This blog has been quiet over the last week because my training has been going very slowly, unfortunately. Last week, work spit up on me, and I was drafted into doing massive amounts of cleaning. I guess that in and of itself was a physical activity, but nothing I specifically saw as training, unfortunately. Then I realized. Halloween 5K is in 4 weeks. Oh boy.
So, the things I have done -
Saturday - Went canoeing, actually! Hey, I figured at *least* it was a good upper body workout (and it definitely was that, considering how my arms have felt the last couple of days!), and maybe even had some cardio value. Three hours. Not bad.
Sunday - Rode my bike the 6ish miles into work. This ride is mostly downhill. I was extremely sleep deprived and sore, so I figured it was okay not to be *too* hard on myself. The ride took 40ish minutes, not too bad.
Today - I am feeling somewhat badass and focused today. I got up and ran for 16 minutes. (HA HA! I know, 16 minutes, but I'm happy with it!) 1.3 miles. Ok! I felt extremely sluggish at first, and my left (bad) knee in particular felt pretty sore. I was wearing the brace, and it didn't feel too unsound, just sore. So I kept going, and after a few minutes felt like I had a much better stride going. 26 training days left. AY!
I also rode my bike the 6ish miles into work again today. I was pretty tired by the time I was done, but I feel like I put in a good days work.
Constant Vigilance.
