Before biking to work, I went out for my sub-6:00-am run in my Vibram Five Fingers. This run entailed running over to Big Cottonwood Park and completing one lap around the softball complex before heading back. On the way back, I truly experienced this discomfort of running in Five Fingers when I stubbed my big left toe on who knows what (i.e., it was too dark to tell). In short, a little blood and throbbing, but I’ll live.
After work, I hit the treadmill for the first time since September 3rd. Consider I was still experiencing a little discomfort in my left foot, it felt good to be back on the treadmill. For this second run of the day, I ran 3.2 miles at an easy pace.
Besides my 31.9 mile roundtrip bike ride to and from work (by the way, it felt great to get in an extended bike ride even though it was a little bit cool in the morning), I was able to accomplish 200 sit-ups, 25 push-ups, 170 (50, 40, 30, 20, 16 lbs) curls, and 20 (50 lbs) reverse curls. |
