This morning I did P90X legs and ab-ripper routine. I skipped "back" again, since I'm not equipped with a pull-up bar where I work out. I'm going to have to figure out how to rectify that situation... Anyway, I followed that up with a 5K run with my daughter Britnee. I'm really proud of her. She's decided to train for a half-marathon in January, and has put together a training schedule that she's been really good about following. We ran slow and easy - 35 minutes total, taking one minute walk breaks after every three minutes of running. It was enough for me to work up a sweat, even though it was FREEZING cold this morning!!! But not so much that it will affect my marathon. This weekend will be interesting. Since I've been racing every weekend, I haven't really done any training, because every day feels like a recovery! I have no idea what to expect from my body for the marathon. It would be fun to set a new PR - I feel pretty confident that I can do a sub-four now. But I'm not sure that it would be a good idea. "Patience, grasshopper!" There is always another race. I don't want to kill myself off with an injury by doing more than my old bod is capable of yet. I think I will just run what feels good at the marathon, and maybe I'll get a new PR, and maybe I won't. Either way, I plan to have an incredible time!!!
This evening Ben and I went to the rec center to do part of a spin class. I ended up spending 42 minutes on the bike, and logging 10 miles. I also did a few back exercises to make up for this morning. After the gym, we went to the pool and I did a modified version of my regular pool workout, adding an additional 500 yards to the swim, for a total of 2500 yards. I'm feeling my gluts tonight! I hope I didn't overdo.... |
