Following another busy week at work, I hit the treadmill for a 1.5-mile jog before heading home. During my commute, I jogged to and from a couple of bus stops for a total distance of 1.4 miles.
After I got home, I headed out for what seemed like a calm evening run. However, about a half-mile into my run, the snow started to fall and it quickly turned into a sleet storm. The run up to the old Villa Theater on Highland Drive by way of the Brickyard Shopping Plaza was not too bad because I was running with the wind. In addition, a supporting driver yelled at me several times that I needed to “slow down” and that I was “going too fast;” that is, he kept getting stuck at long traffic lights, so I kept catching up to him. Even though I was running at relatively relaxed speed (i.e., not pushing the pace), it’s always motivating when people think you are moving fast. Anyways, on the way back, my face received the impact of running directly into the sleet and wind. So much so, that on my way home, I went into the Saint Mark’s Hospital’s parking garage for coverage and ran to the very top level and back down in order to dry out and warm-up a little bit. The total distance of this evening run was 5.4 miles.
My daily non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
