Four routine miles at 6.3/6.4 on the TM, followed by a refreshing (?) dip in the pool with Pam. The water temperature was about 90, I think, so the cooling factor was zero, and there wasn't even enough breeze to cool you after you got out.
One thing I've noticed. When I first start runs, especially on the TM, my lower abdominals really hurt for the first 400 or so, as if I'd just done about 150 situps. Once I get into the run, or maybe once I get my core muscles activated, the pain subsides, but it's weird to have my abs hurt more than my legs on a run. Yes, I'm still working on core strengthening, including doing planks for 150 seconds. |
