Cross Train Day

As I said yesterday, today was going to be a non-run day and I stuck to it. Instead, I got out of bed around 5:30, had some protein shake, put on my Vibrams and went to my gym (basement). Not easy to do sometimes on a cold Friday, but getting through 26.2 miles requires more than just running miles. Went hard at for 40 minutes, starting with jumping jacks, then pullups, bicycle crunches, lunges, core ball leg extenders, band chest stretch, one foot squats, burpees and planks (standard and sides). In between each exercise I did mountain climbers. Tough workout, but full body and rewarding. Finished up with some more protein and then shoveled the drive way. I had to go to work to get some rest!

Tomorrow, I hook up with the group I’m training for the Hampton Half to run 12 miles. Hopefully my legs are rested and ready! Should be fun. Been a good week after a slow start.

See you tomorrow!
