25 nov: happy thanksgiving! good thing my workout called for drills today in zone 3. i'm going to need it to burn calories i'll be taking during dinner. ;) my nieces wanted to run with me this morning so i just went around their gated neighborhood.... back and forth... up the hill and down... and repeat. several times. the hill is pretty crazy - i was only able to go up the hill 4x during the 20-min drill workout. zone 1 run for a 5-min warmup and another 10-min cool down at the end for a total of 35 min. did some stretching and then had spam and eggs for brekkie. DOH
gobble gobble everyone! i'm really thankful for my health... and the health of those i love.
23 nov: i arrived in san diego this morning. after doing some shopping and getting nails done with the nieces, it was already dark out. so i ended up on the treadmill. my worst nightmare. actually, i thought it wasn't the worst idea because my left leg was still bothering me so the treatmill will be easier on the joints. about 15 min into my workout, i felt a lot of discomfort on my left leg. debated stopping the workout many times but i told myself to last at least 30 min of the planned 40 min run. is it because i didn't stretch after my long run last sunday? or is it because it's so boring on a treadmill that all i can think about is the throbbing pain on my leg? i really don't like being hurt... i think exercise is hard enough and when you put pain into the equation, it just makes it so much worse. i like the pain of pushing myself, not actual pain pain. hopefully it gets better by thursday's speed run. this is not helping improve my speed. UGH
