Today I am particularly fatigued. I'm blaming it on two days in a row of biking to work. I think need to space by bike to work days farther apart. That hill on the way in is killer. Plus I may not have taken enough rest after my crazy adventures in Lubbock last weekend. I guess I should listen to my body more closely.
Even if I don't get a lot of training done this weekend, I will be doing some physical labor. We need to get everything out of both kids rooms and get the carpet pulled up by end of day Monday. Tile arrives Saturday. It would be ideal if painting is well underway before tiling begins. Son's room needs painting to begin. Daughter's room just needs touch-up detail to be completed. I'll be keeping busy.
I'm thinking tomorrow morning might be the perfect day to take my bike in for some work I want done on it. If they need to keep it for several days, now is a better time than most. Yeah, that is what I think I will do.
I don't know about cross training, but it definetly is "good for the soul." Kinda like mowing the yard.
ReplyDeleteI haven't run at all this week and I am sufferin'. I can relate.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need to get away a little bit and do other things after a big race. Makes you miss it more after awhile..
ReplyDeleteI know also after awhile that killer hill will no longer be a hill after all.
You had me at "chips and salsa." One of my weaknesses.
ReplyDeleteI often cross train on my 50 year old house.
Your running is so awesome. I'll trade you my swimming and biking for your running. I suck at running. Your swimm and bike will come along fine, you'll see. keep it up.
How about branding calves - cross training? Actually I have some plans up my sleeves to get me out of it I volunteered for breakfast duty, and my best excuse - I brought my bike and need to put in some miles - got a big race next weekend...
ReplyDeleteHi LIsa - I'm a great believer in listening to your body when it says "rest" you're better off doing that then fighting.
ReplyDeleteAre we going to get pictures of your cross training extravaganza this weekend?
Check out Steve (http://iwannagetphysical.blogspot.com/). I think he would defintely say YES.
ReplyDeleteCross training is a way to keep you healthy. I think this would qualify as your legs and body need something different for a rest.
ReplyDeleteOf course it counts. And I'll have words with anyone who says it doesn't. ;-)
ReplyDeleteJust remember, you are a triathlete, not a contractor...so don't sell the cycling shoes for a hammer or anything.
I any muscles hurt, then it's cross-training. That's what everybody told me.
