This challenge is doing me good! I have worked out the past 8 days in a row and feel great, although a bit drained and my legs are SHOT after two hard spin days in a row. Today was an easy, recovery 30 minutes on the elliptical at lunch, and some stretching.
I have not run since Friday, despite AMAZING weather here in NYC. It has taken A LOT not to get out there and run, from what I have heard, the park has just been crazy with the heat wave. My hip is feeling OK- still definitely sore and nagging, but the sharper pains that were prohibiting movement have gone away. I miss running :(
Plan for tomorrow is a double spin (1:45), then an hour swim. Hoping that taking it easy today on my legs will help get me through it.
Oh, and I found out today that there is a gym on the campus where I work (my employer rents space in a building on a University campus), and apparently b/c I have an ID, I can use it for free. Going to check it out this afternoon, if it has showers, etc, I may even be able to do some lunch time running on the East River in the spring!

Streaking Contest!
I have officially joined 'A Ticket to Kona's Streaking Contest'. The simple plan is to see how many day in a row you can do at least 30 minutes of 'health related exercise'. Unfortunately, I have already missed 1 day (Jan1), but being hungover, in the snow, in Chicago, and flying back to NYC, I feel OK with a Jan2 start.
This challenge will, if nothing else, help me to keep on track to build my base before my upcoming travels. I will spending about 5 weeks, (Feb 14-end of March) in India and South Africa for work, as well as some personal time interspersed. The timing stinks with St. Anthony's looming at the end of April, but hopefully I will at least be able to find a treadmill in my travels. With a half marathon planned in Cape Town on March 22, I sure better be able to find a treadmill!!
Hoping to get in the pool tonight, it has been a few weeks and I don't want to lose my feel, I had just started to get it back after my Oct/Nov hiatus from the water. Hip flexor is still sore, feeling better, hoping to get in a medium/long run this weekend, but don't want to push it too much.
