Recovery week! I have been trying to go for walks and stretch daily, but it’s not always easy. On Monday, I wasn’t doing too badly. Tuesday, on the other hand, was a whole another story. I was getting winded just walking up the stairs! This was marathon #5 and I have to say that it hit me the hardest. Interestingly, my legs haven’t been doing all that badly. I would probably feel guilty for not giving my all if not for the fact that I know that I drained absolutely all of my energy and I am feeling it. I gave myself a full week off. In the beginning, I was too tired to even think about exercising and later, I had my daughter’s birthday party to organize. I still have been meeting my daily steps expectations (set by my Garmin) of 15k, so it’s not like I have been just lounging around. I have been trying to stretch on a regular basis, but that was a hit and miss. Definitely one of the crazy weeks! Come Monday, it will be back to eating well (holiday season was not kind to my weight) and regular exercise routine (note to self: ask Diana for the training schedule for next month).
