More cross training

Adam Wainwright is on the 10 day disable list for some kind of elbow issue.  Major league baseball thinks 10 days is a good amount of time to be disabled.  I have not run for one week.  It is driving me crazy.  I was going to try to run today but Jim said I should wait until the race on Friday to give me more time to heal.  I should give it 10 full days just like Adam Wainwright.  I reluctantly agreed.  Friday I will run easy.  It's just a fun 5K.  Jim said I could run a 5K in my sleep.

Today I spent 40 minutes on my elliptical trainer, did runner's yoga and myrtle.  It's still not like running outside.

In the mean time my slug sister has been working her butt off training for her marathon this weekend.  She is a little worried about the heat.  She has not had a chance to train in the heat or even in slightly warm weather.  Last year I was at Sherman Beach one day getting ready to run.  It was about 70 degrees.  There was a man also starting a run.  I was dressed in shorts and a tank. He had on thick tights, a long sleeve, a jacket and a hat.  We got to talking and he said he was training for a race in Arizona that was going to be really hot.  He was trying to get used to running when he was hot.  I haven't seen him since so I don't know if it worked.
