Tuesday Peak day, Monday night rainy run

After work today, I went over to the Peak centre. Started a new program for my strength and conditioning workout. Most of it was similar to what I’ve been done before just more if it. Doing push ups on a medicine ball was interesting. That took a little getting used to.

For about 45-60 minutes, there were scads of teenagers working out for some hockey program. After they left, it was very peaceful. I get spoiled on the nights that it’s quiet over there.

After the kids left, I did some yoga for a bit as well tonight. This was a good addition to the workout. Need to do that more often. Also made sure I used the rolling pin tonight on my quads and my upper back. I “smile” a lot when I use the rolling pin. Okay maybe the smile is a bit of a stretch. It’s good for me, so I try and do it as often as I can.

I was considering doing a pre-work yoga class tomorrow. Unfortunately, I need to be at work too early to be able to take in the session. I want to try these pre-work sessions and see if I can work them into my program. I have a feeling that I’ll feel better throughout the day if I do these.

Last night I experienced a deluge of rain during the last part of my run. What can you do? Once you’re wet you might as well finish the run. At least it wasn’t cold. There’s nothing worse than a cold November rain. Still the run was good. It was another “easy” below zone 1 run. As I was mentioning last week, I need to keep this run easy. It’s key to being able to do the harder runs on other days.
