Workout 13.2

EIE Challenge Tip of the Day 19:  Treat yourself with a nice relaxing Epsom salt bath.  It is only $1 for a 1lb bag at Dollar Tree.  Drop all of it in a warm tub and relax for 15 minutes.  Beware, you might have the best sleep of your life after.  See a list of other benefits here.

If you weren’t at Friday Night Lights last week check out the trailer of Workout 13.1!

 

Workout 13.2 is tough and will test your lungs.  The weight is light enough to make it a 10 minute sprint in order to score well.  Check out the video of Martina and Diso performing the workout yesterday and let the strategizing begin!  

 

And one final shout out to everyone running the marathon this weekend!  Post to comments if you are racing!  Whether you are nervous for the marathon or for workout 13.2, relax and don’t have a taper tamptrum!  Trust in your training and you will be fine!

ta·per tan·trum (tpr tntrm) – n. 1) a roller coaster of emotions and paranoia where you overanalyze everything  while tapering 2) the phantom pains, panic attacks, and other physical and mental symptoms that magically appear during a taper that were never present during training.  I stepped out of my car and my calf cramped up for no reason. What am I going to do about this weekend?  Dude, stop throwing a taper tantrum, you’re fine.

“The thirst you feel in your throat and lungs will be gone minutes after the race is over. The pain in your legs within days, but the glory of your finish will last forever.”
