| | 25 min stationary bike. 25 min walking on treadmill. yoga... don't have a total yet on this one ;) | | Comments(1) |
| | 60+ min yoga (most early this morning and about 10 min after my run). 1/4 mile warm up walk, 1 mile run (12mm pace) the rest of the miles cool down. 25 min on the treadmill total. Everything feels ok. My knees are funny, especially the one that had the HUGE bruise on it after the wreck. I am pretty sure it's from where the bumper of the car hit me. I'll have Brady check it out. The run was a hard mile. My body would rather lay on the couch ;) |

nothing today. My back was really tweaking Thursday. Ashley gave me a really good massage and that helped. I thought I'd better play it safe :p We did put all of the Christmas stuff in the attic. Oh and I did do about a million loads of laundry... and that is NO exaggeration! ;) ....ok, maybe a little :D | | Add Comment |
| | 1/2 mile warm up. 1 mile run (12mm). whatever was left for a cool down, 25 min total. Yoga until my back started to freak out. Ash beat it up a bit, but it is getting all excited again. It's like it is trying to dislocate a few ribs again. I have a cold and went to the eye doc yesterday. My eyes started to get weird again right after the accident. I needed to make sure that it was just this 40 year old thing and not related to the accident. He thinks its just the old lady thing and that my exam was normal. My prescription doubled :( I am going blind fast :( I get to wear bifocals now. I am not very happy. I hate my regular glasses enough. Would you like some more whine with your lunch? I probably have a little bit more I can find ;) |

I came down with a cold friday night :( I don't feel horrid, just tired and my nose is a mess :( I have been in the house so much, that I decided to bundle up and shovel some snow. I believe that so long as you are warm, some fresh air is good for a silly cold :) No other exercise because I was just plain pooped out!

The cold it still hanging on. I ate a good breakfast and decided to do the run. It was a 1/4 mile warm up and a 1.5 mile run with a bit more than a 1/4 mile cool down. 30 min on the treadmill. I was VERY tired on the run so I stopped for water and that helped. I think I hate colds :p I got a sourdough start for christmas and I have been having so much fun with it. I am making whole wheat sourdough bread tonight for dinner. It has cracked wheat and whole wheat berries in it. I am VERY excited to try it. If anyone wants a start, let me know :) note to self- there was a little tenderness on the inside of my left knee where the car hit me for about the first 3/4 mile. It wasn't painful, just bothersome.

1.5 mile run, warm up and cool down on the treadmill. Man am I out of shape. I am SO winded with the running. I hope my back keeps behaving so I can add a 3rd day of running in soon. Slow and steady sure is boring. My left knee still has the niggle. I got my new bifocals today. I hate them :p

| | 12:15, 11:42, 11:16(.5) I warmed up on the treadmill for 5 min then headed out for the 2.5 miles on the road. I had this horrible inclination to throw rocks at cars and make nasty faces at drivers today :( I think everyone was very nice and polite, I am just a bit defensive :( My left hip\lower back has an irritation. I'll bring it up with Brady on thursday. 7 min cool down on the treadmill. 45 min yoga this morning and now I'll do about 10-15 to stretch out the bod :) Man, this run was hard. I am SO out of shape :( |

| | 40 min stationary bike. 40 min treadmill walk. I am not sure on the treadmill distance because I was on the phone when I got off and remember seeing 2.__ but I don't remember what the something was :) Yoga followed. fun times were had by all. The run did not seem to make anything worse. I've got niggles here and there. |

| | The back and neck were not happy today :( I thought it wise to take a day off and just chill. I even took a nap today :) Ashley gave me a good back neck massage; I am feeling better :) | | Add Comment |

Will update my activity later, I just had to post about my doc visit before I forgot it all :) Everything is going well. The upper back/neck/shoulders is just being a baby. Brady gave me some exercises to strengthen the upper back and help to mobilize the thorasic spine. It's kind of seized up and refusing to play nice with the rest of my back :p The good news is that the upper back will not keep me from running :) We should be able to make some good progress with some work. Part 2- the SI joint and piriformis/sciatic nerve. This is also going to take a bit longer to heal. It very likely might turn into a chronic problem that I will have to learn to manage. The good news is that in the past month, through yoga and other stretches I have been able to manage and relieve the pain, both are good signs. It also might just go away too :D I am so surprised that the spine can have such a hard time healing and be so complicated. I mean really, I am SO lucky to not be hurt worse, but still I am surprised. Today, I've already run a mile with a 1/4 mile warm up. I need to go finish up to 40 min total on the treadmill. I am reducing the stationary bike to no more that 30 min each day on days that I don't run. I'm pretty sure that it is giving my SI joints problems; Brady concurs. Brady does not want me to increase my runs to 3 days a week until March. More slow and steady winning the race thing :) When I do start the 3 times a week, he wants that new day on the treadmill. So at least one day a week on the treadmill :p this has been SO hard losing all of my fitness. this is so hard starting way back here at the end of the line again. I wonder why my right shift key is not working???? Have a great day! Oh and I do have about 30 minutes of yoga planned along with the stretches and strengthening that Brady prescribed :) ..and the treadmill and stationary bike :)
