Wednesday - I was my one year anniversary of my first neurosurgery, removing the tumor. So, I celebrated. I really wanted to work out in the morning, but these changes in the weather here have my noggin' a little screwy, makes me feel tired and I woke up late. The night was spectacular, listened to Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros with friends and family, in a rainy thunderstorm... Great fun, definitely memorable!
Thursday: I was exhausted from Wednesday night... exhausted... I did absolutely nothing, slept in late...
Friday: 36min spin bike ride, interval style - felt great; followed it up with a 1.2 mile jog. No tightness in the calves. Really invigorated me for the whole day... Loving the shoes!
Saturday: a real test, maybe a little stupid... Didn't have access to my bike, so I just went for a straight up jog. After using google maps I covered 3.0mi exactly, however; I walked when going down several hills to try to minimize the impact I felt, try to prevent possible injury from not being adjusted to the shoes... definitely felt sore Sunday. I am guessing that once I subtracted the distance I walked I probably did around 2.7 or 2.8mi...
On to week 2!
As an aside: I am feeling pretty good about this personal challenge and I am thinking about setting a goal for a road race, duathlon of some sort... Suggestions? I am going for next late spring/ early summer....
Song for Saturday - it's a little slow, but I like the tempo for when I am running, keeps me from trying to go too fast
