W9D1 (…but not really)

Sunday was an attempt to run W9D1. Nothing more and nothing less… On Saturday I decided to do some X-training. John N. invited me to play some tennis since he was in the neighborhood. Note: I played tennis once at age 14…

we played tennis for 2 and a half hours! I didn’t realize we played this much but on Sunday my body was aching. So many new muscles were activated I barely could walk… Still I decided to go on a run, hoping it would be okay but my body stopped me at mile 2.5

I still finished the 3 miles but the last half mile I had to walk. Just couldn’t do it. Once again a sign your body needs some rest to recuperate from an intense workout. So I’m counting last Sunday as a dress rehearsal for Week 9 which I probably will start on Tuesday.
