Monday i forced myself to take the day off from everything but work. No gym! This week is recovery week on my triathlon/marathon schedule and this time I'm going to recover, usually I just keep plugging away by doing crossfit, running and whatever else comes along. Not this time, it's to close to my marathon to get injured, so I'm in recovery week, I took Monday off, today I ran for 50 minutes which felt great, I'm still sore but the run went well once I got into the grove, that took a while but once I got there I didn't want to stop. Wed I'll be at crossfit, Thursday I'll take off, Friday I'll be at crossfit, Saturday isnt planned yet and Sunday I'm going to take Maggie to my group run, I might bring Lilly too. My diet has been ok, Shelby wrote back and said to add more protien. On Sunday I did my 15 mile run and didn't eat ver well, meaning I didn't eat enough during the day but had my cheat meal and it was SOOOO yummy. Monday I was sore as hell and today I'm sore but in better sperates.
I'm going to bed to get plenty of rest this week. Goodnight.
Recovery is important... something i need to work on. I am trying to force myself to take 1-2days of full rest per week.
ReplyDeleteKerry, definitely add that protein. that was my problem too. I lost fat lbs but also lean muscle which isn't the right way on the scale. good luck! see you tonight at CFW.
