I am still running. Monday sort of ushered in 'in-door running season' which hit brutally quick this year.
Tuesday I ran outside, just for a mile, and then did TRX/Kettlebell at the gym. Running outside was fairly icy. Winter is reminding me of the other use of my trail shoes: Ice Running.
Wednesday started out as a track run but my heart rate was all over the place and there was just no way. I did a mile and half on the track and then headed over to the elliptical where my heart rate was much easier to keep under control. I walked on the track and took some serious time to stretch out afterwards.
Thursday I had zero problems with my heart rate and had a great run. I ran 5 miles, walked half a mile, and then headed down to Zumba.
Friday I was in a bit of a hurry, so I only had time to do 3 miles. I think I was dreaming of running with a higher heart rate and didn't freak out when it got to 150, but mostly I kept it pretty low key.
Saturday I was somewhat hung over and recovering from the Garth Brooks concert, so I just ran my mile and then slowly and surely made my way back to the couch.
Sunday I decided to check out the Downtown gym. I've heard it's a ghost town on the weekend and I was not disappointed. I had another day where I could not keep my heart rate in check so I did 2.2 miles on the treadmill and then headed over to the elliptical. It was a bit of a learning moment for me to be able to keep my heart rate at 150 or 151 for so long without seeing a big spike. I guess I know what the treadmill is good for now.
