I was using Facebook Notes to do my updates for WWYWT? So today I decided to come back to the blog. For the past 2-3 weeks I was using the Wii for my workout. Don’t laugh… I dare you to do 10 matches on Wii boxing and 5 matches on Wii Tennis and then round it off with baseball, bowling and 9 holes of golf. It’s an incredible workout. Seriously. I was on the Wii because I had a calf strain and I had to rest up but I didn’t want to lose the cardio. With a calf strain it is very hard to toe off which means running is out of the question.
Yesterday I rolled off 2.5 miles. Today I went back to 3 miles. Using the Wii actually strengthened the muscle because in boxing I was lunging and in tennis I was doing toe raises. So how did I do today?
Distance: 3 Miles on the road with several medium hills and one very big hill.
Time: 9:40-10:15 Not a very good pace at all. But those hills were tough. 35 minutes total.
Style: A combination of forefoot striking and heel to toe. My feet begin to roll towards the end.
Shoes: CG097II I continue to love the lightweight feel of the shoe. Although I can feel a lot of the rocks in the street, the lack of weight allows me to keep a solid stride instead of dragging my feet. In most shoes for big guys the shoes add another 5 lbs which over the course of a 5K can really slow you down.
Soundtrack: The Reunion Mixtape- Talib Kweli and DJ High Tek. Excellent running music.
Get up, get out and do something!
Stay motivated.
