Did the first half of p90X plyometrics, 5 pushups, 50 crunches, 30 oblique crunches, 1 x 20 sec. plank, walked one mile on the treadmill at 4% incline.
Gluts and hamstrings are SUPER SORE after yesterday's p90x workout. I know it was all the lunges because I could feel it yesterday. Today I walked a mile on a flat surface and 2 miles on a 6% gradient. My lower back has been bothering me and I couldn't get it to relax for most of the day.
Instead of changing pace for 0.25 mile intervals, I changed the gradient from 1-4% grade over a one mile distance. I was only able to run 2 miles and walk one because my legs and gluts were still really sore from Monday.
Ran halfway with J4b on the green belt and walked the other half while talking and catching up. We saw a blue heron on the Boise river that was huge.The goal was to get a calorie deficit going into the big feeding frenzy!
Ran 3 miles at a 6.0 mph pace and walked 0.5 miles. It felt like a slower pace than it used to, I think because I've been doing some interval training and running at a faster pace than feels comfortable for me. I also did a yoga video this morning to try to loosen up my lower back and laid for almost an hour on a heating pad. PA school is taking its toll on my body.
