This morning I flew up to Detroit then took a cab to Windsor, Ontario for what is known as Windsor Week. In short, this is a week-long review for the CFA exam, thus I will be north of the border all week putting in mad study hours. I'm hoping to also get my running groove back. I started this afternoon by running through the University of Windsor campus down to the River Front where I ran the bike trail which offers a great view of the Detroit skyline (the GM buildings are pretty awesome and the GM sign is now a giant screen that was flashing the GM logo along with the Red Wings logo) and back. The total distance of this run was 5.7 miles.
After picking up some groceries from my dorm room (yes, it's back to college life this week) I jogged down to the University's gym and hit the elliptical machine and treadmill for over an hour and a half before calling it a day and jogging back to the dorms. The total distance of this second run was 10.1 miles at an easy pace. The good news is that I actually felt I could push off with my right leg today. My theory now is that it's more of a right shin issue and the ability to not push off with my right leg has been pounding my knee. We'll see how I feel tomorrow (fingers crossed).
In regards to my non-running workout I was able to get in 300 sit-ups.
