Today I was supposed to get up at 5, head to the gym, do ten to twenty on the bike, twenty on the treadmill and then twenty in the pool.
However, life got in the way.
Last night my youngest woke up several times and had difficulty even getting to sleep in the first place.
My oldest woke up at 3 and, for some reason, could not go back to sleep. I ended up sleeping with her for a while.
When I woke at 5:10 I thought ok, I’ll give myself five more minutes of rest time. I woke up at 5:40.
Instead I went for a run. I did 2 1/2 and then did some sprinting. Unbelievably, this was the best run of the week! No sleep, tired, a little bit of knee pain . . . and it was the best one I had. I could have done four miles but that knee is scaring me. I don’t want to blow it and not make it to Long Beach this October.
So, tomorrow is another day. My plan now: Head to the gym for a short bike and swim. No running since Saturday is my nine miles. I’m worried what the bike may do to the knee. I hope it stays strong through this. I may have to look up some knee strengthening exercises.
If I don’t do the gym tomorrow, I’ll work on arms and abs and take it easy with the cardio. Maybe that’s what I need: A day off of cardio, since I have been so tired.
Well, the kids are up from nap and it is time to go do something.
Hopefully tomorrow morning will be better for the work out!
