Not gonna lie... keeping up with the Xtraining is getting tough. My hip/ITB flares and makes me wonder if I shouldnt do legwork, just stick with upperbody. But then I know that isnt right- still feel like pain is a weakness. Literally- stronger legs = less pain from the hips and knees. So, GOTTA get back to it.
Did yoga fusion and a Tabata workout. Odds and ends here and there- no overdoing it, but can feel the tightness.
12 mile run went soooooo well! Took a GU at mile 6.5, last 5 miles just flew by! Even had to pass my house as my route was too short. No prob, ran by- circled back- and still couldve kept going. LOVE these runs.
Doubt is creeping in as the excitement is waring down a bit. I may feel good at the end of 12, but could I go and run that route again? I mean really, could I just take a water break and do it again? I dont know, really, dont know!
Easy week, kinda itching to go onto 14... But experts have made this plan, and veteran marathoners have assured me that rest weeks are important. Good thing- weather stunk and had to move to the tm. Knocked out the easiest 6 on a tm I have ever done! Just barely made it over 60 minutes...
Obstacle- Wednesdays.... If its not the weather, its mental. I am tired and out of ooomph on this day. So far, I take it off and am rip roaring ready to go next run. Hmmmm, gotta figure something out here!
COME ON SPRING!!!! So tired of this *bleep bleep* snow and ICE :((
