This morning’s run was difficult. Twenty-two minutes in, I still hadn’t “settled in” and was becoming more and more tense. So I walked for several minutes and picked up again for about twelve minutes. Walked for about three minutes, ran for another seven, and cooled down, making a total of about 48 minutes of workout time. Tomorrow is very much going to be a rest day. A muscle on the outside of my left thigh is achy, my left shin is getting that bruised feeling, and I feel very tired and drained. Why my left leg always acts up more than my right one, I don’t know. I suspect the…

I got through my 45-minute treadmill run this morning (with a wonderful burst of speed around 35 minutes in) because I took along music. And because I was determined to get in a full workout, and since I’m only doing 45 minutes, I want all 45 of them. But it was fun, and wonderful, despite the fact that I was dumn enough to ingest a dairy product before the run, making things… interesting.

I did my run this morning on a treadmill. Where’s the damn wind when you need it? I got hot, and that’s not zesty. Between the heat and the boredom, I only did a half hour. I did, however, do a couple of speed intervals, which was fun. When I gain some transportation, I may drive out to a nearby park and see if I can find a running trail.

Friday’s run was another evening run, in which I ran another 45 minutes. I want to be running an hour before the end of summer, but I need to sit on the 45 minute runs until my knees and ankles strengthen up, and they aren’t there, yet. But I can afford to be patient. I also did three sets of 15-second planks. Go me.
