Workout: rest/cross-training

Wow! Any training program whose first day begins with "rest" has got to be a piece of cake, right. In reality, I believe part of my overtraining in 2003 included too few rest or recovery days, so I am encouraged that my new schedule includes several of these per week complementing the longer runs and more intense workouts.

So, to kick things off, I began slowly as prescribed, with a leisurely 45-minute bike ride around Alexandria. In addition to the mild exercise, I stopped by Episcopal High and TC Williams to inspect their track facilities, for future reference.
