Day 25
5 minutes walking
1 minute jogging/1 minute walking x 4
2 minutes jogging/2 minutes walking x 2
1 minute jogging/1 minute walking x 2
3 minutes walking (had space left over at the end of the run)
Total time: 28 minutes
Total distance: still no idea where the pedometer is. When I find it next, I’m stapling it to my nuts.
Tougher run down the stretch, unsurprisingly, a little hard to breathe at the end, but the majestic sound of Christopher Cross performing “Ride Like The Wind” kicked in on the iPod just as I was about finished, and carried me through the last jog or two. (Somewhere in England, a man named Rhodri has just fallen off a desk chair because he can’t stop laughing at this mental picture.) My right shin is almost completely fine now, but the left one definitely has lingering soreness, that I’m icing and using an anti-inflammatory on. I’ll be doing this same run throughout the week, so I won’t be pushing it any further than I did today. We’ll see how well I adjust and heal under those parameters.
I’ll probably start the situps again soon. Not doing a great job of stripping off pounds without them. I think I only stopped them in the first place because I was in a rut from the non-running.
Onward to Wednesday.
