I'm sure this will be a subject that comes up often...
I'm going to restart Week 3 tonight. After I ran Day 2 on Wednesday, I planned on running Day 3 on Saturday. I woke up Saturday morning and helped my friend Kim move kids into Belmont...and, after 3 hours of carrying heavy boxes up and down stairs, I was exhausted...and sore. So, no running on Saturday.
Sunday, I woke up...even more sore. So I figured that I would just restart Week 3 on Monday.
Monday morning. Still sore. Last night I went to the gym anyway. I knew I couldn't run, but I had to find something to do.
I hopped onto the elliptical for an hour while I watched the Titans game...I burned 700 calories...but guess what? Still sore.
Good for you on hitting the gym even when you are sore!
ReplyDeleteI started Couchto5k again last night with intentions of improving my speed. Couch to 5k helped me build up to running a 5k and now I want it to help me speed it up. My goal is to be able to finish a 5k in under 40mins by December. I have doing 3.5 walk/5.3 run intervals. Cross your fingers for me!
