We'll it's official...I am midway through the first week of half-marathon training. Have to say...pretty anti-climatic so far. Only one run completed at this point...and it was a 5k...much like every other early morning 5k we've been doing all along. Won't be long before we're amp-ing up, however....so I should be grateful for the familiar while it exists...
Not doing so well with the whole 'rest' concept, however. Monday was actually a rest day. No running, no cross training... Yet, I spent my lunch hour doing squat jumps, plie squats, walking lunges, rowing machine, a bunch of core stability exercises and sprints on the treadmill. Hmmm...perhaps not what was intended by the word "rest". Oh well...will likely do the same next week. And though I will be spending my lunch hour doing a different circuit training workout today...I'll also try to figure out 30-40 minutes of cardio to do...Because today is cross-training day :)
Running 6.5k after work tomorrow then another 6.5k on Saturday (sooo relaxed after a summer of 10k's) and an easy 4k Sunday... Ahhh.... relaxing almost :) In just a few weeks I'll be wishing for these days back, I'm sure :)
