Decision Time

I have to decide what I'm doing this weekend. On Saturday, there's the Coaches vs. Cancer 5K, which is a fun race for a good cause. On Sunday, there is Tussey Teaser #2, which is an 11-mile run which I've really been looking forward to doing. (It's a point-to-point race, so I had been planning to ride my bike over the course first, and then run.)
Originally, the Tussey race had been scheduled for Saturday, so I couldn't have run both. I would have just done Tussey. Now, I could conceivably do both races. Physically, I'm sure I could manage it. But here's the complication: Sunday is also the last round of volleyball playoffs. If things go well, we'll play three matches. That's a lot of legwork, and I don't want to let the team down by showing up too fatigued.

My workout schedule for this week will be a little modified to have my legs most rested and ready for this weekend. I'll do intervals tonight, then lower-body tomorrow. That will give my legs two days of recovery before Saturday. Thursday will be upper body, and Friday is a light yoga. Saturday will include more yoga after the race. Then Sunday morning I'll just have to see how I feel in the morning.
