Amongst all my other things I have to do today, I have to get my training in somehow. Today's tactic is biking down to The Taylor Dock, then back up to the Farmer's Market and then back to Boulevard park for our gig. It's almost 7 miles for the entire trip. It seems like it's not a lot, especially since I'll be stopping at the Market to see my friends and have lunch. However, I will also be gigging, which means a lot of jumping around and possible dancing in between. I count all these things as "cross training".
Whatever you do that gets your heart pumping is good, but when training or focused on a goal (like weight loss), it's important to find at least one stretch of time that gets your heart rate in your training zone for at least 20 minutes.
Also, having mapped this route, I can see this is a possible long training run prior to the big race. Either way it's a beautiful day to get out in it.
My goal is to post daily, but I will be offline from Tuesday through Sunday. I will try to post something interesting when I get back. Until then, whatever gets you out there, hang onto it!
