I went for a short 3 mile run yesterday. On the way back I practiced some sprints. Today my legs ache from the run and the earlier motorcycle ride.
April 2nd run
I went for a 3 mile run this evening around the neighborhood. That’s 0.5 miles more than my last run. At this rate, I should be back up to 10 miles per day at a reasonably fast rate within a month.
Getting ready for snowboarding season
Last night I did about an hour on the tread mill at the gym. 20 minutes of running at 5.5 mph with between a 6 and 3 degree slope (varying). 5 minutes of walking at 3.5 mph. 10 minutes of running at 5.5 mph. 10 minutes of walking at 3 mph on a 15 degree incline. 5 minutes of walking at 3.5 mph on a flat surface. 100 side steps in each direction at about 2 mph. Walking backwards at about 2mph for 5 or so minutes. Emily S happened to be working out at the same time I was there.
Afterward I did some quick chest and arms weights and some abs.
My extreme treadmill time was designed to start getting my legs and core warmed up for the impending snowboarding season. It doesn’t matter that there isn’t any snow at any of the resorts. I still have to get ready!
