aaahhh, the aftermath of a hard workout. lots of "vitamin i" later, my muscles feel a little better. i'm still not sleeping very well at night. sometimes this happens when i start trying to really train again. let's hope it goes away soon. met jess, kris and sara at forest park for an easy run. we were all pretty content to take it easy! we looped around some of the interior trails/paths in forest park. the very few parts that are actually in a forest. it was nice to mix it up, since typically we just run the outer loop.
afterwards i did my new "core" routine. i started last sunday. i am going to try to do it tuesday, thursday and i think saturday (or maybe sunday). ben and i bought some dumbbells from target. i went for the whopping 5 pounders. yeah, i'm weak. so today i did three sets of ten (i started off with one set, then tuesday i did two sets) of each of my little arm exercises. mostly just focusing on that shoulder area. then i did some crunches on the exercise ball. i hope that this will help me build some strength that i really felt i was missing with the last two half marathons i tried to run.
run: 6.25 miles + core work
time: 50 min
shoes: mizuno wave rider (301.5)
week-to-date total: 25
I can't believe you enjoy running so much! I wish I had your will power! Hope all is well.
