Criss-cross-training

So my cross-training day was today. Late in the afternoon, I asked Bob what I should do. He said bike today and the swim on Friday. Eh. I don't want to do swim and then do my long run the next day. I don't know why but that feels just wrong to me. So I emailed Hank about it. He suggested:

Sun: Rest
Mon: Run
Tue: Swim
Wed: Run
Thu: Rest
Fri: Variable
Sat: Long Run

I emailed him back asking him about the 2 day rest and what he meant about variable and what about weight training (cause I wanna do calves lifts and hamstrings presses). He thinks that doing the bike once a week won't do anything for me. But I was on the bike tonight, man did I feel it in my thighs when I was done. Parts that my running doesn't get. But while on the bike I was reading my Running Journal and they say that I gotta put in some speed work as well. MAN. There's a lot that goes into this!!! And all I'm doing is just 5k's and 10k's! Imagine if I was running for a marathon or something! Eep! :-/ but I should make a list of the things that I read that are going to help me and post them for your benefit as well. :-)

I'm so glad that I'm getting fitter and thinking healthier this past year. My friend Jack is right. I would seem better suited for someone more into the athletic activities than anything else. I enjoy that a lot more right now than say the geeky things like computers and video games (not that there's anything wrong with that!!). So I think that's gonna help me in quest as well... Too bad Kroning is still not in the picture. Also, too bad that Y Guy won't give me the time of day... stupid Stupid STUPID boy!!!

And so on that note, I'm off for shower and bed.
