6 miles outside at lunch. Sluggish. Hot. Sweaty. Sluggish. Wimpy.

Everybody sing with me, "I've lost that running feeling, whoa oh that running feeling. I've lost that running feeling, now it's gone, gone, gone, oh oh whoa oh oh." I tried to run on the TM today at the Y but it was a huge struggle so I mainly walked while watching an episode of Longmire. 15% at 3 mph is a decent walk in the park. Not sure what my long term plans are to get back my running feeling, but it ain't gonna be through running. Thinking about figuring out the swim thing. I can swim just fine to recreate, but I can't swim laps to save my life. Like, I honestly couldn't do 10 laps in a lap pool. I would drown (even in a 4 foot pool). Boot Camp is good and maybe a good option but it frequently incorporates running. Not enough to be fatigued and enough other muscle groups to probably help the legs. Spin class is all legs and although different muscles, same muscle groups and they are tired. Who wants to teach me how to swim laps?

Jacob's Ladder is hard. I decided to switch things up and not run, so tried Jacob's Ladder at the Y and made it 5 minutes before dying. I then did the stair stepper for 15 minutes, followed by another 15 minutes or so on the elliptical. A pretty decent workout.

Noon Boot Camp. It was brutal but awesome. We partnered up and had to run the gym for 30 seconds each while our partner pulled on a resistance band behind us. We then switched, then did some sort of exercise - pushups, etc. Did that for 40 minutes. I was able to run pretty hard for most of it, so it has me wondering about my legs - are they ready for more? Maybe.
