The Start Of Cross Training
So I did my usual run on Tuesday morning, this time however it was very very cold since it's been rather cold in LA this week. Usually on Tuesday there are about 4 of us running, this week there were only two, perhaps everyone else was smart enough to stay in their warm beds. Well hey I got my day started early and felt great the rest of the day.
On Wednesday I took my first ever Yoga class in an effort to start cross training, and I have to tell you all that stretching felt terrific! Not sure how much it does for exercise, but it felt wonderful so I'm really looking forward to going back. I did however, feel a little awkward on some of the positions and well still have a lot to learn, thankfully there are others in the class that know what they're doing so I can watch them.
Thursday I did my usual night run with my group. This run felt great and I felt like I could have kept going for much longer than we did. However, I didn't want to over due it since I've signed up for the Los Angeles Half Marathon this Sunday. That's right, I decided to go ahead and attempt my first ever half marathon. This is the first annual LA Half marathon so I'm pretty excited to be there for it's inaugural run.
So nothing too much to report right now except the blisters are pretty much gone and the knee hasn't been hurting lately. Hopefully I can still say the same after Sunday's Half marathon. Anyway I'm sure I'll have more to dicuss at that point.
