Road to recovery.

Recovering from a long run is not always pretty.  Last night I didn't sleep well, waking up several times due to aching muscles and sore, sunburned skin.  Hey, I told you before that sometimes I learn from my mistakes, sometimes...eh, not so much.  Yesterday it was cloudy and gloomy when we left for our run, so it didn't occur to me to remember the sunblock.  Today I am paying the price.  Again.

(Don't be too jealous of my sweaty, no-makeup morning-time glow.) ☺

My attempt at a workout this morning was a bit laid back.  I sat on the recumbent bike and pedaled through episodes of The Biggest Loser and the results show from The Voice.  I did work up a sweat, but it was kind of an active recovery type workout.  Later today I think our plan involves taking our youngest and going to the gym, maybe for a swim, maybe I'll get some weights in as well.

Mid-week cross-training.

I was a bit sore and stuffy-headed waking up this morning, and honestly didn't feel like working out.  Of course, I did.  I started out with 15 minutes of Pilates, then I did 90 minutes on the stationary bike.  After that, I got on the elliptical for 45 minutes, and lastly walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes.  Now I think I might go take a nap, if my 6 year old cooperates. :)

This morning I started my day with 20 minutes of Pilates.  After that I did 45 minutes on the recumbent bike, followed with 30 minutes on the elliptical and ending with 100 sit-ups.  Tomorrow I will be attempting a long run of around 13 miles, and I'm really hoping we don't get the snow that's being predicted.
