Stadium!!

Thanks to my LA roomie (yay!!) I was motivated to walk to the UCLA track and utilize the stadium and track :-) Walking over was a great warm up - lots of hills. Got a wee bit nervous about the calf as it was being whiney on the way over!

Initial plan was four x [300m around the track + up and down every staircase] ...15 staircases from the track to the top - in total so that's 60 up and downs. When the first lap proved to be difficult, definitely came to the realization that four might be too much for Day 1 back.

1st 300m - 1:42 jog (if you can call it that :-p )
1st set of stairs - 9:30+ whew!
2nd 300m - 1:50
2nd set of stairs - 14:00+ wow!! sore calves were NOT happy with this workout selection!
3rd and 4th 400m walked w/ Allie -> 370 calories total

Very low calorie burn for a typical cardio session but I definitely had jello thighs and burning calves from all those stairs on the balls of my feet, ya know? :-) Felt awesome to feel the burn - just hope it does not delay my healing!!

Goal for tomorrow - minimal running, arm and some leg weights!!!
