I don't know what has happened to me over the last several months, but something has caused a switch to be flipped inside of me. I've become more involved in working out than I ever have before. I think it's a matter of never being involved in sports growing up and realizing that I really missed out on a whole different side of myself that never had the opportunity to show until now. I'm feeling healthier, I have toned up and I've discovered a competitiveness in myself that I love. And, to top it all off, I am re-learning things about my personality and drive that have been hidden away for quite awhile.
As I mentioned in my last post, I did a 2 hour spin class yesterday. Today, I followed a similar routine, heading to spin with the intention of only staying for an hour since I had to run later in the day. Well, that didn't happen. My ischial tuberosities didn't want to get off the saddle any longer than the standing hill climbs and jumps called for, so I stayed on the bike and spun my little heart out for another 2 hours.
Later in the day...
Andrea, Amina, Adam and I ran the reservoir loop and logged 6 miles ... in the rain.
For those of you that may say I am overdoing it before the race, never fear. I am not going to continue the back to back to back workouts. I will be tapering down over the next 3 weeks and will likely keep my mileage below 10 for any given run. This was really just a case of pushing to see how far I would let myself go and to see how I would feel once it was all said & done (so far, pretty damn good). I suppose only the next couple days will truly tell. I am expecting my legs to send out an S.O.S. signal by morning.
Tomorrow: rest
