If Only Every Day Could Be Like Today
Sunny, sixty five degrees, little to no wind...I would be one very happy camper. Today was the epitome of what kind of weather I love. I think that is why I love the fall so much, this is the kind of weather that typifies fall weather.
This afternoon I ran 10 miles. My legs were a little bit tired from last night's workout. Of course, I got tired after the point of no return. I have not done a mid-week 10 miler since this time last year, so I was not really sure how I would feel. I did finish it in a decent time for the course. The more disturbing sensation was the sloshing in my stomach. This is something that I am notorious for, I have even been asked who has the hollow leg becuase it gets so loud. I started out in long sleeves with shorts, I know it was probably too much. I was comfortable for the first 7 miles, then I got warm. When I took off the long sleeve shirt to run in my sports bra, I was cold, but that was better than being warm. On my way home I saw my former training partner, K, who was laughing at me because she had on long sleeves and long pants! When I got home, although I was tired and tight, I did four striders.
I went to the gym and rode the bike very slowly for half an hour. After I lifted some. I have not been too happy with the definition in my arms, so I'm changing up my routine some. Instead of doing higher reps of low weight, I'm doing lower reps of a higher weight followed by one set of low weight high rep. Of course, I am such a weakling that my higher weight is still pretty wimpy. I could feel I was straining and working harder than usual. I hope that throwing this in for two or three weeks will help in aiding the definition in my arms. Either way, I'll be sore tomorrow.
