Tuesday Run

Today was a struggle. Tuesday’s are my run days and I normally run 3.5 – 5 miles. Today was brutal. My legs felt very heavy, it was everything to get out there and do it. I only ran 2.5 miles today and it was tough getting through it.

Every workout or run is different, some days I feel good and others I do not. Today was one of the bad days. On the positive side I was able to push through and get it done which its better than doing nothing. But it definitely was not my best. The humidity was exceptionally high and it was hot already at 5 am so that contributed. I like to run the best when it is in the 40’s.

After my run I always complete a series of stretching exercises which I did this morning. I also completed triceps’s press with dumbbells with low weight. this is 15 pounds only on each dumbbell for 100 reps. I have been getting stronger here so will probably go to two sets of 100 coming up. I also did 60 hammer curls with the same weight and will also probably go to two sets in a week or two. I also do max sit ups for two minutes with an ab mat. Today I was able to get 75 reps. I am working my way to 100 in two minutes. Just a couple of months ago I was only able to do 40 – 50.

Overall, I got it done but it was a struggle. I’ll keep at it. Until next time, good luck and have a great day.
