First run this morning. Woke up early and it was pouring out. When it comes to real cold, very high winds, or pouring rain, I am a wuss. So I headed down to the basement for a short 4 mile jaunt on the treadmill while finishing up Episode 13 from the Biggest Loser, and the very beginning of Episode 14. Nothing like training for a marathon while watching America's morbidly obese try to lose weight by exercising for 8 hours a day...
The were a couple of things different about this morning's run:
- I am fat (relatively speaking). I left for Boston at 155.2 lbs. I weighed 166.6 lbs this morning. I haven't been this heavy since January 2011.
- Holy crap did this hurt. I thought taking two weeks off might make my legs fresh. Nope. My quads were like, what the .....? The first 1.5 miles were like running on broken legs.
- Put on the HRM for the first time since June 23rd of last year. New one from the new Garmin 305 I bought last year. Strap needed to be adjusted for my new "girth".
So here's the dirty details below. Not that horrible, expected crapiness after two weeks completely off, post -marathon. Also, doing the 100 push-up challenge. I did Week 1, Day 3 after the run and could not complete the last set (by 1 measly push-up). Did 11-15-9-9-12 push-ups with 120 seconds rest.
So 4 miles @ 8:38/mile. AHR 128. Will start also reporting a beats/mile metric.
