And I'm already injured! Well, technically I'm still injured from last week's half marathon, but it still wasn't the way I wanted to start it all off. Oh well. My IT band continues to be sore so I think I will skip all running workouts this week. Tonight I did 60 minutes on the trainer in my new bike shorts (thanks Dad!) and used the heartrate monitor to keep me honest -- I definitely need to work harder at that because my heartrate was pretty low most of the ride. I had planned to do weights afterwards but decided to stretch instead, focusing on some IT-specific stretches plus using the foam roller. I might put some ice on in a minute -- that good ol' bag of frozen peas.
Otherwise I'm excited about training. This week snuck up on me after the holidays but I think I'll still be able to get some good workouts in. And if I can just get the knee to heal, I'll be off and running!
