I ran yesterday and I want to run tomorrow, but I don't think I'm quite ready for 3 consecutive days quite yet, so I didn't run today. I'll increase to 2 and maybe 3 consecutive days next week and then go from there until I get back to 6 days/week.

I was surprised how sore I was all over yesterday, especially in my abs, from doing No More Trouble Zones on Wednesday. So clearly I have gotten weaker in those areas that that workout uses, because I used to be able to do it with no problem. So I did it again today. I want to keep some strength training going as I ramp up my miles in the next little while. It may or may not improve my running, but I like to have toned muscles overall. I do think that a stronger core, especially, helps with running.

I shudder to think how sore I'd be if I got out my old workout videos. Do you have any Arnica Gel? That stuff is great for muscle soreness!

I do have a cream with arnica in it. But I'll be fine. It's just that DOMS that you get after doing a new exercise for the first time, or after a long hiatus. I'm actually much better today, though the workout this morning was tough.

HAHA! We think alike. You are sore from something so you do it again! I left you a note on my blog about chiropractors.

You're so smart about your recovery.

I'm happy to see that you are taking it easy even when you are feeling better. I think in the long run you will be better making sure you are fully recovered.

From Tracy on Fri, Jul 31, 2009 at 13:01:09 from 24.1.33.250

Good idea on getting some strength training in while you're recovering! I have a love/hate relationship with that muscle soreness!
