This morning I felt a bit groggy. I wanted to sleep in about another twenty minutes, but made myself get up. I wasn't tired persay, just...groggy.
I popped in the shred dvd and hit level two. You don't get abs like that for free, right? The only thing that totally kills me in level two is all the plank work. I just can't seem to hold myself up for very long! The pendulum lunges are also tricky, mostly due to my poor balance (which I don't remember having!).
I sweated through it, and was thankful for the cool down. I like level two I've decided. It makes me feel pretty hard core.
Run:
Yesterday I may have mentioned my hip flexor being sore; if not, then yesterday my hip flexor was really sore. Today...it was even more sore. After the shred it seemed okay, a little loosened up, no major pain. So I went out for my 4 miles with a hill, and thought all would be well.
To begin with, my feet were killing me (okay, not really, they were just very sore and tired) about a mile in. I took it easy on the hill, walked the last 15 feet or so, walked some of the downhill. After that, things felt fine, so I busted it out. I wasn't sprinting, but I had a strong steady pace. About a mile from home, my hip was not having it anymore. I couldn't lift it enough to keep the steady pace, so I slowed down...which hurt more. I had to walk it out, there was nothing else I could do.
Frustrated and hurting, I walked about a third of a mile. When things felt better, I hit my pace again. I was able to hold it for about another third of a mile before my hip told me to stop. I pretty much hobbled home.
I did some stretches when I got home, took a cool shower, and now I have a heat pack on it. I'm VERY thankful for my rest day tomorrow.
