Saturday, Mar. 24 Workout
I've been a bit lazy here lately; however, life and work has done a number on me recently.
It's late in the afternoon here in Vancouver, British Columbia. I just finished up an hour and a half on the elliptical machine (EFX 524 ... more of a stepper) watching Ohio State defeat Memphis as well as the beginning of Kansas and UCLA game.
The first half hour, I did an interval routine and then for the hour, I started out with crosstrack of 16 and incline of 12, went down one on each every five minutes until I got to 30 minutes in and then stepped back up -- finishing as hard as it was when I started.
So, that'll be enough for me to go run the Mercer Island Half Marathon tomorrow down in the Seattle area. Right?
We'll see how things go. I really don't expect much. Anything under 2:24 will be miraculous for not having run at all in over two weeks. The textbook would say though that I'm completely recovered from the marathon that I did three weeks ago in Alpharetta, Georgia. (What's crazy about my life these days is that *that* seems like about six weeks ago.)
But, yes, I know, the textbook also doesn't say, "Well, hey, let's just go run a half marathon for something to do!"
I suppose I could go run 13 or more miles around the Vancouver area, but what fun would that be. Sure, I'd get a workout, but I may not push myself as hard as I'd like.
Besides, I need the motivation - especially proving naysayers wrong. :)
