The gym was a struggle today. I went in with some basic muscle and knee aches, nothing major. I used it as an excuse to just run a mile, and I also pushed myself to go faster because I was running for less time. Of Course, after running 2x faster than I normally do my knees and legs did hurt, so I tried to walk it at an incline (also making my muscles hurt).
So I got off and got on the elliptical, determined to not make this gym day a waste. It was way too easy, but my leg muscles and knees stopped hurting, so after 5 minutes I got off and got back on the treadmill, determined to finish my run. I managed to do 20 minutes on that, totaling 3 miles for both segmented runs.
I guess its good, it taught me that excuses are useless, and I could have done my full run the whole time! Tomorrow I will do five miles at my normal pace. I do think a brief elliptical break every now and then could be beneficial for longer runs.
