Today is a day off from work, and I feel strangely uncompelled to go after my workout. Compromising my workout schedule with my real life schedule is something I’m worried and excited about it. I have to play my cards right, use my energy wisely, and go for gold when I have the opportunity. That may mean waking up at 7 AM to run, or it may mean doing a few midnight runs. I foresee some power walking to work. At the same time, I feel wise enough to pick my battles carefully, go for it when I need to, and let it pan out.
Today was a light 30 minute bike and a stretch. I’ll roll out my legs and maybe do a set of core later on. I want to get back onto Ab Ripper X. I will rue this decision for two weeks, and then be so glad that I went for it. Nothing like a little vanity to throw an extra log on the fire.
Cross Training, Stationary Bike, 30 minutes. Legs didn’t feel strong but certainly not broken down. 6-8 miles tomorrow, bike Friday, first group run Saturday morning! May capitalize on the team discount for some new shoes. I think I’m going for some Nike Frees. I don’t know why I feel so compelled by the recent retreat to “barefoot” running, but I’m kind of hooked. Two pairs to rotate and I’ll be good to go through February. If I’m lucky, I’ll find some shoes that match my jacket! http://s.onlineshoes.com/images/br002/199987_366_45.jpg
