Tonight's Workout (1/12/05)

Very good.

I got back up on the treadmill today. I did a 20 minute warm-up on the elliptical followed by an intense regimen of stretching. And guess what... No Shin Splints!!! Yeah!!! I did 6 intervals of running followed by a recovery walk. The intervals varied based on the length of the song I was listening to, but I wasn't in pain until the 4th interval when both my legs went numb from the knee down. So I got off the treadmill for a minute and stretched until the feeling came back to my legs and I ran 2 more intervals like a pro.

Thank God for Washington Sports Club. Although it's like 1/4 the size of Bally's with only 1/3 the equipment. But even at peak time (6:00 pm) there was no wait for an elliptical machine.

Things I shouldn't have eaten today:
- Apple Jacks (I finally finished that box)
- This pizza I'm about to eat :-')

Tomorrow is the Vagas (Vijay's All-Girl All-Stars) first group run. The plan is to run 3 miles outside.

- Wish me luck.
