again, a weekly recap

monday: the standard four mile route + core

tuesday: 45 minutes on the elliptical

wednesday: I ran around the park because for some reason I thought that might be a good idea. see, when I run around the park I don't just run around the road inside the park, I actually run around the park. the perimeter. which right now is covered in snow, if you do recall. but it was a sunny day and the snow was turning more to slush and I was kind of slipping around. not so good for the ankle or the hamstring. I iced when I got home in leu of doing my core workout.

thursday: I walked around town doing some errands. and by that I mean I walked a. long. time. it was probably a few miles all in all.

friday: the day kind of slipped away from me without a workout. we'll just count it as a rest day.

saturday: twelve mile long run. and yes, it was outside. thank goodness! my left arch felt a little weird for the first few miles again, but then it felt normal. my right hamstring is bugging me a little bit. the legs were getting pretty tight by the end. to be honest, I didn't take an ice bath or even ice at all afterward. I ate and then jumped into a warm shower. my legs are a little tight today.

Hey there. 12 mile long run sounds like you're training for something... are ya? I'm training for the SLC Marathon in April, then my first tri in Daybreak in September. And maybe a half in between. You?

Sounds like a good week. Do you have a report on the core workout yet? Are you ready to share it and give your testimonial? I'm glad you're body is cooperating. My icing has consisted of sitting in the snow in the backyard and packing the snow around my knees. Good thing we have a fence. And I can't believe your friend Scotty trained for a marathon on a treadmill! That is almost unbelievable! That takes some real mental abilities that I don't have. Ten is the longest for me and I thought I'd die.
