cross-training

Today I did the elliptical for 30 min, keeping the workout short to minimize stress on my body. Then I did weight training: chest flys 65 lb/walking lunges 30 lb; one-legged dead lifts (20,25,30 lb)/lat pull-downs(70 lb); one-legged calf raises/bent arm lat raise (12 lb). I got to the gym a bit late (left my shoes at home by mistake and didn't realize it until almost at the gym) so that was all I had time for before doing some core exercises with Lisa: sit-ups on ball, oblique crunches on ball, back extensions on ball, plank (90 sec, building back up to 2 min).

I'm not as fatigued as I have been in general; that seems to be improving a bit even if my racewalking times are still lousy. One step at a time I guess.
