Cross Training

When it comes to cross training there are three reasons why I do it:

• Injury Prevention
• Injury Recovery
• Adding Variety to Exercise 

In 2012, my brother Steve and I participated in a triathlon. The swimming and cycling was big for me as it was helpful in my recovery from a knee injury.

There are other reasons to cross train. Here are a few of them in a blog via runnersworld.com

Currently, I am cycling once a week in conjunction with running. I'm tempted (at times) to go swimming, but haven't made the "plunge" yet.
