Days 17, 18, 19 & 20
Sorry for not posting sooner.
As Friday is a day of "rest" on the training schedule, I spent the day delivering canisters to various businesses for the collection of coins for the LLS.
Saturday I ran for 7 minutes on the treadmill (not quite a mile since it included a 2min walking warm-up), before Ethan began to protest and I had to stop. So I stretched and took him on a run around the block instead (probably about 1 3/4 miles). That took me about 25 minutes. Then I went to the zoo and, although it was fun, by the time I got back I was EXHAUSTED!!!
So Sunday I stuck to the schedule's required 30 minute Easy/Recovery run..... sort of. I ran 2.75 miles in 30 minutes, plus a 5 minute cool down walk. I also did extra situps and back strengthening exercises.
Today (Monday= Day 20) the schedules calls for either another day of rest or a day of crosstraining. So, I plan to do everything else first (fundraising, housecleaning, etc.) and then if I have the energy and time left by dinner time, I'll do one of my home videos. It's fun to switch it up now and then. Either way, I'll make sure to fit in SOME toning exercises.
