Yesterday I ran with other members of the Run Club. We went on a quick 3.5 mile run in the neighborhoods surrounding campus. We ran at a 9 minute pace, so we were done in 31 minutes. We start running at 5pm every day which is usually not a problem but because of daylight savings time it was almost dark by the time we returned from our run. We were talking about changing our meeting time to 4 that way when we do our longer runs we are not running in the dark.
After the run I completed a workout that I made up that works your entire body.
When I woke up this morning I was feeling last night's workout in my quads! They were pretty sore from all the lunges and the curtsies.
Today is a Tuesday which means it's a workout day! Every Tuesday we go to the track for "Track Tuesdays." Another runner made up a list of track workouts so each week we go and complete one of these workouts. The distance to the track is roughly a half mile, so we run there, workout, then run back. Today's workout was 3x800s. My Achilles is feeling really tight now, so I see some stretching and icing in the near future!
I wish I had been into running while I was in college. I went to the University of Delaware and the campus is beautiful -- perfect for running! And the fact that it's getting darker so much earlier makes it really hard to run outside!
ReplyDeleteI agree! I have always been more of an afternoon runner than a morning runner too, which makes it even harder!
