Training called for a light three to four miles yesterday. Usually I try to listen to how my body feels and make a good judgment call on whether or not I should run the day after my long run. I had a achy and pulling feeling kind of pain on the inside of my right ankle. It began about halfway through my long run Saturday and got worse throughout the day on Sunday. My brother-in-law's sister (Ashley) speculated it was probably from overuse so I decided it was probably best to take it easy and not do much of anything. It was a good decision I guess because today the pain subsided. Sometimes, it's just that simple. Rest.
I fit in a 35-minute elliptical workout this Labor Day evening. Lazy is one way to describe the holiday for me and I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. I've created a routine of doing the elliptical on Mondays when I'm supposed to do some type of exercise besides running. Working out on the elliptical allows me to break a good enough sweat, not to mention I really enjoy it. Reading is a hobby of mine so I like to take whatever book I'm into and read it during my workout.
I'll be updating my training schedule for the week tonight too. Give that a look if you want. I'm going to cut this one shot so I can get some sleep. Catch up with me tomorrow though!
Hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. I certainly did ... surrounded by family. :-)

- Ex-field hockey player turned runner! After school I started running to keep in shape. I ran a few shorter races until I played a hand on a marathon. I qualified for the Boston Marathon on the first shot and then qualified again. There's nothing like pushing yourself so hard for something that not everyone has the guts to do ... and experiencing a rewarding accomplishment. These are my thoughts when I'm hitting the pavement.
