Running, running, running

Early this morning I woke up to awful muscles soreness in my shoulders and triceps. I felt so clumsy as I suffered to get out of bed (then back in again, with a book!). It was pathetic.

I quickly decided to go running today instead of the Rx crossfit WOD– I didn't want to even TOUCH a barbell. My upper body internally cringed just at the thought of doing a push-jerk. So. Obviously I chose to go on a long distance interval run instead!

I geared up and went out for 4 miles of running on roads away from campus and then made my way to the track to do 4 laps of 400m track intervals. I'd say I easily completed 6+ sprint intervals over all (on roads and at the track), and I got down and did 4 min sets of ab ladders and bicycle crunches twice during the workout as well as some painful walking lunges and pull ups near the end.

In the inner lanes of the track, I stretched then laid down on my back, closed my eyes and let the warm sun in the gorgeous, clear blue sky shine down on my face and eyelids. It felt incredible. Runner's high, much?
