Pushing through the pain,  kind of…….

After taking two days of rest, I headed to the clubhouse tonight for some serious work.  A couple of things may be at work here on my body. First, I received a flu shot about five  days ago and may still be feeling some of the effects of that. Second, the four mile run that I completed three  days ago was the most strenuous effort I have made in the running world for about two months.  So I have been tired and feeling muscle soreness for the last two days. Today was not much better, but I decided I have had enough rest and needed a workout.

The entire session consisted of 75 minutes in motion. In the gym I worked on leg exercises, arms and core for 40 minutes with a 10-minute run on the treadmill in the middle.   I left the weight room pretty winded and tired on the way to the pool. There I swam for 20 minutes and ran in the deep water for 15 minutes.  Sat in the hot whirlpool for 15 minutes ,  showered and headed home pleasantly exhausted .   Tomorrow is for running.

Stats = Stable
