Much to my dismay, Lily woke up crying at 4:00 this morning. After rocking her back to sleep for twenty minutes, I decided I was wide awake, and might as well get my workout over with. I hoped that the kids would be asleep when I returned, and I could go back to bed for a while.
My leg ached throughout the day yesterday, so I decided to play it safe and incorporate a cross training day into my training. I have a feeling there will be many more cross training days before my quad is completely healed. I started with a half an hour on the elliptical machine, and then took an hour long spinning class.
When I returned home, the kids were not blissfully sleeping (Surprise!). Instead, Cole meticulously prepared his stormtroopers for battle, while Lily happily finger-painted her face with yogurt. I think this is why most athletes finish their sporting careers before they have children! It's gonna be a long day. Maybe I can talk my two darlings into a long afternoon nap . . . I won't hold my breath. |
