Day 54 - rest day

Yes, a rest day today. :) Not very restful to be honest as I worked all night at the restaurant for the grand opening, but never-the-less I was able to soak in a little sun today. I also biked around the city a lot, and I think that helped my legs quite a bit. Only unfortunate thing is that I actually burnt the bottoms of my feet simply walking on hot cement around the pool, and now have to contend with absolutely horrible blisters that make walking VERY difficult. Thankfully it's not a running day, because I wouldn't be able to do it. I spent the majority of my time at work behind the bar so I didn't have a lot of walking that I needed to do.

I failed to mention much about my run yesterday, and wanted to share. I had the small group that I ran with read one of the stories on my blog yesterday before we ran. I think it helped us to focus on our run...and certainly remind people why we run. It was a difficult training day because we did speed training - a slow jog to a lagoon that was 1km around, and then three different full out runs around the lagoon with 2 minutes rest between each before we jogged home. It was really difficult, but it was great because I am really beginning to see that my fitness level is increasing. It doesn't seem unnatural to be doing this much running - it's becoming habit.
