Because i want to get better i decided i need to cross train some and allow my body to heal the rest of the way.

Today i pulled a poor Fritz impression and tried to make friends with the Stairmaster. I learned that the stairmaster is not and doesn't want to be friends. It hates you. It can be hard And can punish your quads and calves. So i pushed it for an hour and got some work done. I'll feel that tomorrow. Thanks for the info Fritz :).

Had a great session at the chiro tonight as well.

I think that rest is the most important and often overlooked aspect of training amongst dedicated runners. Good call on cross training.
