Oh man, I am so tired and sore. I haven't been this tired and sore for a LONG time! The strike class on Tuesday left me with some seriously aching muscles, the back of my body and arms are the worst, and when I started running yesterday it was a struggle just to move my arms to run. Today I was just tired and slow. My first 4.15 miles with Sandra were okay, I finally felt decent around mile 2-3, but by then she was getting tired and then the uphill mile home was just too much for her and the pace got slower. I find it amusing sometimes how she is always off and running the first couple miles, but I'm just shaking it all out and getting warmed up, then I'm ready to go and she is petering out for the run. Complete opposites! AP: 10:04 splits: 10:04, 9:33, 9:42, 10:57, 10:12 (last .15)
Took off on just another 5K loop, I needed some faster miles and just a few more for the day. I didn't pick up the pace much, but I was moving a little faster anyway. The effort really seemed a lot more than the pace was giving me. I wish I could have recovery 'slow' days like some of you at 7-8mm!! But, I don't get that - I just shuffle along... AP: 9:27 splits 9:21, 9:41, 9:21, 9:01 (last .1) Came home and did "The Shred" L1 - a good short workout. Just enough to push, but not too much (I needed THAT today!). Thank you sweet sister for my favorite birthday gift!! Headed to the gym for Yoga. Holy Moly - could you cram a few more people in that tiny room? It was very crowded, but a good class. Much more intense than I'm used to. I prefer Wendy's stretching yoga - I still miss my gym :( I was called out about 3/4 of the way through because my baby was fussy. I got him to settle down and sleep so I went back for the last 10 min then did some stretching on my own afterward. I'm definitely ready for my easy day tomorrow!
