UPDATE: Ran 4.25 miles with my oldest son on the Natchez Trace trail. My lungs and heart were fine — my hamstrings are tight and started causing issues with my IT Band. Don’t know WHY my hamstrings won’t loosen up but I can say this: My legs are messed up.
Goal Weight: 195 lbs
Today’s weight: 213 lbs.
My legs are still shot, but a little better. I didn’t run yesterday. Or bike. Or any other kind of exercise. But I did stretch. And I pulled out the big guns: Heat rub and an ice bath.
Sitting in a tub full of cold water and ice was, well, exhilarating. But it made my legs feel good enough that I could sleep.
I’m going to try to go for a long, slow run today. I’ll let you know how that goes.
