Cross-training

Tuesday morning I was pleasantly surprised to discover that my legs felt pretty good. Almost no pain. I went to a spinning class Tuesday evening. Oh MAN did I push myself! It was so tough but it felt so GOOD! No other place motivates me like Spiece! Every time I get to go there it just pumps me up!
Today my legs are sore, but in a good way. I am supposed to run 4 miles today. I think I'm going to go this afternoon around 4:30. I just keep telling myself I can do it! Trying to push out the thoughts and feelings that say I can't. It's rainy and cold today. 44 laps around the track. oi vey! (do you like my French?!)

    You got this, friend. Add some new songs to your playlist. I have one song that I repeat about 4 times right in the heart of my workout. LOVE IT.

    Next week I will be able to join you! Oh - and let me know how your run goes. I will be checking in. :)

  2. It's a song by Muse. Butterflies and Hurricanes. Some of the lyrics are:
    Best,
    You've got to be the best
    You've got to change the world
    And use this chance to be heard
    Your time is now

    Change everything you are
    And everything you were
    Your number has been called
    Fights and battles have begun


    Don't let yourself down
    Don't let yourself go
    Your last chance has arrived

    There is another song without lyrics that is long and I use that too. It allows me to get in my bed yet keeps me drawn in enough so I don't go to the 'I can't do this' place. I can't remember the name of it but I will burn you a cd.

    Cool down/warm up:
