After a busy Monday at work, I ran for an even 4.0 miles on the elliptical machine. In order to test out my sore and stiff hamstring, I ran on the treadmill but was only able to get in a tenth of a mile at a speed of 4.2 miles per hour. I could have gone a little bit longer, but did not want to push it too much. Through dealing with the two injuries that I have suffered recently, I have learned to judge progress on a weekly basis because at different times and days, my injury may feel like it’s getting better or worse. In short, patience (which can be tough for me to practice) is essential when dealing with injuries.
Lastly, for my non-running workout, I accomplished my standard routine of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
