Today was low impact stretch day because after Tuesday's intense hills workout with my near-loss of consciousness I really needed to stretch out my muscles because it felt like my legs were two taught rubber bands ready to snap.
If you have never done intense yoga-like stretching, you cannot imagine how much of a workout it really is. Trying to stretch muscles that are in resistance makes you sweat like you're in a sauna.
And by the end of the 45 minute stretching session I could feel the blood rushing into my muscles, warming them up and lengthening out.
I am really hoping that today's 3 mile run will stretch out my muscles.
The best thing about this training has been my mental attitude. Every day that I get through a training reminds me there is another day I can add to getting my body and mind ready for San Francisco.
The taste of exhaustion was warm and inviting-my spot in front of the fireplace near the dying glow of heated firewood.
Keep my partner and I feeling warm by donating to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society!
