the gym and sometimes I just don't have the energy or desire to force them to. We went to the park instead.
I'm sure I will feel up for running tomorrow. I must admit, two cross-training days have been nice though. I guess my body needed it. |
