Almost 25% of the journey is over. What is it about last week that made me feel so fatigued?
Monday - Strength training with trainer but don't forget that it was a day after my 'back on track' 10K at the Pinkathon. Legs and lower body was todays treat.
Tuesday - Training at Kanateerva - Coach had returned from a new training himself and was all charged to experiment balancing on two of us - venky and self. And guess where or rather what, the balancing work out is supposed to work - the G word - gleuteus, the ass, the butt.. you get it. And I could 'feel' my backside for a few days after that..
Wed - trainer core and upper body. He loves crunches, leg raises… like half a dozen variations of them, planks - variations even there!
As I got on the plane on Wed night, I was secretly thrilled to escape working out. I am having super fun, don't get me wrong. It is just been a sort of exhausting feeling, that's all. And, the time in Mumbai was not spent twiddling my thumb either - even if I wasn't exactly spending all my time at some gym!
Before I got back the Active Holiday Company was appointed sole representative for the Bank of America Chicago Marathon. Second one of the World Majors. Yeaaa!
Anyway, returned on Saturday evening. And finally I went to the Contours' Women's Day run. I had registered for another 10K and my 12 year old Aprajita for a 5K (Gayatri too had registered for this race but she was sick and so she dropped out, after waking up for the race).
This was the day coach and I had discussed an easy 12K run for, but I am afraid that a small but painful wardrobe 'malfunction' led me to abandoning the 12K plan. This time it was my new pair of shorts that I didn't expect any misbehaviour from.
By the 4th km my inner thighs were chaffed enough to make me consider cutting the distance down to 5K but then I thought about the calories I would burn if I continued to walk a bit more or run a bit more. What did they all say after the race? G, you looked completely focussed. G, you were not in your element. G, you were so quiet.. basically G's thighs were paining - and it was not the good pain…
Anyway, glad that I completed the 10K. Before I close this week's update, I gotta mention the incredibly cute all boys dance by Runners High boys post the Contours race! I like it when the boys do this for us gals.. was super fun.. Such a lovely, intimate, fun race.. that was - chicken skin or bruised thighs.. this is one race I sure was happy to have run… Thanks Chandra for organising it for us Bangalore folks!!
