I dutifully hit snooze this morning and didn't regret one minute of the extra 2.5 hours of sleep! I worked out after hubby got home from work.
Elliptical - 1.5 miles (I went 5 minutes longer than last time and NO ankle issues - YAY!!)
Bike (20 minutes) - 2 miles Aqua run - 4.8 miles (48 minutes)
5 min warm up 2 sets of 2:30sec (30 sec recovery) (2 min recovery between sets) 5 min cool down I'd better get a move on my favorite part of the Olympics since they are over (though I didn't watch much, I more referring to the general theme of the Olympics): 1. I love to watch the athletes raise their arms when they cross the finish line (and to see the expression on their face). To me, this is the compilation of of years of training (physical and mental) and overcoming beasts (because they all have them). The "crossing the finish line" is the moment that they have been envisioning during all the training session. It is glory!
2. Singing the national anthem. This is the second "glory". To know you are the very best athlete in your country, much less the Olympic games, is a dream many dream of but few accomplish. I love to see them sing it and see the tears roll down their face (I'm sure many tears were spent getting to that podium).
3. Watching the "this is where they have come from" video clips. I love the music they always play. I love seeing them struggle and overcome. I hope someday to have my own video clip. Done. |
