hyannis-bound taper (way) down, the strength-training and stretching edition

distance: 1.31 miles (this morning's route)
time: 26 mins. 09 secs. (20:53-miles)
weather: 27F, mix of sun and clouds
surface: asphalt
music: run mix 4 (2.15.09)
pre-run eats: banana, mug of coffee, cup of water, two hard-boiled eggs, two pieces of buttered toast, one with jelly

i try to strength train on off-days, here’s a glimpse: three sets of pull-ups, five reps each; three sets of push-ups, 10 reps each; six sets of deep knee bends, 20 reps each; six sets of calf lifts on step stool, 120 reps each; four sets of crunches, 50 reps each.

my hips and glutes have been consistently sore and achey, so i'm looking for exercises to target those areas. fellow runner Laura sent me these. and with today’s storm on the move, you may want to check out these winter-weather running tips.

Thanks Danny and Caroline! I'm now over the $2,000 mark, a big milestone!
