First time wogging at the REZ and I like the route...easy to follow, not like Clinton. I was wireless today...no ipod, no cardiac sensor, no watch and also no partner as Kristy is in GA. Didn't mean to be so wireless but I am not a morning person and wasn't all that conscious when I left the house. I found the 7 miles to be fun and not too bad. HOWEVER, oh my gosh, I have been wiped out ALL afternoon. I am sure it is because I did not keep up with my training this week and I am paying the price. I need to listen to the podcast from the Sat. meeting I missed about getting in cold water. I got in a tub of warm water and it felt wonderful but I am so-o-o sore right now...can't imagine how slow I will be moving tomorrow...that is if I can move!
While I was wogging I was visualizing myself packing carrots, celery, radishes, apples, orange slices, a turkey sandwich and the like into a cooler and taking with me everyday in the car as I drive around on the job. (I don't mean all that in one day!) Running intervals prompted those thoughts because it is not easy to move this poundage forward in a running stride, albeit a slow one. Especially on short legs...you know I have to make twice as many steps as you long-legged lucky ducks. Tomorrow, although I don't want to drive over there, I am going to Fitness Lady and pump some iron...gotta get more muscle so the calories will burn better, the legs will move easier, etc. It is early but I just may finish up my day the way I have spent the afternoon...vegging out. I feel sorry for those of you with children because there is no chilling out with kids around. But then you have more energy than me...hopefully!

My vegging out time is called: Brennan's nap time. That time of day is always what keeps me sane. I saw you today and said hey as I was passing, but you looked like you were concentrating really hard and I don't think you heard me. Go pump some iron tomorrow!!!!
I'm finally getting some "rest", if you can call it that. I ended up grocery shopping after the run, then strolling around the neighborhood with the kids.
Cold water releases the lactic acid from your muscles, it works. I don't take baths (so no cold baths for me) but a cold shower works as well.
I came home and sat in the tub. I turned the cold water on and let it slowly rise until it covered my legs. It was tough but I knew it would work. I am not sore today at all.
I read in Runner's World that if you go for a long run and are not able to do anything else the rest of the day except veg out on the couch, you have defeated your purpose. I was like you though, I was too tired to do anything and then went to bed at 9:30. Hopefully, it will get better!!
Short legs are a bummer, aren't they!
You are doing great Cheryl. You have great determination. You keep me pumped up!

Hey! You are doing great! Training everyday has definitley helped me not feel so wiped out after the long runs. My hardest distance was 5 miles and I missed some training days that week. 6 and 7 miles have been much easier than 5 was because I haven't missed any days. I missed running with you too! It goes by so much faster when you have someone to talk to!
P.S I didn't mean that you looked like you were concentrating as an insult. I meant you just looked like you were in deep thought about something. Like I get. Anyway, hope you didn't take that the wrong way! Sorry.
