Last night my right hamstring and calf were tight. As soon as I woke up today I put heat on both of them. Then I stretched them as best I could. My flexibility is so poor that stretching my hamstrings is a funny site, and not easy to do. Ran to the pool, mostly into the wind. Leg felt ok. Then swam. Could feel the hamstring pulling tight when I was doing breaststroke. Then I ran home. 1st mile on the the way home I had the wind on my back. 2nd mile was downhill. 3rd had some uphill. 4th mile a big side stitch came in my right side. This threw off my rhythm, stride, breathing, arm swing, concentration, ......everything. By the end of mile 5 I felt wiped out. But I got in the miles and that is always good. Run 1 - 2.11 miles - 8:03, 7:48, :49 - 16:40 - 7:54 avg. Swim - 1000 yards free/breast mix - 18:30 Run 2 - 5 miles - 7:42, 7:36, 7:48, 7:50, 7:40 - 38:36 - 7:43 avg. |
