Yes, I never thought I'd say I love Mondays, but I have a newfound adoration for Mondays! Mondays are my only rest day and I love it. Don't get me wrong, I love my training too. I've just been exhausted. All I do is eat, train, work, and sleep.
On Saturday, we swam, spun, and ran bright and early. Then on Sunday we ran 12 miles. About five miles into our run, my legs reminded me what I did last Sunday. My quads are taking a long time to recover from Gasparilla. Hopefully today's rest and tomorrow's cross training (boot camp and swimming) will help with active recovery.
In case you are wondering, here's an example of the schedule we try to follow. I say try because some days we just can't bring our selves to do double workouts.
Sunday - Long run (12-20 miles)
Monday- REST
Tuesday - AM boot camp (Marty spins)/PM swim
Wednesday - AM spin/PM run (3-7 miles)
Thursday - AM boot camp (Marty spins)/PM swim
Friday - AM spin/PM run (3-7 miles)
Saturday - EARLY AM swim, spin, run
Please help us save lives one mile at a time by supporting our Team Courcelle fundraiser for the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
