I wanted to take some time off from running in the spirit of the "off season", so I went for a 10-miler last weekend...and then didn't see my running shoes for an entire week. But I still swam. Which? Is not the same as running.
I whined and bitched all weekend about how I hadn't run in aaaaages. How I missed it soooooooo much. How I would looooooove to go for a run right now.
Yesterday, I put my money where my mouth was and went for a run with Hottie Neighbor.
DUDE. I suck at running. It hurt. I was feelin' it at 4 miles. My joints. My lungs. WTF? I take a week off from running and my fitness level goes to hell??
So, yes, I'm back in the game.
Yesterday:
I did a strength workout at 6am.
I ran 6 miles at 6pm.
AND THEN I swam for 30 minutes. Not outside. :)
Somehow, I don't think this is what ELF meant when she talked about taking time off during the Off Season.

Damn, I'm so in need of a hottie neighbor to motivate me to go out for a run right now...
Way to get yourself back into the gaem.
What are you doing on Saturday morning at 9? Wanna come run intervals on the St. Thomas track in St. Paul with Borsch and I?
We can't promise Hottie Neighbor will be there, but we can promise the slightest gain in speed...
Oh, Pharmie might be there too. I'm trying to convince her.
