I got up early today to run with the gals. We did 3 slow miles in 37:46. My legs felt tight, but not in pain, so it was probably just what I needed to loosen them up. After that, I came home and did P90X Core Synergistics. I haven't done that workout since my diagnosis in Decemebr, so it was fun to try it out again - especially since it was SO easy! I felt pretty good about those things for my workout, and was planning to be done for the day, but...
This evening I decided that if I didn't do my Upper Body Workout, I'd probably end up skipping it, which would throw off my plan for weight training for next week. With the race next Sunday, I didn't want to mess up my schedule. So I went to the recreation center to get it in. Joshua came with me, and we worked out together. It's fun to be stronger than my 18-year-old son, but he is a good sport about it. He knows he could kick my can if he wanted to. :D Also, Ben wanted me to meet him at the pool so that he could run there. I wasn't going to swim, because I hate getting the chlorine in my hair, but...
I eneded up deciding I would do about 40 lengths, since I haven't swum at all since December. I thought it would be like starting over. But as soon as I got started, I could tell that I am a different person than I was three months ago. I swam 80 lengths at a faster pace than I used to swim, and it didn't even feel like I was working out! Getting stronger is fun. |
