I haven't posted for a while. After an emergency appendectomy at the end of November, I had to take some time out from running. I have spent the last few weeks getting back into my routine. However, the sidewalks have been icy so I have been jumping rope. Jumping rope has always been part of my routine but for a Christmas present to myself I ordered a custom skipping rope. Designed specifically for my height, arm length, jumping speed etc. I don't know how I ever managed with my old skipping rope. Jumping rope is a great cardio workout and a great way to cross train for running. It improves one's endurance, balance, and coordination. Today I jumped for 25 minutes...2 missteps.
Have a great day everyone and, as always, thank you for providing motivation through your posts.
