Tennis, anyone? 1 set.
Thursday 6/19
Leg presses at gym.
3-mile pacing run with exhausted embarrassed .25-mile walk. On treadmill.
10-minute swim.
Walk home. Realize there is no appreciable difference in dampness between swimsuit (wrung out) and sweat-soaked gym pants.
Out of sports bras.
Legs burn.
Note to self: The "rest" part in your half-marathon training schedule not only "don't run," but "don't do other sports."
Friday 6/20
Butt incredibly, unbelievably sore. No, really sore. Calves sore. Pinky finger sore.
Tonight's workout plan:
Booze.
