I woke up to a major thunderstorm this morning, so no running.  This evening I have a cross country team barbecue, so I decided to cross train.  Since I am recovering from the half marathon still, this was actually a good idea.  My left quad seemed pretty sore.  I rode my spinning bike for an hour and a half at a steady state, increasing the resistance every fifteen minutes.  I watched Meet the Fockers on the tivo while I rode.  Thankfully, the kids napped the entire time so I could get the workout in. 

 

P.M.  I ran the "fun run" at the team barbecue.  It was about a 3k.  I pushed Lily in the stroller.  Since she crossed the line before me, she was the winner.  8 months old and already won her first race!

I only had time for six miles until I had to get myself and the kids ready to go to Cole's pre-school parent orientation.  I ran 4800S to River trail and off at Millrace Park.  It was a beautiful morning, and I was surprised that my legs actually felt pretty good.  I have no soreness, just a little tiredness left.  So, I will run fartlek tomorrow to see how they feel when I go faster.  I'm glad that I cross trained yesterday to give my legs a little recovery.
