Since the inversion is starting to build back up, I did a majority of my running workout on the treadmill. In order to get to a treadmill, I ran 1.9 miles over to the local Recreation Center (by the way, this run over was quite chilly). Since my right leg was sore (calf and IT band), I stuck to an easy pace. In fact, before this workout I made a personal rule that no matter how good I might be feeling after my legs loosened up, I was not going to push the speed above 7.7 miles per hour. I did not break this rule even though I was tempted several times to do so. While watching the first half of the Broncos-Eagles game (not a good first half for my Broncos, but even though it was a tough loss, they showed a lot of fight in the second half), I was able to get in 13.1 miles. Reminded about how bitterly cold it is outside, I finished up my running workout by jogging 1.9 miles back to home.
I was able to accomplish my non-running workout that consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups while watching the second half of the football game. |
