I've never been that good at the "rest" or "easy" portion of training cycles. I swore up and down that this week would be a rest week, with a few days off (check), physical therapy, light yoga, and one or two easy runs. Absolutely no lifting, especially pull-ups. So what did I do yesterday, after my physical therapy work? A core/pull-up/pushup workout. Fortunately, or unfortunately, it felt great, so it will reinforce my tendency to ignore training plans and do what I feel like. I ran today and felt light-footed (though not lightheaded). So I hope I got enough rest, because it's over now. Today's unplanned resistance workout was only slightly less strenuous: flipping the girls over my head after they got a running start. For some reason the 30 pounder feels fine but the 40 pounder is a bit of a strain...
Next blogging task: list of top 10 runs ever
