Gym workout: 30 minutes weights. I even wandered around the gym aimlessly attempting to utilize the actual weight machines for the first time ever. I am really wanting to strengthen my hips, quads, calves, and well just my legs in general if anyone has any suggestions? I did my regular ITBS rehab exercises and then tried some abductor machine thingys.
8 miles on the treadmill. oops! Only planned 4 but I just kept going for some dumb reason. I did feel better but it was still probably a foolish choice. It took me 63 minutes so whatever pace that is. The IT band and calf are definitely feeling better each day but the dumbest thing I can do at this point is increase mileage and run through pain. I think if I handle this injury correctly I can be back up and running fast again soon enough. But if I'm stupid it could set me back a lot further. So don't be afraid to slip me a reminder to be smart every once in awhile. :)
Meeting at Willow Park in Lehi on the JRP at 5:45am tomorrow. 5-6 miles for me but you can go as long or as short as you want. Come one come all! |
