I did a nice little running work out while I was visiting my homeland over the weekend!
Running on the same roads that I used to run over and over again years ago while I was growing up is always a trip! I never quite know exactly how it’ll affect me… sometimes it’s a trip down memory lane with lots of cracking up about fun times… sometimes it’s just hard to run down the same road that mom and I spent so many hours on together, walking, talking, laughing, loving. There have been some painful runs since mom died.
This time, apparently it inspired me to pretend I was back in high school and doing my track work outs! A completely different type of pain!
I went out for a nice 3.5 mile run… no hills at ALL where I grew up.
On my way back, the track team sprinter in me made an appearance! I did 1/2 dozen 100 meter full-out wind sprints… right where I used to train “back in the day”.
Did I say “full-out”? Yeah. The next day, my thighs were laughing!
I’m not sure if it was just because of the sprinting, since I DO do sprints pretty regularly. Maybe I pushed it even harder than usual, or maybe it was because of going on a run first, or maybe it was because I hadn’t had much protein for the previous 18 or so hours, or maybe it was because of the intense resistance training work out the day before running, or maybe it was because I had already been running up and down “the field” for an hour, playing soccer with the kids.
Who knows! All I know is that I felt like a teenager again when I was running! That was a blast!
