I woke up with a very swollen and painful-to-walk-on right shin. As a result, I ran on the elliptical machine before and after work for an even 25.65 miles which took me a long 3:58:12 to complete. I always get back together with Elliptical (i.e., totally as a rebound) when my true love of running hurts me. My mentality for this go around is that injuries just make for a great comeback stories!
My non-running workout consisted of only 300 sit-ups.
5-minute Plank Challenge: even this is too much pressure on my right shin
Trying-To-Go-Out-Of-My-Way-To-Eat-Healthy Daily Challenge: another serving of mixed fruit (need to focus more on this challenge)
By the way, after seeing the picture below from the Salt Lake Track Club Winter Series 5k, I’m even more impressed with the style of my neon-green running gloves/mittens. The first time I ran with this combination of a gloves and mittens in one, I waved at an elderly lady waiting for a bus which seemed to make her day. Then I realized that my courtesy running waves were now super emphasized with these bright oven mittens. The joys of running!
