Once again, it's a little late, but tomorrow is a rest day before long runs on Saturday and a ride on Sunday.
Today I ran a timed 3-mile stretch and brought the time down to 27:40. I hope to shave more minutes off that time during the course of the month. Once I do, I'll feel more comfortable dedicating more and more time to my bike and swim.
I may have strayed past the boundaries of good training today, but in addition to the run, I decided to have some fun. I joined up with some friends at The University of Texas at Austin today for some basketball. I'm a firm believe in having fun while exercising.
Well, 2 hours later . . . I don't remember the last time I played basketball for that long in one stretch. But it was worth it. My heart rate was up, I was enjoying myself, and all in all, I think I put in an additional 3 miles on the court.
Rest and nutrition continue to be my themes. I found some really helpful tips on the internet, especially when it comes to eating post workout, which I talked about a little bit yesterday. Today I was quick to put down a smoothie right after basketball and then balanced out my carb/protein ratio. Lasagna.
Since tomorrow's a rest day, I'll try to find some nutrition tips, although with so much information out there it's difficult sometimes to find a reliable source. I'll do my best.
Hope you're having a good training week.
