So, I was taking a rest day today, but by the end of work today, realized that a couple of quick trips out of town later in the week will play havoc with my workout schedule. So, while DD was at soccer practice, I did a 3 mile run. Legs felt really heavy today, probably wanted that rest, but pushed it out anyway.
The guys do have some great stories to tell from their adventure. Something about someone else needing to be rescued from the coast guard because the waves kept pulling them out further into the lake and this guy just couldn't maneuver himself back towards shore. It does pay to be physically fit! I think they've finally recovered a bit after sleeping in their own beds and eating non-dehydrated food. However, the hose still looks like a small tornado hit.
As for workout plans, here's what I think I've come up with:
Mon: rest day - stretch or yoga
Tues: am - Insanity, pm - ez run (per 1/2 marathon training plan)
Wed: am - Insanity, pm - UB
Thurs: am - Insanity, pm - interval run
Fri: am - Insanity, pm - LB
Sat: am - Insanity, pm - ez run
Sun: am - Insanity, pm long run
This rotation is based on conditioning for the 1/2 marathon, and throwing in the intense cardio to offset the lack of distance that I'm at right now. It's an alternative to 2/day runs while still getting me conditioned. The weight work is to try to keep some of the gains I got while doing STS, though I can feel them fading.
Heidi - Do you have a planned schedule/rotation that you are trying to follow? Yours are getting as mish-moshy as Wendy's!
Belinda - I get the feeling that you are still exhausted from the RT. I really, really hope she does finally make it to Chicago next year. How were weights today? Were your muscles just too exhausted to push hard?
Allee - Thinking of you.
Time to hit the sack. See you all tomorrow.
