This morning I rode my bike to work and jumped on the elliptical for a half mile in an effort to stretch out my left hamstring before reporting to the office. Following work, I returned to the elliptical machine and ran for 3.5 miles before transitioning to the treadmill for a mile. I ran at speeds from 5.2 to 6.2 miles per hour on the treadmill with a lot of stiffness in my left leg and a little soreness. Consequently, slow and steady progress! I then cool down by returning to the elliptical to run 5.2 miles before heading home to ice my legs.
In addition to my 31.1-mile bike ride to and from work, I completed 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups for my daily non-running workout. |
