Okay, here's a question for all you runners -- Does snow shoveling count as cross training? After the snow and ice I shoveled a few days ago, I heartily proclaim, "You better believe it does!"
So this past Friday, I definitely got in some cross training and by the next day felt the effects all over - my back, my neck, and my arms! I was too sore and too tired to run on Saturday. I bet I could have pushed myself, but it just wasn't in me. The next day, Sunday, was completely full of activities so I didn't run until yesterday, which was Monday. Once again I ran 3 miles on the treadmill. It actually was easier than last Thursday. I felt pretty good. I am hoping that by Wednesday, I can run outside.
And for more of this kind of cross training, I'd rather not! Give me a pool, give me a bike, give me a weight bench, but for goodness sake, don't give me snow, especially not ice, or the shovel to clear either of them away!
