Only Day Two??

I took yesterday off and took a stroll instead of a jog. My leg muscles thanked me.

Today I didn't want to do the routine. I hoped it would rain harder; I tried eating; I tried napping; I tried doing the elliptical. Nothing worked. (The elliptical made my quads scream.) So I put on my super reflective vest, ear warmers, got Saba all ready, and out I went.

Before I got down the driveway I had to come back for the flashlight. I got a little mag light. I couldn't figure out how to turn the darn thing on. I got the whole lens off, but no light. Eventually I figured it out, and Saba and I headed back out. The light was worthless. It barely lit my feet let alone any distance. I'll look for one of my dollar flashlights tomorrow - I know how to turn them on and they light better.

Near the beginning of the warm up I stopped to do a little Saba clean up. He seemed a little alert, but I was focused trying not to get any poop on me. When I finally looked up there was a man in black with a black dog walking our way. I almost eeked.

Overall the routine was good. My pace was about the same as my first routine, but I wasn't in as much pain. I'm working on my posture and techique. I think I need different sneakers. I also need to push a little harder - today wasn't as much of a workout. It was difficult with limited light, wet roads, and different hills. (Speaking of hills, unfortunately my "cool down" was mostly uphill - I'll have to work on my route.)

So, I made poor dinner choices, but the routine was complete. I'm glad my attempts to not complete it didn't work.
