Patience is not one of my best qualities :( The quad is not happy with me. It really likes it when I do nothing at all. I wrapped it tight and it seems to like that :) I want to go swimming in the morning, but I don't want to get it all mad at me again. Why can't I go back to the days when I was happy to just lay around and not do any form of activity??? (I am kidding ;) I will never go back to 255# Marion again!!!!!!!!!!! (is that enough exclamation points?) Relax, chill, enjoy, chill some more, relax.... breath deeply :) Have a GREAT week everyone!

35 minutes swimming. 15 minutes without my legs and 20 with gentle leg :) The quad felt much better this morning. I will bandage it again and see what happens :) Hopefully the swimming did not make it mad.
20 push ups, 60 crunches

I slept in this morning :( Funny thing, I missed the pool time. The quad is for sure on the mend :D No running for this week :( but I should be great for next week ;D I am going to do laundry and clean house today.
Have a GREAT day!
Training plan for the rest of the summer:
Monday- 800 swim, 5 mile run w/ 5k tempo
Tuesday- 3.5 mile run, 13 mile bike ride
Wednesday- 800 swim, 6 mile down the canyon run
Thursday- 3.5 mile run, 13 mile bike ride
Friday- 60 minute swim
Saturday- Long run: 10,13,10,15,10,13, etc
***Next week's running will be modified, ie- 2.5, 3.5, 3.5, 4, 4, 5 or something like that as I figure out if I am all the way healed:) Then I will blast into this bad boy schedule :) I will do the swimming and biking, although maybe less mileage on the bike :) | | Comments(12) |
| | 55 minutes of swimming. Man, that was HARD and awesome! BUT... more awesome than that is that MY QUAD IS ALL BETTER!!!! No limp, no pain when taking the stairs, just tender to touch and kneeling is not perfect yet (so is that not "all better?"). I am SO excited to run on Monday :) Yippee!!! Happy day for healing!!!
Have a GREAT day! Love to you all!!!

55 minutes of swimming with Double D, 10 of those were pool running. The pool running was DORKY!!! It was like one of those dreams when you are running and can't get anywhere. I must be doing it wrong :p Any hoots, I did a 50 in 40 seconds at the end of our work out, which is not great, but not too shabby either. David's high school record was 22.9 ;) Next week I will do it at the beginning and see what the difference is. It was hard today after yesterdays workout. I can't wait to run next week. My upper body is TIRED!! I can kneel with some discomfort, which is BIG ;) It is only slightly tender to the touch, but hardly at all.
Last night- 80 crunches, 25 push ups. Questions about the crunches. For the criss crosses and the side ones, do you count one for each side or one for both sides??? The count is 80 if it is one for both sides and 120 if it is one for each sides ;)

| | 2.2 REAL miles of actual running :) The quad was FANTASTIC! It was not sore at all this morning and so I decided to take it out for a spin. Now my left hip was complaining a bit. That left ITB is SO tight. I will stretch everyone and let everyone have a nice day off tomorrow :) It felt SO good to run :) The swimming is KILLING my shoulders :( Not fun. I am hoping they will give up soon :)
