First run in a long few months, and first run of the new year today- 3 miles.
What a lazy day. Started out at a cafe, w/ a bit of study, then a ridiculously dense brunch (a sausage scrambler that was like 99% sausage, but it was some fancy schmancy gourmet local sausage, so that makes it okay, right? right? )
I tried to go running on campus, but after a mile or so, knew it wasn't working out. Nothing in particular: just wasn't feeling like running, so I turned back, for about 2.4 mi total. Blech.
Got home late in the afternoon and PASSED OUT for 2 hours plus. Maybe I'm fighting cooties or something (malaisiness). The mere thought of running tomorrow is currently untenable. Sit ups? Horrible. ST? Fooey on strength. Up with malaisiness!
May things change by the morning.
Lots of stair climbing today and some upper body ST.
Feel great! wobbly but great!
Followed that with some arm work with the TRX.
Were you on actual stairs or on a stairclimber? Do they even have those anymore? Or is that just too 90's?

I did TRX for a bit last year - that stuff is harsh! Got a helluva workout, tho...
Tuesday
5 mi / 8 km running
6 mi / 9.7 km total
28 F, 21 F / -6 C windchill
Headed out in my Moc3s and smartwool socks after warming up. After 1.3 miles I got to my stretching pillar in the fairgrounds and did my standard stretches: hammie & calf stretch with leg up on top of the pillar, about shoulder-high; quad stretch using the pillar for support; piriformis stretch bending over holding onto the pillar while moving my butt side to side; and ITB stretch touching the ground with my legs crossed over.

I admire your discipline. Stopping to stretch during the runs if I were doing that myself it will take the joy of running for me and I'll be in coocooland by now.
But if it's working for you, well keep it up!
I do the real thing, real stairs. There are some stairclimbing machines avaliable but I much prefer the the real deal I feel like I get more of a workout.
ha ha ha You were probably being more intense than I was. I don't really notice a difference from my normal weight routine. I like the convenience of being able to do it at home without a rack of everything!I did TRX for a bit last year - that stuff is harsh! Got a helluva workout, tho...
luckily i have an office on the 5th floor, so i can either go up and down for a workout, or just make sure to use the stairs a lot during the day.
where do you find your stairs; you're on a university campus, right?
