I usually do yoga on Thursdays, but instead I went to the movies; Friday I wasn't feeling well, so I skipped my usual cross-training and weights and instead read a book all afternoon and ate two candy bars before bed. This morning I was feeling back to normal for the most part, so I hit the gym ready to make up for my laziness:
Warm-up: 30 minute "cross-training" session on the elliptical trainer
Run: 8 miles @ 74:40
Cooldown: 1-mile walk
Strength circuit & stretch
Yeah--I was at the gym for about 3 freaking hours! I was really dreading this 8-miler, and while it was hard and my body was starting to protest a bit by the 8th mile, it was far easier than I had psyched myself up for. I'm so glad there's only a 10-miler left to go before we can taper and relax a little (and then start all over again, of course!)
Tomorrow I may go to a yoga class at the gym, or just do some yoga at home, and other than that I'm planning to take it pretty easy. Tonight I'm just going to go for a long walk so my legs don't seize up as an after-effect of the run. And I'm going to hydrate like a mother--according to the scale I lost about 3 pounds in sweat from my workout today!
