Wednesday's Training: Morning Run; Evening Legs

Had to get in some cardio since I didn't run Monday and didn't have routine practice Tuesday, since my friend at the gymnastics center is on vacation. Felt great about today's workouts...

11:00am - Ran 2.8 miles in 25:57 (My goal is to keep it under 26 minutes. I run a loop that disects at two intersections, so the entire run is equally split up into 4 parts. For me to keep it under 26:00, I have to hit each marker by 6:30 and the halfway obviously by 13:00.

4:20pm - LEGS!!! I'm finally getting my old volume up and feeling pretty good about it. My goal for legs is to get all the muscles and nerves firing properly and together in my right leg. I have an injured hip w/ lots of scar tissue there, so the adductor wants to take over everything, and the quads have difficulty fully contracting. I think I found the answer - unilateral work!
