Ok, so whatever happens on Sunday happens. I think I'm just getting a little burned out from training and I really do need this race to spice things up. The weather is supposed to be cool, and it has cooled off today, so I'm going to trust the forecast for the weakend and know that even if it's 90 degrees, I can still finish the race.
My schedule calls for a 5 mile run today, but since I did my strength workout this morning, I moved the run to yesterday. I went to the park, which is where I always go when I'm just not in the mood to run. It's rugged, shady, (hilly), and different from the usual routine. I did a tough 3.35 miles with an average pace of 13:30. It's amazing how the trail will force you to slow down! Based on the difficulty, I called it a day even though it was less than 5 miles. I don't want to be sore for Sunday.
This morning I went to the gym for a slightly sluggish workout. I warmed up about 4.5 miles on the stationary bike and stretched. Then
Single leg military press standing on the bosu (2lb ball)(opp. arm and leg) 3x15, 15 SS Single leg hip lift on bosu 3x15, 15
Leg estension (15) 3x30 SS Hyperextensions 3x15
Pushups 3x15 SS Squats (bosu) 3x20
Rebounder (7lb ball) 3x35
With that I think I'll call it a day. I'm just about to find out what a horcrux is in Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. I promise not to tell, so no spoilers in my blog please.
