Returning to running: Week 2, Day 3

I did an unconventional work out again.

I missed my run on Day 2 and didn't have time to work out over the weekend.  Rather than completely abandoning my last two workouts, I walked with my wife for about 1 mile.

Then I got home and shoveled the horse shed and chopped wood for about 45 minutes.  This type of work is far more anaerobic than aerobic but it does leave me breathing hard.  Since I'm doing the work outside, it also helps me acclimate to the weather outside.

I did not wear my heart rate monitor but based upon my breathing and level of fatigue, I estimate that I did get my heart into zone 4 during this period.
