Sunday
- Running Rest Day – Sunday is my running rest day. Other than having a nasty fall during the run on Tuesday, this was a very good week. 48 total miles, and I felt good through most of the runs. Very pleased with my pacing. Here is a summary of the last 6 days:
*Monday: 12.1-miles / Tempo Run
*Tuesday: 6-miles / Tempo Run
*Wednesday: 5.7-miles / Trail Run
*Thursday: 7-miles / Track Workout
*Friday: 4-miles / “Barefoot” Recovery Run
*Saturday: 12.2-Miles / Marathon Interval Workout
- Cross Training – I tried again tonight to do P90X: Chest & Back, but still no luck getting through it with my wounded hand. I tried doing the pushups on yoga blocks, with fists, on my fingers, etc. but no dice. Anyone have any suggestions on getting through a push-up workout with a wound on the palm of my hand?
