Another week... running week of 2/2

Did 5 miles of easy running yesterday. Temps were in the mid 30's with a cold wind. I tried out a new pair of micro fleece pants from the John "The Penguin" Bingham store. Boy, were they warm and comfy! (Not bad for $30!)

I know it's not technically this week, but Saturday I did 9 or 10 miles for the first time in months. I don't think I was fast, but it wasn't hard. It was one of those "forever" runs. My knees/hamstrings were a little tight afterward, but my hip didn't feel bad. My right leg still feels... heavy. I think maybe I need acupuncture.

Sunday I did 2 hours on the elliptical (it was a planned cross-train day) and after the two, my hamstrings definitely needed some stretching. Even today after a 45 minute ride (admittedly with intervals), I still needed stretching. Note to self, more stretching right after the run, rather than feeling sore later.

Tomorrow, 4-5 miles, Thursday, hill repeats at 10-15%, and Sunday is another 4-6 miles. Easy weekend after a long one last weekend.

Keep it up everyone

Did intervals for the first time ever last night. Wow that sucked. It was 1 minute hard, 2 minutes easy, 10 sets. I think I did 5 full sets and 5 sets where the easy was 30 seconds fast tempo walk. Then came home and did core workout. I felt exhausted when I went to bed.
