Friday cross-training

Nothing too exciting here. Just 30 min on the elliptical (HR ave 138 or something like that) and then some weight training. Took it a bit easy on the weight amounts, because I haven't lifted in a week (!) and also because we have a club 5K tomorrow, and I'd like to not be too sore.

Weight sets (all supersets): one-legged squats with back on ball/chest press w/30 lb dumbbells (3x10-12 reps each exercise); glute exercise on ball (hard to explain here...it's from my coach, Jim)/rowing machine 70 lb (3x12 reps each); one-legged dead lifts (40 lb)/push-ups on ball (3x12 each); calf raises w/bicep curls (15 lb) - only had time for one set of these. Then abs with Lisa: plank, crunches, hip-ups for lower abs, V-leg extensions (lower abs), heel touchers for obliques. Finally, a good long stretch.

Edited to add: Muscles are all feeling pretty good today. Leg heaviness seems to have dissipated, thankfully. I'm a little sleep-deprived, as I awoke at 4:45 am and couldn't get back to sleep. Grrrrr! Will have to get to bed early tonight.
