Weekly Training Update: 11/11-11/17

The good news is that my legs are starting to feel like my own. The bad news is ... there is no bad news. I feel like I had a solid week of workouts that honored my body and effort I put forth at Veterans Marathon.

I spent a lot of time on low impact, low intensity cardio. You know, the stuff I tend to eschew - elliptical, bike, walking on the treadmill. I also did a lot of things in the gap between dropping off Miles at daycare and going to work so that I could give my body some extra sleep. When that didn't work out, I hopped on the treadmill after Miles went to bed.

It didn't hurt that I'm trying to get up to speed on season 4 of "The Walking Dead." I figure if I'm going to spend all that time in front of a screen that I should be moving as I do it. Only two more episodes to go!

By the way, did you know that Danai Guirira, who plays Michonne, is a fan of Jillian Michaels' workouts? I was listening to a Jillian podcast during which Danai was a guest, and she said she will put in a JM DVD in the morning. So, it seems, doing 6 Week Six-Pack will land me on TV. Obviously.
