Running Totals for 17 Nov 09

Well this morning at FBC we got to do our workout in a torrential downpour. At first, it was sprinkling a little bit and I love to run in the rain so I thought no big deal. Well about 20 minutes into our workout the sky was falling down, the track was a lake, and everyone in the FBC (Instructor included) was soaked to the bone. It was awesome! We did Resistance Training/ Cardio which means we ran the track with medicine balls (mine was a 13.2 pounder) and did exercises on the corners. We got in 1.25 miles plus exercises. It was a good workout in my opinion even though no one agreed with me. Oh well you can't please everyone. Tonight's run was a little tough because it was actually cold and windy and my legs never got a chance to warm up. I should have definitely ran in pants tonight because my legs were as stiff as a board when I got back to the house. I got in 5.90 miles so at least I got my run in tonight. I really didn't have the motivation to go run tonight but my loving wife prodded me until I got my butt up and out of the house. Anyways, my totals for today are as follows: I ran 7.15 miles, burned 1,001 calories, and my run tonight was 1:06:15, including cool down. I am still taking it easy with my left hamstring/ glute because it still feels suspect. I don't want to pull a muscle this close to my PT test and marathon. That would be somewhat devastating!! Until next time...

Keep up the good work Bro! When is your PT test? They are finally getting ready to implement a PT test for the guard force. It will help get rid of some dead weight and people who just need to go. We miss you guys and think of you all often. Love ya, Bill

Enough of the negitive stuff. I ran/walked 5.39 miles in 75 minutes and burned 876 calories. A good workout. I had been having trouble with the tendin on the outside of my left leg that goes from my knee to my hip. I think it is the IT Band. During yesterdays workout it hurt bad up until around 4 miles then pretty much went away. Go figure. Knee hurts a little. Will run this afternoon and see how it goes. I don't need to let having to walk a lot of the time interfer with a workout. Walking is ok. love ya dad run consistently
