Today I went for a run for my dog, Cherie, in order to strengthen my legs and gain endurance. We ran a couple miles/ about a half hour. My legs have been aching after practices because I'm not used to holding them so straight or so bent- there's rarely an in between. I am preforming a routine at the end of the month, which isn't very long to learn, perfect and have enough endurance for. My stamina will increase with my skating 4 hours a week and dedicating time to running and conditioning through the week. I also came home and did Pilates because in figure skating you have to work from your core a lot and have good balance. The 30 minute Pilates tape I did should help me become more toned and aware of my body, I am going to continue to do that as well as yoga and other conditioning exercises so I can reach my fitness potential.
I'm so excited for my routin, but right now my legs feel like jello and the ice is the last place I want to visit right now...I think I'll climb into bed :)
