After finishing up the work week, I warmed up on the elliptical machine for 2.2 miles then hit the treadmill for an even 2.0 miles before returning to the elliptical to cool down for 2.2 miles. By the way, I was able to get into a great rhythm on the treadmill and it sort of felt like I had a normal running gait. In short, it felt awesome! I wanted to increase the speed above 7.5 miles per hour and continue beyond two miles; however I decided to play it safe since I still wanted to get in an evening run and plenty of miles during the weekend.
When I got home from work, I headed out for a nice, easy pace run up to the Smith-Kiln Chimney and back. During this 4.0-mile run, even though my left hamstring was stiff, it was not as bad as on Wednesday when I did the same run. So, I’m getting closer to overcoming my hamstring injury!
To close out the work week, my non-running workout consisted of 300 sit-ups and 30 push-ups. |
