First workout after marathon - much needed

Posted in Cycle at 6:30 am by luluorange · Digg! this story.

As much as I needed the rest and I did rest. I also know that the soreness of my muscles badly needed some blood flowing thru and the only way to get that is to work out. Spinning is a good alternative of non-impact workout. Boy, am I glad I did it! The knots and stiffness I felt in my legs were gone when I got off the bike at the end of the class. Once the muscles are warmed up, I got to do some really deep stretching that I was longing for. I walked out of the gym feeling like a new woman! Huh……

Journey of a runner

You pretended the snooze button didn’t exist. You dragged your butt out of bed while others slept. While others ate their pancakes. You had a feast of protein, glucose and electrolytes. You doubled-knotted. You left the porch light on and locked the door behind you. You ran. 5Ks, 10Ks, 13.1 miles, 26.2 miles. Some day more, some day less. You rewarded a long run with a short run. And a short run with a long run. Rain tried to slow you. Sun tried to microwave you. Snow made you feel like a warrior. You cramped. You bonked. You paid no mind to comfort. On weekends. On holidays. You made excuses to keep going. You questioned yourself. Played mind games. Put your heart before your knees. Listened to your breathing. Sweat sunscreen into your eyes. You hit the wall. You ran through it. You decided to be a woman about it. Finished what you started. Proved what you were made of. Just kept putting mile after miles on your internal odometer. You are a runner. You do it because you can. You will do it for as long as you can.
