… of strength training.
I need to break up the run and really work on other avenues of fitness to prepare for my Pgh Marathon Relay.
Last week, I completed 6.15 MILES on the STATIONARY BIKE.
I was actually able to get an 1.89 MILE OUTDOOR RUN in on Saturday afternoon. I did hills. HILLS. I ain’t scared of no hills.
Yesterday was Easter and my family [and church family] insists on giving me candy and chocolate. Yes, I over indulged. It happened.
I would like to keep my runs outdoors if possible and the weather looks as though it will warm up as the week goes along. But it was miserable, windy and cold [even snow about lunch time]. I knew I was going to the gym to get a work out in, so I figured I’d change it up a bit and do some biking.
After lunch, I was working and thought to myself: “I did 6 miles last week – I’m gonna do 10 miles today.”
AND THAT'S WHAT I DID. TEN MILES on the stationary bike. It was actually easier than I thought and I was able to adjust the tension to change gears every 1/4 mile while I was riding.
I haven’t done 10 miles on the bike since last August.
I also added 5 sets of 10 ab crunches on the exercise ball and some stretching.
GOLDEN for a Monday…
