yesterday I went running with the boy in the stroller. I don't have the front wheel locked so it's harder on the upper body since I have to work to keep it going straight. but the trade off is I feel I can maneuver it better. so I take the trade as an extra arm workout. I ran the same park as monday except I did the interior road, which has a lot more hills involved. I was able to run mostly up the hills. and I ran the rest. I feel good about that.
today I woke up for the early AM spin class. I'm always glad I wake up for spin. it gets my day going and I am so much more productive. the workout was good today. long climbs. I can already feel I've gained so much more endurence in spin since I started going more regularly this past month or so. we'll see how that translates to the bike. which I should be getting back from the shop tonight. so look out, road, here I come!

Sometimes it's a rough road to physical fitness and marathon readiness.
Every now and again I think I have a stress fracture on my left ankle. So what do I do? Crosstrain!
I recently bought a pass to Steiner Aquatics, aka the Salt Lake City Sports Complex. Sure, Steiner's doesn't have tons of equipment like a trendy gym might have. But what it lacks in equipment it gains in quality swim workouts!
I've been swimming Masters for a couple weeks now. It's like the old days -- swimming in the slow lane (we used to affectionately call it the "slacker" lane) with a guy on deck telling us what to do. Except for now it's not Jack Seninger, thank goodness! I was only going to go on Wednesdays, but now I'm swimming on Mondays as well. I think I'm going to get those quality, kick-your-butt-into-shape workouts that I need.
I'm also going to take some spin classes. And hopefully yoga and pilates if I can fit it all in. Because back in the day when I could run a marathon without training at all (and feel the best I've ever felt at the finish) I was swimming and biking more than running. I figure I can do that again here. Plus, maybe I could be ready for a few spring sprint triathlons! I'm going to be physically FIT!!
Famous Idaho Potato Marathon, here I come!
