I didn't sleep well last night. So it was with great weariness that I pulled myself out of bed and hopped on my bike to do my 8 miles. To be honest, I had planned to do 12, but since I had an unscheduled biking day yesterday, I decided to take it easy. Immediately after my ride, I ran two miles. It was really hard - I can tell I'm going to have to practice going straight from biking to running more often. But, as per Sasha's instructions, I'm going to take my training up a notch, and try running six days a week, instead of only three. My legs were really tired, but I feel good about what I accomplished. I'll try swimming tonight. I love having this blog to be accountable to. Otherwise, it would be WAY too easy to talk myself out of a workout! :-)
As a side note...I actually got emotional this morning reading on the home page about calling myself a "fast" runner. I have often felt that kind of emotion when I think about being a wife, a mother, and about my music and performing. It is as if deep down inside I KNOW that those are things I was BORN to do. Could it possibly be that I was born to be a "runner" as well? I have felt it occasionally on my runs - the feeling that I am reaching up and discovering that I have unlimited potential, and I was born to be really GOOD...not just average. I love that feeling. I'm going to chase that feeling. Who knows what wonderful things I will accomplish? I'm excited to find out! |
