Speaking of cross-training... I highly recommend ALL runners find something that is NOT running to do a couple of times a week. I sometimes do volleyball, sometimes swim, sometimes bike, sometimes hop on the elliptical, or I go for a hike, kayak (in summer) or play soccer with my kiddos. It is great to use different muscles and push your body in different ways.

Volleyball
Last spring I decided to get back into a sport I'd once enjoyed but hadn't played in a while. A group of co-workers and I formed a volleyball team and played in the rec league in Farragut for both the spring and summer seasons. I loved it. After taking some time off, I went back to it when one of my coworkers asked if we wanted to practice at his church on Tuesday evenings. I have enjoyed it and definitely improved my game. Tonight, there were SO MANY people there, but it was a lot of fun. Not as heavy on the workout end, because with so many people, there was a lot of taking turns, but it was great cross-training.
