Sore legs...sore legs...sore legs.    Went to pilates this evening.  Legs are still real sore.  Was going to spin tomorrow but decided to hold off until more soreness subsides.

Just a little sore when I started out.  Stretched after 1/2 mile then fell into a rythm.  Felt really Great to loosen up and enjoy a run.  Getting siked about training for my next 1/2 in October.  My goal is to be my time (which shouldn't be too difficult, since my next race is pretty flat).  I'm adding core work and regular speed work to my work out to try and improve my AP.

Legs feel alot better now.  Spinning class this morning, 18.5 miles, 45 min.  Felt my right knee a little bit which made me worry about over doing it too soon.  After a few minutes my knee subsided and all felt good.  I still took it a little easier than normal (just a little).  Trying a class called "Chisel" this evening to work on core and upper body strength.

Did "Chisel" class last night and it had way more leg work than I expected or wanted.  I wimped out on the weights but since it was my 1st time in the class, I didn't know what to expect and didn't want to hurt myself.  Next time I need to add another 5 lbs to my weight bar.  The core work was grueling (thats what I wanted) so I have a lot of room for improvement.  Sorry to say, I could not complete one real push-up :(    In future reports you will see a change in that number.  

Ran this morning and did one mile of speed work.  Used the telephone poles for distance since my Garmin watch is not charging now (hubby has now dissected it and we are on the search for a replacement battery).  I would run fast for 3 telephone pole distance then recover for 1 telephone pole distance.  That speed mile went by real fast :) 

Not doing a long run tomorrow because Hubby and I are going to tour Gettysburg tomorrow.  Should be a beautiful day for it.
