Get Back On That Horse!

Now that CIM is over, and the Higdon-based marathon training plan complete, it's time to look towards the future and do some preliminary training.

For marathon training, I'm back to the FIRST plan. That gives me a 3-day running week with 3 days of weight training, and had my first weight training day yesterday. I'm glad I haven't started marathon training yet, because MAN, did it do a number on my legs!

Yes, I'm currently suffering from DOMS. You'd think I was completely out of shape, I feel like I haven't done squats in months. Oh wait, I haven't. Nevermind.

Which brings us to today. DOMS set in and I've been sore all day. I was going to run at lunch, but my boss took our department to lunch, and honestly? I didn't complain. Whoops, I didn't have to run, and now I can blame the boss! Meanwhile, I let the DOMS subside a bit.

Tomorrow's another weight day, hopefully I'll be up to running on Thursday. If not, I'll run Christmas Day.
