Week 17 - Tuesday

Mother Nature tricked me today. I wanted to swim after work, but the forecast was ugly and it was raining in the morning, so I didn’t bother packing my swim gear. It rained all day, but by the time I left the office it was beautiful out and I could have gotten in a swim after all.

Disappointing, but I went to the gym instead to get in some weight training and a short run. It was fun to lift weights for a change, something I’ve not done much of for the last few months. I went through two full upper-body circuits using free weights, super-setting to get my heart rate up.

Once I was finished, I got on a treadmill for a short run. My legs have felt pretty heavy and sluggish since the marathon, and the tough brick last Saturday didn’t help with that. I need to get them loosened up again. I ran just two miles at a 7:30 pace and felt pretty good. Something to build on!
