Been awhile since I ran in the dark. I always feel faster than my watch shows. Lost track of where I was and missed my first mile split. Time was only a second slower than yesterday. Thigh pain was "there" but not to the point it was altering my form. Two days in a row with less pain. I hope this continues. The doctor believes it is a quad strain. Less running, but not stopping, and more time is his suggestion for healing.
Pushed mowed my yard today for about 2 hours and walked 30 minutes with wife and kids. The high temp. today was about 86. Thought about taking off my shirt until I realized how big my tummy has gotten. I have gained 11 pounds since last November. 10 on my gut, and 1 on my face it looks like. So I decided to add some push ups and crunches to my daily routine. I had done this for about 8 months last year, then just stopped doing them.
I did 5 sets of pushups and crunches with 1 set being 10 pushups, then 10 crunches. 30 sec. rest in between each. Arms felt rubbery and abs burned when I was finished. |
