Ahhhh, this morning’s run was fabulous, dahling. I really didn’t want to go, but I put my running clothes on and sat around for a few minutes then decided, what the heck? Just go out and get it done. And I did. It was hot, I wanted to go earlier before the sun got to its hottest point, but I was much too lazy. I’m officially on vacation so I slept in (who are we kidding, I usually sleep in), said hello to my google reader, ate a Globar, etc.
Here are my stats:
From my Nike+:
- Time: 20:00
- Distance: 1.48 miles
- Pace: 13:32 mile/min
- Calories: 239
From my HRM:
- Avg HR: 172
- Max HR: 203
- Calories: 315 (this includes my warmup)
I pushed myself on my runs today, and I think maybe I pushed a little too much, because my left shin started hurting (this has been a reoccurring problem throughout my life, so it doesnt surprise me). When I got home, while I stretched, I iced it. Or in this case, “pea-ed it”.
Much better. I also plan on doing deep calf stretches and toe taps to prevent a possible shin-splint; which is in my opinion the worst possible injury of all time. Worse than a broken ankle, and I’ve broken both of mine.
While I “pea-ed”, I drank my obligatory coconut water.
And while I’m sitting here typing, I’m dripping sweat on my computer (shh! Don’t tell The Hubs! I already dropped my laptop in the middle of the night last night! This might be too much!). I’m pretty sweaty.
Yikes! Holy red face!! It’s my curse.
Now I’m off to get tons and tons of stuff done. Up first: lunch, shower, laundry, cleaning. Happy Friday!!
Hi, I just found your blog and I love it! I can completely relate to not wanting to run on hot days!
Nina,
I too am one of the “tomato” face club. It was so embarrassing to sit in class after gym and have everyone stare at me. There were even a few, “what’s wrong with your face?” Ugh! Be red, Be proud!
Hi! I just followed you from your post on OSG. Love your blog! I’m totally the same way about my face getting red. I scare myself when I come in from runs sometimes and pass a mirror. Haha.
