Not literally. And not the proverbial wall. But a wall of inspiration. I dont even know what I would call it. Where you get that rush and want to go further? I hit that today.
I did a 6 mile bike ride this morning. I wanted to go further but there was a parade in town so I decided to not do 2 loops. Fear that I would find myself in the midst of the parade organization or something.
I came home. Walked the dogs (I am dog-sitting). Had some coffee. And went out for a run/walk.
I did 3.53 miles on the run/walk. I did not have my HRM on but have synced the foot pod. I did 10 minutes of walking then I did another 10 mintues of walk 1 run 1. Then I hit some crazy inspiration... we will call it a good random selection of songs on the Stereophonics radio on Pandora... I dont know what prompted it but I started running longer and walking shorter. Bedshaped - Keane; Seaside - The Kooks; Pick a Part That's New - Stereophonics; Send Me On My Way - Rusted Root; 1901 - Phoenix... It turned out to be a great little run.
Then I spent a good amount of time stretching. I need to remember to do that more often. It felt so good to stretch out all the parts.
BUT WAIT - let's not stop there... In an effort to stay moving - I threw on my new bathing suit and headed to the Y to swim. I did a series - 100 breast stroke; 250 freestyle; 50 breast stroke; 250 freestyle; 50 breast stroke; 250 freestyle; 50 breast stroke... Total of 1000 yards.
I stretched again. Sat in the steam room a bit. Stretched some more. Showered. EarthFared.
Somewhere in there I thought - hey you know if I can ramp up my swimming over the next 2 weeks... I could do the Splash & Dash. Yes, I seriously thought this. Can you imagine? I am considering signing up for it and then going from there. I will see if there are still slots and the cost..
Insane!
