12/15 Run and Workout

Well, the Seattle weather is back to normal. Went out on Tuesday in the rain. Good solid rain, no mizzle (misty drizzle, the more typical Seattle precipitation). Reasonably comfortable at 45 for a quick counterclockwise loop around the lake.
My left calf was tight again, down near the achilles. Definitely need to keep an eye on this one.
Did some pushups and situps at home Monday night, and my lower abs were still pretty sore/weak. My lower back to a lesser degree. My lower abs mumbled on the run, but nothing serious.

6.1 miles in 56:36 (8:50/mile) @ 155 bpm
(within a second total time of last week, 4 points lower in HR, maybe I'm recovering from Seattle.) :)
