Day 3 - Aches and Pains

I made it there today, and I ran the whole 5k in about 35ish minutes, and ran at a faster pace.  That was my goal, and accomplished.  But then I had this cramp/ache/pain/knot in my left thigh - quad side, and I decided not to push any farther than needed.  I also ran 8 minutes at an 11 minute mile, and then two minutes at a twelve minute mile.  I decided not to do any more, like back strengthening work today because my lower back still feels really messed up.  It even hurts up into my shoulders and neck a bit. 

Saw Igor as I was on my way to stretch.  I did some bear walks with him, alligator walk, and a crab walk.  The alligator was a doozey.  I also did 4 sprints with him.  It was supposed to be 5, but we stopped early.  I thought I was going to die, but I just kept thinking one more minute, one more minute, one more minute.  I can, I can, I can.  Then I stretched.  It was good.  Very successful.

Success: Made it to the gym, and worked out for about an hour and a half.  Also, I felt super hot today.  Woohoo.
Setbacks: My back still hurts.  I'm also really tired.  Early bed for me tonight.

My setbacks aren't really too bad for today.  Oh wait!  I ate an extra piece of pizza that I really shouldn't have eaten.  Darn food.
