The last two days the weather was really nice. The sun was out almost all day and it was around 13 degrees.
On Monday morning right after I woke up (as my legs were still sore) I went for a regeneration jog. I did 30min very easy and enjoyed looking in everyone's front yard and checking their houses out. I never thought I could jog with a heart rate that low (at some times it was down to 130). It was really nice and I felt relaxed afterwards. I had breakfast, wrote some job applications, had lunch and did some cleaning. In the afternoon me and my boyfriend went to the beach for a walk and in the evening we went to the skating rink. We weren't sure if it would be dry or not but it was worth a try, only the back straight was wet so that was ok.
I was glad that the guys weren't there cos that meant I could skate my pace and didn't have to go too hard (remember, legs were sore! :) So we warmed up nice and easy, did some starts, some technique and then 6 400 meters. I started as fast as i normally do, but after 1,5 laps I felt like I'm gonna have to stop, my legs just locked. So I decided that I won't do the others just as fast. Besides, it was quite dangerous, I had to go into the corner not too fast to come out low so that I don't hit the wet and fall, then I had to skate through the wet and not go into the next corner too fast as my wheels were still wet and I had to wait until they gripped again.
I survived the 400 meters, so as a reward we went to Burger King for dinner, yummy :D
Yesterday was another nice day, but on my program was only 1,25 hours of off-skate. So I waited until the afternoon when it was nice and warm and headed out to Woolston Park. I used the jog there as my warm-up and started doing the off-skate. I thought it would be a lot harder on my legs cos after the frog jumps (witch was the second exercise) my legs felt sore already. I went through the workout all right thoguh and enjoyed the warm weather.
This morning when I woke up I felt my shins (do not ask me what from cos normally I don't get this from doing off-skate, only from running), so that was a bit weird.
Because it looks like it's gonna rain all day and the track won't be dry, I'll hopp on my bike (indoors) in 10min and do an hour on there (just eeeeasy) and then 1,5 hours exercises tonight, but just for my body from the waist up, I don't wanna hurt my legs any more.
