Today is a rest day for me… after 2 big runs (big runs for me) I think I need a break…. I walked up the metro stairs this morning, and my quads could feel it….
I think I like doing a long run on Sunday and then follow it up with shorter 5-6 mile runs during the week. For now, I think I like that approach more than running 4 or 5 7-8 mile runs. I think I am less tired and look forward to the runs if I know I will be home in an hour.
On to music… for Lucia who asked about my iPOD.. it is filled with a bunch of ridiculous stuff... from the Jackson 5, Gwen Stefani (Hollaback Girl), Nike Powermusic, Nelly (I am #1), Blink182 (Are you feelin’ this?), Notorious BIG (ha!) and then there is Cher and Tina Turner….
How can you not run fast when you hear these Cher lyrics….
If you can give it, I can take it
'Cause if this heart is gonna break it's gonna take a lot to break it
I know tonight somebody's gonna win the fight
So if you're so tough Come on and prove it …
(yeah ok, I am a dork, but I will do whatever it takes to increase my speed and distract me while I run. Until I feel euphoric running, I will just have to settle for listening to Cher. :o) )
It seems that all my aches have gone away too. I had a great massage with a guy that incorporates stretching. It was so nice… Not cheap… but worth it. I hope to have an excellent run tomorrow. Take care! |
