Shortly after rolling out of bed this morning, I got out the door and jogged the 2.1-mile distance up to the Salt Lake Running Company for a group run. On the way up, my shoes must have turned to concrete because my legs were sure felt heavy. However, being pushed by the group during our 6.5-mile run, the heavy-ness and soreness slowly dissipated enough to knock out a 6:34 mile (we averaged 7:16 miles for the distance). With that said, I might have pushed it a little too much, because on the 2.2-mile jog back to home, I started to feel some soreness in my IT band. By the way, the temperatures were brutally cold outside; for example, my neck warmer frosted over and lost some feeling in my lips (i.e., a feeling comparable to a Novocain shot at the dentist).
In regards to my non-running workout, I was able to get in 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
