2 days to Flying Pig

Less than 48 hours from the Pig. Phantom pain in legs, probably a result of standing around for 6 hours for the Pegasus Parade in Louisville. I will be letting Advil and Biofreeze do their jobs–and trying to stay off of my feet as well.

Hopefully, tomorrow will be a moderate rest day, at the very least.

  • My new tactic. 1% treadmill run + -3% incline on cool-down #twit2fit Streak day 51.  7.51 miles in 1:15:00. For my last two runs on the treadmills at work, I've actually been using the "cool down" as an actual cool down.  I ran 1 mile in 10 minutes, then reset the treadmill (60 minute session limit) for another 60 minute session at......
