8.2 miles - on a bike
SO, I hit the pavement this morning after taking a day off to recover from a workout that consisted of 200 lunges, a series of sit-ups and some push-ups. This workout seemed like a great idea at the time, to continue my leg strength for my 14er climbs this summer but was only a reminder the next few days that I need to do more lunges and squats. More legs in general.
Needless to say, I ran about a block before I pooped out. Yes, I was going to die so I stopped. I marched back into the garage and grabbed my bike turned up my ipod and headed for the Poudre Trail. I made myself get up out of the saddle for a lot of the ride to work out the soreness in my legs.
I am feeling better today...still walking a bit funny and bending down is not fun, but I am alive.
Tomorrow I will work it out with fartleks and additional squats.
Sigh, oh the joys of training!
