First track work of 2013!

STRENGTH: ~50 mins of PlyoX
RUN: 49 mins and 5.2 miles
COMMUTE: 6 miles on Puppy

I thought the plyos would hurt my poor abdominal muscle, but I only had to rest out one exercise. And actually the muscle is feeling pretty good today, wonder what I'll get tomorrow?

But that's OK, I have a pain to replace it already. I keep curling my toes up for some reason (maybe because it hurts?) and I've aggravated a tendon or connection under my left big toe.

Right after the plyos, I did the track work. It was a test to see if I could make the P90X/track schedule work on a Tuesday. Success!

I set out to do 2 1-mile intervals at a high tempo pace. Not sprinting, but not 10K pace. Maybe 5K pace. The first one was 8:0? and the second was 7:55. Not great, but not bad either considering I was post plyo, first time out, and pre brekkie!

FINALLY got outside on a bike. Goddamn it felt good. The smell of flowers. The low roar of a diesel engine over the tracks. The wind in my face, the heartbeat, the feeling of fast freedom. Goddamn. It felt good.
