Inserting a walk... To relax
WO: 4 miles, stretching, 1 set of my weight training circuit, jump rope.
Started early. Good beginning. 5 minutes walk, try to run. Easy start. After the first mile I take a walk since my body is feeling too heavy. As I start walking, I remember what I've read about walking, first it is not bad. So I take it as a relaxation lap... Watch the green palm trees, the cloudy but red sky as it is the sunrise (forget the camera grrr) even feel a fresh breeze over my skin. Breath and send air to my legs delivering energy...
Start over is easier, I put positive thinking on my mind, I am strong, I CAN do it.
Finished strong. Mental training, here I come again!!
After stretching felt recovered enough and did one set of 14 different exercises, to end jumping rope for about 5 minutes. Ended feeling very happy and with a sense of achievement, feeling strong!

I think that's what I need to do..try just walking with lots of stretching.
Glad you feel good about yours..
I like what you had in view while walking:)
Good to see you happy and positive Hilda. Sometimes it is nice just to relax and enjoy ;-)
Walking is good. Olga is a serious walker when it comes to races. That woman can walk as fast as I can run sometimes.
Fished feeling strong and with a sense of achievement. What a great way to finish! Sounds like you were recharging your mental batteries today.
Sounds lovely and what a beautiful description of your surroundings. It's so good when you feel that sense of achievement - that's what it's all about. Thank you for your comments on my blog.
You sound stronger already! And hey, slowing down allows you to enjoy that beautiful view, right?
Sounds like you enjoyed that session a bit more.
Well Down Hilda that is exactly the correct mental attitude to have!

Great job! Sometimes I enjoy walking with Pippin so much and just enjoying the breeze and the sights. It can be so relaxing!
I normally feel like walking is cheating but tomorrow I'm going to think of it as a chance to recharge my batteries so I can continue on strongly - thanks !
This is the right way to train. Enjoy every run!
