Recovery day.

I spent all day skiing with my little family at Brighton. It felt great to be in the sunshine and out of the yucky air.

4 miles felt like forever this morning. I felt slow, heavy and still very creaky. It was much colder than I thought, so I was freezing this morning.

After the run, I planned on lifting downstairs. But as I was stretching, I realized that my muscles are not ready for weights. Still too sore.

My peroneals are a bit achy. I'm hoping to get a massage sometime this week. I love recovery weeks.

When my alarm went off, I turned it off and didn't think twice about it. Guess I was tired.

I finally got my hiney out of bed this morning.

Before workout:

Lunge matrix

Touchdowns

Cross over drill

60 sec plank

6 pathetically slow miles on the home TM. I have no spunk in my legs and 6 miles seemed forever long.

AP: 56:54

After workout:

Same as above

Quick stretch

Peroneals still angry

I ran on the home TM and caught up on some DVR shows and reading a book on my iPad. This is the most spring my legs have had in them all week. During the last 4 miles, I kept bumping up my speed. It was nice to finish fast.

Long stretch and foam roll. I got a massage yesterday.

My hubby is putting stereo surround speakers in the workout room and the room was full of ladders and tools. I ran at the gym....no good shows on and it has hot. I'm really spoiled with having a home gym and all it's niceties!

I got new running shoes and they are a tich too small. They were tugging on the tops of my feet. I guess that happens when you order shoes on-line.

Good run...did a few pick ups starting at mile 5.

My son had a basketball game, but all the girls were still asleep. So I hurried home and did my lifting in the basement (in the family room, not the workout room). I haven't lifted in a week and a half. Yikes I was struggling! That is what I get for missing!
