Remember when I posted a few weeks ago about how I was thinking about running a 5K on top of my Century Training?
Yeah, well I'm pretty sure I also posted that I decided to run it. I can't find it right now. But I wanted to tell you all that I have confirmation that I'm nuts.
Today, after doing our century training, I waited about an hour. Ate some watermelon, drank some chocolate milk and watched some M*A*S*H while I waited. Then I got back up and went out to run TWO days worth of training.
That's right. TWO DAYS. I ran the third day of Week 5, and the first day of Week 6 back to back. 55 minutes.
And I'm going to do it again tomorrow, and finish the last two days of Week 6.
Then I will be caught up and only running 3 days a week.
So maybe I'm only partially whacko.
But the great thing is, is that I felt great. I rode hard, ran so long and worked my legs to the bone. But after both, and in between, my legs felt great. Sure now, my knees are a little swollen and sore, but my muscles feel fine. Adam is still recovering from our long ride on Sunday, which is crazy! I'm usually the one who is still lagging a day or two after.
This is wonderful! I hope that this continues and I keep getting stronger and stronger.
WOO!!

What 5K training program are you using?
@Sarah @ ExPat Bride I am doing the Couch to 5K program. I really like how it builds you up to the long run, it does what it says, builds you up slow so you know you can go!
