Today's high temperature: 58F
Another run outside. Today's run wasn't as good as yesterday's but it was still so nice to be outside and running on my familiar trek. I ran my normal route and in it's entirety it's 4.25 miles. That's nice to know. I have never ran from point to point before. I usually ran for a certain distance and so ended before the starting area but today I just wanted to know how long it was.
After the run, I took a quick shower and headed over for my Fitness Test. I'm not sure why I even went. I'm perfectly healthy. I mean, I am a vegetarian runner! I told this to the physicians that were there and they wanted to know why I signed up. But it's still nice to know certain things.
Blood pressure: 106/60 (less than 120 & less than 80 is wanted)
Body fat percentage: 18.3% (as an athlete I should have 16-20%)
Pulse: 60 (should be under 65 - I was rushing to get there before my appt time so it was a little high)
Waist: 28" (over my shirt - needed to be under 38")
My forward bend was find as I could touch the ground.
Back bend was over 45 degrees.
Squat had to be held for 30 seconds.
My one-legged balance was a bit off, especially on my right leg. I knew I needed to work on that. He suggested doing it on a pillow which will help strengthen the ankle.
Tomorrow I will run my hill workout on the treadmill so back to the YMCA. :-( It was fun while it lasted.
Back to today's run: I even brought my camera with me today to take pictures. And I even took a little bit of video for RuncastTV, my first one!
