Blogspot had some issues yesterday and tried I did but I couldn't get my post to upload.
No matter. I put in my 5 miles and then did some work at the boxing. I'm very, very tired. I skipped my swim workout today to rest, get some nutrition, and rest some more. I'm getting to bed a little late tonight, but I've gotten some good recovery.
I'm still on schedule with the running. I'm turning the miles over faster and faster. Yesterday, Gabriela Gallegos, the race director, my friend, and a source of daily encouragement, suggested I mention bricks.
Bricks are cycling-running combos. The point is to get used to the jelly-leg feeling you'll get when you get off the bike and put on your running sneakers in the race. I've felt that sensation before and you'll need to make the mental and physical adjustments necessary to make the transition.
I've brought up the issue of yoga, but if you can't into yoga, don't have time, whatever the case, don't forget to stretch. A lot of the time I'm just too tired to even want to think of stretching after a workout. But the truth is you'll feel better while you recover and at the beginning of your next training session.
I'm feeling good about the race.
