Ran on the track at the field house (1:04:20), and I plan to run around 3.5 miles tomorrow to reach my goal of 20 miles this week. I didn't feel that great during the run, maybe a little dehydrated-and there was some knee pain that started at mile 5. Followed up with 50 each side leg lifts and 1 x 60 sec. plank. The 60 second plank proves that my core is getting stronger, but that does not mean that my abs are getting any flatter. The prescription of aerobic exercise and core strengthening is only making my abdomen fatter. As a matter of fact, I have almost convinced myself that I can defy all of medical science and actually get fatter the more I work out- and I don't mean the amount of muscle you build as you start a work out routine. Hopefully maintaining minimum 20 mile weeks will prove to be a fat buster... |
