Here and there

Monday, May 20, 2013 · Mike Davis

Returned from a short vacation and some needed rest. I purposely did nothing but push-ups for the 5 days we were away. I have pushed myself pretty hard for the past 5 plus months and most everything was tired or sore. My legs have been really flat the past few weeks and it will be interesting to see how they feel when I head out tonight for a short run. I strength trained this morning so tonight will be a bit of a bonus as I run out to the track to meet Ashley for her workout. Fresher legs has certainly revitalized me quite a bit and also has me ready to get out and use them! Normally Monday is not a run day, but having not run since Tuesday of last week, I am eager to be in my running shoes for their intended purpose. Running does that to us, we (runners) can only go so long before the need for being back on the road is overwhelming. You know that feeling righ? This weeks featured workout is something I don't put enough emphasis on. 'Strides' are a fantastic addition to your weekly workouts. The beauty of strides is that you can include them as a part of just about any conversational pace (CP)run. Check out the featured workout and you will have all you need to add strides! My assistant has informed me that we are very close to creation of our bi-weekly newsletter! Pretty exciting news for NFLR, but I can't even tell you what all will be included! So I am as excited as you all at seeing what it will look like and how it will benefit the running community! Stay tuned. Have a great week!
