Patience, the NEW Endurance Sport!

90 minute bike ride with Michelle. As always, I am SO glad that she drags me out with her. I am really fighting full on depression and being very active works wonders. Michelle is the best friend, seriously!

I ran one mile on the treadmill. I am going to be doing my “come back” a little differently than I had planned. I am going to do 2 miles this week, one at a time on the treadmill. Next week I’ll do 3, 3 different days, and four the next, etc. Once I am doing one mile a day on the treadmill, six days a week, I will slowly add more miles. My logic is that I need to learn to run again slowly with my stretches, scraping and massage, to make sure I don’t go binding my hip up again. I do have some drills to do while I am running to help straighten out my left foot a bit. I am not trying to all out change my form or anything like that, I just want to come back slowly enough to make sure that I am addressing the core issues of my injury.

Have a GREAT day!!

60 minutes of yoga.

My hip was a little more tender last night, but less than it was Saturday and Sunday.  I just don't understand why my hip felexor is SO irritated.  Hmmmmm....  Oh, I did not confess last saturday that I had itb and hip pain at the end of my run, hence the revision of my return to running.  My first mile was in the 9:40's on sat, uphill :(  I am sticking to the treadmill to keep me on level ground and at a 12 mm pace for the next 4-6 weeks.  Trying to listen to my body is really hard when my mind/ego says GO GO GO GO GO!!!

Lot's to do today :)

45 minutes elliptical at Michelle's house.  My baby is really mad that I did not take him to "Mish-snells" house with me!  He loves her "fluffy" cat :)  He is now yelling at me that I have to take him over "THIS DAY!!!"

I'll do yoga, abs and push-ups this evening :)  I am working 3 meetings today, so I had better get my self in gear ;)

Oh, and I decided that if I can get to my goal of 147 and hold it for 1 year, I am getting a tummy tuck, hold the belly button!  The original deal, that DH and I made was that if I held my first goal weight for 2 years I could get one.  Well, I have done that and now have new plans :)  I am secretly hoping that I wont need/want one at 147 :)

1/4 mile warm-up. 1  mile run on the treadmill at 12 min mile pace. 1/4 mile cool down. Stretching.  Everything feels fine.  My beating by Josse yesterday has me looking like I have been beat!  Thanks Josee! You are the BEST! :D

I am writing while on my treadmill.  I need David to make me a platform desk so I can blog and move. My posture is a bit weird.
