For cross training, I weeded my flower beds. I am pretty sure that is not what is meant by cross training, but what the heck! I am also making bread. Thats got some arm work included, right?
I am eating my carbs and praying my running partner gets better for tomorrows Provo 10 miler. She just got back from Mexico and is still dehydrated from the humidity and heat. She's a nurse, and I am hoping she hooks herself up to an IV today ;)
Anyway- I am pretty nervous about the race. Two weeks ago we ran ten miles, and the first 7 were great, but the last three... well I am guessing i hit a wall of some sort. The week before we ran 9 and it was just dandy. I don't know what made the difference that week. On our 10 mile training run, we did go faster than usual, between 10:30 and 11:30 the whole time. I was impressed and happy with that, but, it felt like someone had beaten me for two days after. So... needless to say I am a little aprehensive about the run. I keep rehersing in my head over and over, "shady, downhill, slow is good, just have fun, no pressure." The devil side of me says..." must go fast or the pancakes will be gone!" I am constantly surprised at how ying-yang I am.
Good luck to all of you tomorrow too! Big day for us "fastrunningbloggers" |
