Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured

I am in India and resting my IT band.  I was so worried about how this trip was going to affect my training for Boston, but in reality it could not have come at a better time.  I am stretching and trying to help it get better.  I might try a little running tomorrow and if not at least some cross training.  

Happy Running!

Well I found where they moved the treadmills from my last visit.  They made a brand new nice fitness center at the hotel.  This is a good thing.  They have hidden the controls to the A/C and have it too warm.  This was a bad thing, nothing like running in a sauna.   I stretched again last night and was actually feeling really well.  I started out just to see how I felt and while no major pains there were a few aches along the way.  I am happy though with the run and especially the pace.  I am sore now, so I know that I need to stretch more.  I am going to try to get into a routine of stretching after the run and again at night to help these issues.

Happy Running!

I decided to see how I was holding up after yesterday and I made it about 1K before some pain set in.  I had only planned on 5K today and that is what I got in, but it was enough.  Still more stretching is needed and I will probably take off a day or two from running.

Happy Running!

My plan to take a couple of days off is going really well despite any of my efforts.  I forgot to turn my alarm on last night and so I slept and slept.   I slept until I heard some noises in the hall and I was getting upset and thought who is making so much noise so early in the morning.  I rolled over to look at the time and it was 2 hrs past when my alarm was supposed to go off - Who knew I could sleep that late.  My schedule is all messed up because I go to bed around 3 am and then get up around 9:30 - 10:00 am  so that I can be to the office by 1pm and work until 2 am.  Crazy!  Oh, well... Rest is good.
