The weatherman said it was going to be around 88ºf this afternoon. I had hoped I would run then. But decided to go in the cooler morning temperatures instead. My legs were sore and tired from last night. Ran the first two comforatably. Tried to pick it up on the next two. Then was in recovery/survival mode the last mile. It probably would have helped if I had gotten to bed earlier last night. Also the leg is achy today. I hoped it is just muscle soreness.
Run - 5 miles - 8:31, 8:14, 7:47, 7:36, 8:25, 1:08 - 41:44 (8:06 avg.)
afternoon - I only had 30 minutes to do a workout. Would have taken to long to drive to and from the pool. I would have had to stop just after I started. So I got the bike out. The weatherman was wrong by the way...it's 93ºf out, not 88ºf. It was also a little breezy. I just rode several circuits around the streets in my neighborhood. My legs were really tired from the get go. Quads burned and had little power. Not that they had much to begin with. Also noticed left knee was hurting about an hour after this morning's run. Feels like tendonitis. I took ibuprofen and will not have time to ice it until after work tonight.
Bike - 9.26 miles - 30:55 |
