Cross training and 2nd day rest update

I cannot emphasize how important rest days are but you do need to make sure you have enough of your protein drink in you so your body can really take advantage of recovering.  On Sunday(cross training) we headed out to the swimming pool for some lap swimming, aqua jogging, and jacuzzi time.  It felt wonderful; I have always loved swimming anyway.  Monday we improvised the training program due to Mark's work schedule, doing a complete upper body and core work out with cardio last.  Our cardios were; Me a hill workout on the treadmill 2.12 miles at 9.26 pace with 5 minutes of level 5 hill incline at 5.5 speed and a 10 minute level 12 elliptical.  Mark did a 4.50 miles at 9.13 (6.5) pace run on the treadmill.  He did excellent and I am so proud of him.  We are feeling GREAT, thank you JESUS <3. Keep the goal of your prize set before you as Paul said, always and every pressing forward towards it!  Happy trails to you on your life journey.


Because of Jesus,
