The Taste of Exhaustion - Day 8

Today was a day for Pilates. Because my IT band is inflamed I am really trying to stretch out my muscles so that I don't strain it and make it worse.

It felt great today. I had forgotten, however, how strenuous Pilates can be. But afterwards it felt great to work on my core because that is what is really going to get me through those miles of the marathon.

Ok, so the TMI has begun because sometimes when you work out a lot after not having worked out at all, your system starts to clean itself.

So let's just say that I could have started a campfire with the gases I was emitting today.

But I digress. It was pretty funny because that use to happen when my basketball team would have a really tough practice. And luckily they weren't gas mask worthy.

All in all, I feel myself getting stronger every day and this strength is reminding me that I can run this marathon. And it will be doable.

Today's exhaustion tasted like muscles lengthening and strengthening.

Lengthen and strengthen your dollars today by donating to LLS support my friend and I's training for the Nike Women's Marathon
