Quick post, it's bedtime
I expected my legs to be sore from lifting yesterday, but they weren't bad at all. They certainly had plenty of energy. Only my right hip/butt and left quad were slightly sore. Today's run was a decent confident booster, since I feel like I haven't been doing enough fast running. I warmed up for 3 miles, ran 6 miles gradually faster (starting at a 8 minute pace and finishing at a 7+ minute pace), and cooled down for 2 miles. And I felt strong afterward, which leads me to believe that maybe I should have run a faster, steady pace. I'll keep that in mind for my next "general aerobic" run.
I also begrudingly swam a mile today. I felt out of pool shape and my right shoulder has hurt on and off since we went to Sandy Point a couple weeks ago, when I did something funny to it while stroking. I warmed up for 5 laps and then did sets of 5 laps. I didn't feel particularly fast or that I was gliding, but hey, I got 'er done. It's so much easier to put my shoes on and go for a run. And my face never feels like I had a face lift afterward. You know, that taut face feeling. My skin is so dry now. Well, time to go to bed so I can do some workout in the AM. Jury's still out on what exactly. Depends how the legs feel.
