Weekend Off

Sue and I went to scenic Pittsburgh last weekend. We didn't really do too much in terms of exercise, and actually we did a lot of sitting, talking, and eating fatty foods. But an occasional break is OK, as long as it's the exception and not the rule.

So back at it this week, starting with a three-mile run with Joseph on Monday. Yesterday I did the lower-body strength training. And while I was definitely seeing spots after the 3rd set of knee-tuck jumps, overall I did not feel as well-trained afterwards as I would have liked. You know what that means: time to take up the weights!

Tonight Sue, Joseph, and I are going running. They will do three miles, but I need to do about twice that. Then tomorrow I will do upper body strength. Saturday I'm on a relay team for the Tussey Mountainback 50-miler. I get to do the always-challenging Leg 4, and then the relatively easy Leg 12. That's 10.6 miles total, at a hard pace. Should be good to build some endurance!
