Out of town for work the past three days. Got some great workouts in at the hotel, however. A decent paced six mile run Tuesday on the hotel treadmill, followed by some drill work in the pool. Was unable to determine the length of the pool (probably around 18-20 yards long), so unsure how far I swam. Focused on form.
On Wednesday there was a wait for the two treadmills, so I decided to run the stairwell five times. The hotel had nine floors, though I started on the lower level, making a total of ten. I went up and down five times, sprinting to the top and jogging slowly back down. Each trip up took between 1:07-1:13 (min:sec). By the fourth trip my thighs and calves were quivering... and by the fifth they felt like lead, not wanting to move at all. O the burn! After resting for an hour, however, my lungs felt okay and my legs were recovering, so I went back to the workout room (empty, by this point), and banged out three miles. Afterward, as a reward, I had a beer and ate at Bennigan's downstairs at the hotel.
Last night I slept great and awoke at 7:15, which is very early for me! Meetings didn't start until 10:15 today, so after reading the newspaper, I fit in a quick four miles. This evening, I'm feeling the unusual exertion of doing stairs (my muscles aren't used to that sort of work-out)... the portion of my leg between the calf and the achilles aches wickedly. Just fatigue though, not like an injury. Overall, a great string of workouts for being away from home.
