Monday not Funday Workouts
on 1/21/13 1:43 am
Ran 4.62 painful, sucky miles -- total junk.
I'm don't know what my problem was -- I may have been overdressed as it was quite warm out, maybe my legs are just dead from last week (31 miles!!) or maybe they were sore from the foam rolling I started Saturday. I tried everything, run/walk intervals, praying, keeping Van Halen's "Right Now" on repeat and I couldn't shake it off. OH well, it's done and in the books. The next one will be better, I'm sure.
What did you all do?
1.5 miles walk to try to stretch out my left quad. Then a 5 mile run. The first 3 sucked but by mile 4 things were much better! Quad is still tight and sore but not painful. Going to hit the foam roller and probably cry but i know it will help. :-)
Lots of 5K's, 10K's., 4 1/2 Marathons, 3 Sprint Triathlon done. 2 Olympics and my First IRONMAN 70.3 September 2013 and First Full Marathon Dec 2013 !!!!!

1.5 miles of .... not sure what to call it..... a walk/jump rope intervals? My husband walked, and I jumped rope next to him. Hey, at least it got my heart rate up and burned some calories so the excessive crap I ate today wasn't so impactful. Meh, tomorrow's another day....
