This morning I ran 4 miles in the rain. It was an easy run, I didn't feel too challenged or exhausted at all. Felt pretty good all around. The cool weather and rain made everything so much easier. No wonder my times last winter/spring were so much better than they have been this summer. I can't wait until fall!
On a side note, my butt hurts from pilates last night. My usual instructor was out, so Janet subbed in. She did my bootcamp two weeks ago and told me that I was getting really strong (
). She's a personal trainer, but also teaches the lunch-time bootcamps and the Wed evening pilates class (I do Wed mornings). In any case, she took things up a notch from what we were used to in several exercises - we did extra glutes raises in what was essentially a reverse plank. On push-ups, the people who did full push-ups, like two of us, didn't just get credit for doing full push-ups..we had to do them balance on one-leg. Sweet. Good times. And on the side bend, she had us do the full-twist, taking it that extra step. We were also using the small 6 inch balls, so glute raises/leg lifts were done balanced on the ball, which is killer. I malpositioned my left foot the first time and ended up with a hamstring cramp. Ouch!
