Good run and a possible explanation

This is about yesterday, Monday, August 27.

I spent an hour on the spinner while watching the Dodgers lose 10-0. Good ride. Bad game. I love my spinner. I definitely had trouble spending longer than twenty minutes on my bike when I had it hooked up to the trainer.

And then I went for my run. I had already planned to run on a three minute run-one minute walk program. I started running and I felt good, which really confused me. Then it hit me. I had been trying to run, uphill no less, when I was not warmed up in the slightest. And then by the time I was warmed up, I had trashed my legs. Because I started the run last night already warmed up from the ride, I didn't have that problem. I still went on the 3-1 strategy and it was a good run. I think I might have learned something here.

Since I seem to be describing the day backwards ...

I did go to Crossfit in the morning. We did a bunch of push presses. I equaled my previous one-rep max so that was good. Then we did a million or so renegade rows. What is a renegade row, you ask? You do a push-up with your hands on light dumbbells and then when you are full extended up, you row once on the right and once on the left and that counts for one rep. Nah, we didn't really do a million of those. Only fifty-five with ten toes-to-bars thrown it at various intervals. And yes, my arms are a little sore today.

But the important thing is my good run. I was starting to feel a little discouraged and now I am hopeful again. It will be interesting to see how the next one goes.
