Just Staying Flexible
I had intended on going swimming last night on the way home from work. I even rode the streetcar into the middle of Karlsruhe so I could catch the connecting streetcar to the swimming pool. But as I got off the first street car I noticed my wife waiting for her streetcar home. She was looking white as a ghost and when I asked about it she said she was feeling sick. I decided my swimming would have to wait until another night and rode with the poor girl home. She almost immediately collapsed on the couch and stayed there the rest of the night. This morning she was feeling a 100% better and thinks that it was something she ate for lunch that was giving her trouble.
I ended up taking advantage of the warm weather and spent a couple hours cleaning up my shed, which has been badly neglected since I started running. Does this count as cross-training ;-)
Tomorrow (Saturday) morning I want to get up early and go for about a 3 hour run - nice easy pace with a 3 minute walk break every 5K, which is how I want to run the 50K in two weeks.

Man, I hope cleaning the shed counts!

Now, that's a good husband. That counts more than cleaning out the shed.

Good call on your wifey! I think she felt better because of you going home together:)

You can definitely count the shed cleaning as cross training. Just watch out for falling objects.

Happy to hear that your wife is feeling better. How is her job search going?
Have a great run on Saturday (oh ... it is already Saturday in Germany) ... so I should say, I hope your 3 hour run went well this morning. I assume the great weather is holding up for you.
