Just What I Needed

So today I was thinking maybe of running instead going to CF, when this little gem showed up:

8 rounds of:

Run 400 meters
Rest 90 seconds

Post total time to responses not including 8th rest.

My splits:

1:52
1:55
2:07
2:12
2:16
2:11
2:09
2:08 

My total time:  27:20

Felt pretty good to be out running, even though it was only 27°!!  Brr!!  My first two runs really felt great, and then on round 3 it's like the life just drained out of me.  Ha ha!  Still, overall I had a great workout and enjoyed the running.  This is what I need, no matter how bad I think it sucks at the time...I need cardio. And even though a faster runner might not see it in those numbers, I was pushing myself the entire time. 

So - yay!!  It was a good morning.

Well, it was a good morning if you don't count the pulled muscle or whatever is going on in my upper back.  Yeah...it's my upper back this time.  Geez...if it's not one thing it's another.  Three sets of 3 shoulder press went fine.  Then 3 reps of push press, felt kind of tight.  Second set of 3 on push press did me in.  I really think it's just a muscle spasm, just to the right of my spine by my shoulder blade.  At the time, however, it hurt like Hell and I was scared it was a disc issue.  But I'm fine.  Going to be fine.  Nothing a handful of Ibuprofen won't fix.  I'll be back tomorrow, rarin' to go!
