Trying Out the Running Stroller

Wednesday mid morning was SUPER nice out, so I decided to give the running stroller a try. Yes, my knee was bugging me a bit, but I figured a little widdle run wouldn't be that bad. I ended up running 3 and a 1/4 in 32 minutes, and my knee bugged me again at mile 2. It definately is my IT Band. I powered through. The compression 3/4 length pants and knee brace I was wearing made no difference. Zim told me that ROCK TAPE worked wonders for his IT problems. 

Anyways...Running with the stroller wasn't too bad. It's not the lightest or the best at steering, but it does it's job. I was running at a 9:50 ish mile. It was different but enjoyable. Victor seemed to like it, until the last mile when the wind kicked up a bit. Altogether we had a fun time. We came home and a few minutes later Victor pasted out for his nap. I did some crunches, squats, and push-ups and got to sneak in a shower before he woke up. Good times.

Today I took it easy and did the elliptical for 45 minutes and did some quick ab work. Thursdays I go to the boxing gym to help out or coach, and I was close to bringing in my gloves. I'm so out of practice boxing wise, but I want to try to incorporate some boxing workouts in again. Nice to change up the cardio, especially when you have a bum knee. Plus an AWESOME stress reliever!!!
