So......
I cross-trained!
I used to use the elliptical trainer at the gym at Husson U. at least once or twice a week while I went to school there, but it has been at least 6 years since I have done that. I actually got a pretty good workout in today. I only managed to commit to 20 minutes and then did some weights in the nautilus room. In that 20 minutes I put in over 3,000 strides though. :-)
Now I am already feeling like I could exercise again. Maybe later today I will fit in some more cardio.
Running mileage total for this week thus far: 10.25 miles. Considering I did not run today, I don't see myself taking a rest day tomorrow. Instead I will do an easy 2 miler since I am doing my long run either Saturday afternoon or Sunday morning.
Mid-Coast Maine is supposed to reach temperatures in the high 40s this week!! Woohoo!

Do you do cross-training each week?
Do you make sure to take rest days?
Do you despise the elliptical as much as I do?
Work on treadmill 5 days a week and try to work in one more machine 2 days a week. Trying not to push to hard to fast.
ReplyDeleteProud of you mom for sticking with it and not getting burned out! Now we just need to get Dad back in the groove :)
DeleteI avoid the elliptical like its the plague. Usually my cross training will be a spin class.
ReplyDeletep.s. adorable first race picture.
I have yet to try a spin class. I need to go to one at my gym. My calves are very sore today just from that short time on the elliptical!
DeleteThanks!
