A pretty awful workout in the gym.....
Tonight I boarded a plane in San Jose and flew back home to Portland. I did a one day whirlwind trip down there to do a presentation. My hamstring sort of hurt on this plane ride and I knew I had to work it and stretch it a bit. So I started to get myself up for going for a little jog at the gym on the way home.
I got to the gym at almost 10:00PM. I am somewhat of a night person so I figure it wouldn't matter. I dress down and do some light warm ups. I did a couple of ab workouts and stretches and my hamstring therapy exercises. I then started a nice slow 35 min jog on the treadmill. I had been looking forward to this for the past 2 days. About 1/2 way into the run my hamstring started to pull. I slowed down and raised the incline thinking I might be able to get a good workout in that way. Nope.... Too much pulling. It wasn't pain mind you but I know now that if there is even a bit of pulling that probably is bad. So I backed off and walked and got bummed out.
I still did 2 miles and then went over to the weights. I did a few more ab exercises (hanging leg lifts 3x15) and incline sit ups (3x15). I then went to the pull up bar and gave myself a 50 pound assist. I could only pull out 3x3 for that one. Finally I did some leg presses 3x15 at 90 pounds.
Thath was pretty much all I could handle. I am such as wussy....
