Have a Goal for Each and Every Workout

 

Hi folks,

Short blog today, just to suggest, as several coaches and books have suggested to me, that the quality of your workouts will improve if you have a goal or purpose for each workout. You also need to take into account the state of your body that day. For instance, my long run yesterday (15 miles of rolling trails in the rain - loved it!), in preparation for theKiawah Marathon in December, left my feet and calves somewhat tired. However, my Cook, Zenith AAA-stent seems to be working fine (plenty of blood in my legs, and especially in my feet!), so I wonder if I’ll be the first person to run a marathon with such a stent?

Goals for today:
Bike trainer with PowerCranks: loosen up my legs and especially focus on loose ankles, dropping those heels.
Swim - work on my coaches instructions for kick (focus on hip extension and think like a fish), and again, loose ankles.

Happy workouts!
