Xmas Running
Today was another run. Actually, John warned me in advance that this would be a run heavy week. This makes sense, given that I don’t have access to a bike and even swimming won’t be that easy. Today’s run was Strides and skipping, which I enjoy. It’s fun to do the sprints and because I think that the skipping helps with ankle and leg strength and I believe it, I feel like I’m getting stronger when I do the skips. Also, because it’s essentially a three part run – warm-up, Strides, cool-down, and the Strides part is broken into eight “sets”, it’s a fun time. Today was also nice because it was absolutely beautiful. I ran in a tanktop and felt great.
