Re: Monday - Year of the Dragon

Chiro this morning...ahhhh...feels better...Rest day from running today but will do yoga afterwork.
I am tempted though to do an elliptical workout as we bought a used one yesterday, it is all plugged in and raring to do, so rather anxious to take it for a whirl! :D

Cross training during 1/2 marathon training Need advise

Yes I could do easy runs on the days I spin on the evening, that is a good suggestion.
