Cross Training

With crew starting back up, I haven't been running as much as I would have liked this week (it's not our normal schedule...so it will be a lot easier to get back on my regular training plan when we have all morning practices).  Instead, I have been looking at the work I have been doing as cross training.  We have been doing erging, stationary bikes, ab circuits, weights, and rowing in the tanks, and I am pretty sure running will be added to the mix tonight and tomorrow. 

When I have gotten the chance to run, though, I am still recording and journaling about it both in my Runner's World Training Journal and my own personal training plan.

Ms. G. mentioned a Buffalo Half Marathon on May 26th the other day.  It seems ideal- gives me lots of time to train, seems like a well run marathon, will be recent in terms of my presentation date, but it is also the day of a race.  This race is a 2 day race, but also the last race.  So, I'd definitely be missing the last race but could possibly race in a smaller boat the day before and have that be my last.  Kinda a tough decision, so I am keeping the Binghamton one on my mind as well.  Once my coach is figured out for crew I will discuss with them my possibilities for that weekend. 

Tomorrow is another mentor meeting and I am feeling prepared!  I have gotten in touch with the people I said I would, and done some research and more reading (see next posts)
