Stairz

Stair climbers.  I thought this sounded like a good idea.  I ran/walked up 10 flights and back down 4 times in 25 minutes.  It took me longer than I thought it would, but what a great cardio workout.

Well, That was a poor decision.  My calves have been hurting for the past 3 days.  I wake up at night whenever I move my legs because it hurts so badly.  I used to run stadiums in college and it wasn’t that bad.  Am I getting old??? 

I’m getting nervous about the hills in San Francisco.  We did 12 miles in the hills in Clermont the other week and I felt miserable… 12 miles… nowhere close to 26.  After the soreness I experienced from Tuesday, I haven’t worked out all week.  (I’ve also had a fever the past two days, so that’s the other reason).

This Saturday we’re running 15 miles.  I hope it goes as well as last week’s 13, or better.  Every week I tell myself I’m going to get my running in every day, but it’s really tough.  I get home from work, I’m tired or I have errands to run or I want to hang out with friends.  I think week day runs are tougher than the long runs on Saturday.

Just like every week, it’s Friday, I’m nervous about tomorrow and I wish was headed to happy hour, but I know I’ll feel good after I finish tomorrow.

44 days left to marathon time.
