RunLikeYouStoleSomething: My poor upper body...

It's Wednesday night and 3 days till the 10k race! It has been an interesting week so far, Monday that was suppose to be my resting day turned in to a day with double workouts. Went to the gym in the morning to get a schedule worked out to get my upper body back in the game. When we were done Steve asked if I didn’t want to do a session while I was there. Of course I wanted. Did the cross trainer for warm up, I found that it is a lot friendlier to my shins and still get your pulse going! So after that we worked through my sad excuse for an upper body and an hour later I was ready to just lay down and cry. Haha, well, it felt great to be back on track again!

Went home and took a shower, worked and had dinner. At seven I went off to visit the boxing club. Was going to see the place, talk to the instructors and so on... Well, the very nice instructor Gary asked if I didn’t want to join since I was there. Yeah, what a heck! So after an hour of boxing (and Gary wasn’t easy on me just because I was new, or the only girl) my arms were shaking and my upper body had definitely had a choking first day back at the gym.

Well, I made Tuesday my new resting day, my shins were a big ass pain, guess from the sprints we did for warm up at boxing. Put on liniment before bed and a warm pair of sock and actually felt better this morning. Still decided to do the gym today and run tomorrow. So I went trough another hour of pain and sweat. But it was worth it, always is!

Is now trying to plan these 3 days before the 10k. Need to run at least once, but want my shins to be as fresh as possibly. Always balancing on a thin thread, not wanting to push to hard but still need to get the exercise to move forward. So I will ether run tomorrow or on Friday...To hell with the plan, I'm just going to play it by ear and listen to my body!
