Day 148: A Day After A Hard Run

As I have previously said, the day after a hard run my legs are usually shot.  Today was no different.  After work I considered going to the gym but decided against it since I didn’t make it home until a little after 5 and I knew two things. 1: the gym would be packed. 2: traffic to get there would be awful.

While I was thinking about what to do Chloe was dancing and barking around me, she was obviously full of energy.  It was decided then that I would take her for a walk. 

We hit the road speed walking.  I expected her to slow after a while but she never did.  We walked as fast as I could because she had no trouble staying out in front of me.  After reviewing the Run Keeper data I was surprised to find that several times we were walking as fast as I run, but never for any extended period of time.

In thirty minutes we walked almost two miles, which impressed me anyway.  Our average pace was 16:56 and we knocked out the first mile in 16:39. Again to supliment the speed walk I added three sets of pushups. 

Daily Recap:
Matt: 30 minute speed walk adding in pushups

Kelly: TBD
