Over cross-training
On Monday I played cutthroat racquetball with two friends from work. I figured it would be a lot of fun and count as a easy cross-training workout, leaving me in reasonable shape to do my scheduled hard workout the next day (which worked out fine last week). Well, I think my enjoyment of the sport was writing checks my body couldn’t pay, since I ended up playing for almost 2 hours and 15 minutes and I was exhausted at the end of it. Today my joints/muscles (and lower back especially) are really sore. I hope I’m feeling good enough to run tomorrow night, but at this point it is still a bit up in the air.
I definitely need to set a time limit on racquetball if I want to ensure I can get a solid running workout in the next day.
