The long term goal

days off rule!

ahhhhh....a day off today.  after four very tough workout days in a row, it was much needed.  yesterday morning, denise, my trainer (who i previously referred to as D. reason i was only using first initials for people's names are because of the fact there really is no security/privacy on these blog things, at least that i know of.  but she said she didn't care if i said her first name.)  anyways, denise took me outside for a run, which was really nice.  i love running outside, and its WAY harder than running on a treadmill.  which is good because i need to build up my stamina for outside running since races are not inside on a treadmill!  plus of course she made me do some other stuff but overall it was a good workout.  then, about an hour or so later, i started feeling really crappy.  just really worn down and blah.  it was weird, it felt like my body needed something but i wasn't sure what.  and i felt like that all the way until i went to bed.  i decided to make a dr. appt next week to talk to him about making sure i am getting all the vitamins and nutrition i need while i am training for this thing.  worse thing about yesterday was after i started feeling crappy, i all of a sudden became very discouraged.  like i wasn't really going to be able to do this thing.  i got very cranky, ask mike haha.  but he's good at getting me back on track.  he's my rock :)  


good day off, rested my sore body. back to the grind tomorrow.  spin in the AM and weights afterwards.  and my little cutie has her yoga class.  we heart the Y.

  1. Way to run on Wednesday!
    We are 1/2 way thru the run part Jess, and I know you can do it...no worries here.
    Everyone needs a day off so I hope you enjoyed!
    I just kicked your butt outside and that was your 4th day in a row...let's face it, you haven't worked out that hard as of yet, you are doing more and more every week,and at a more intense pace... so I did expect you to be tired.
    It's good to go to the doc just to get checked out and make sure everything is A OK
    BUT
    Think positive Jess, rest, drink some gatorade (think you are dehydrating), have a little treat and I will see you next week.....
    You rock!
