There are Days…

spider

… when it feels as though you need to be stealthy and stalk a workout.

Today was one of those days.

I headed to the gym to really get a little cross-training done.  Mostly arm work – I wasn’t really dressed in my running gear, but out of habit, I jumped on the treadmill to warm up.

I started out at a good slow walking pace.  I picked it up a little.  And then a little more.  Next thing I knew – I was running intervals and WORKING TO GET A MILE DONE.  Certainly NOT what I’d intended.

Then I decided to split my upper arm cycle time into two 8 minute sessions.  The closest machine was the bike.  I hopped on and did a QUICK SPIN before I went back and finished my second 8 minutes on the upper body cycle.

A good stretch out – including the FOAM ROLLER OF PAIN to work out the knots of my IT BAND PAIN. There wasn’t even any crying! This is a very good thing.

So yeah – snuck that work-out right past the Spidey Senses!!
