Yesterday, was an easy and pain free day despite the hard effort on Sunday, some hot spot on left butt, right calf but nothing significant, decided again running to give the body a break so decided on a 40mins easy spin and then 2 sessions from Strong Stride. Strong Stride I believe is an humbling workout since I am in so much pain when all am using is my body weight: glutes, hips and butt were on fire after the workout.

I did a session of yin yoga before bed, am working on adding restorative yoga in the evening to quite my mind and calm the body. Still not sleeping properly, waking up between 1:30 - 2:30am but last night I was able to go back to sleep by doing some meditation really try to avoid taking sleeping aid.

This morning, body still recovering but seem to be humming with energy, so started the day of with Cathe Ripped with Hitt Low Impact Premix #7, time flew by and I was a sweaty mess then hopping on the treadmill I queued up a coached program -Cardio Coach #1 on Bitgym and gave it a try, it worked so much better on the treadmill than the spin bike, not really sure why but I am not really sure what the advantage of this app is right now, I already have the Cardio Coach workout and I can watch what ever I want on netflix or any of the multiple options I have, also I have the Runervals and Sufferfest workouts which are coached DVD are downloaded video workouts.

After the run with lots of energy still pumping through my veins, I did Pretty Fierece Lean Out Upper Body Endurance with was a short sweet to the point workout, my arms were on fire and I was sweating unbelievably which was interesting since I wasn't doing any cardio.

I was a bit tired during the day, the kind of tired when a 10 mins power nap was needed but I know it is coming from the early waking.

After work, met up with Shelby at the Bike and Hike to get in 4 miles it was a bit rough at the start since I was tired but once my body warmed up I felt fine although the pace was very and there were lots of bikers out.



Got back home, had dinner and then got in an hours plus in the yard working on the beds, it is just amazing how much weed there is again, ahhh :(

Off to bed, but hope to get in at least 20mins of yoga or meditation

Still slowly getting back to waking up on time to get my workout in, but for some reason I woke up around 230am feeling very hot wasn't able to get back to sleep right away but had no problem getting up when it was time too, although for some unforeseen reason reason decided to arrange my closet, go figure.

So after dragging myself out of my closet, went over to the basement to get the workouts of the day in, body feel fine no aches and pain.

Cathe Ripped with Hiit Upper Body, did it all the way to the stretch then pause and went to get 6 miles of easy run in watching Cast Away with Tom Hanks, after the run back to Cathe for the stretch.

I still have no idea what to do about the long run tomorrow trails, road and paths are messy due to the rain and snow from last night and this morning, also have a 930am mammogram appointment and Sunday doesn't look any better with a storm rolling in.


Signing up for Hall of Fame Half Marathon feels like this will be great to do after Paris before Flying Pig just to keep going also lots of friends are doing it and Rock and Roll New Orleans 2016 since that is only $50 and I get to know off another state

Got in 30 mins on the Elliptical and then 20 mins Upper Body work. My body cannot handle multi days of running so I break it up. Last year's running schedule worked great for me so I am probably going to go back to it. Running Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday, Cross training on Wednesday and Friday, Short strength training everyday alternating between Upper and Lower body. Yoga and Pilates Sprinkled  in as needed.

3 miles today, who...hoo , it felt great, I decided to run this on the treadmill to better gauge speed and how my body response to it. I started out at Recovery pace then getting to base pace after every mile I drop back to recovery pace instead of a walk just because it is really hard for me to walk on the treadmill I tend to really heel strike badly. For the final mile, went from recovery pace to base to Marathon to 10k pace was able to hold 10k pace with no pain to either leg.The only problem I noticed was how cold my fingers and toes were, I was sweaty but both were freezing. Did Dynamic Flexibility before running.

After running, move on to do Upper Body/Core workout with Cindy and then finish up with 8 mins of yoga stretch, this are both from Exercise TV.

Formal training starts Monday, Signed up for the Akron Marathon and will be signing up for more races before then.

Slowly beginning to feel my running mojo coming back, still only running 1 mile each but only minimal pain when done and thi sis not from my injury. I still can't beleive how much my quads and calves hurt from the first 1 miler on Saturday.
