-5 Celsius today..looking out the window and watching the wind. It was hard to push forward because I was dreading the cold. Vaselined up my toes, put on my Canadian flag running socks, adjusted my runners at the toes, making them a bit loose and a little tight at the top. Applied athletic cream to my leg, inhaled my puffer and out the door I went.
Pretty good run, almost to the end I could feel my legs getting tired. Running up a grade I could feel the muscles in my legs start to tighten, thinking to myself I’ll stop at the top..when I finished the hill and started to run on the straight away, I could feel my muscles relaxing…funny don’t think I’ve ever felt it to that extreme before..In retrospect, this run was Hard and yet smooth sailing…Hard hills, smooth sailing on the flats…I think I’m a flat road runner !! Need hill training but that will come later….Running Cornelia street was so icy, next time I think I’ll put my skates on my back to be prepared!
Feet felt great, breathing was great…legs a bit tight. I can see that I need more strength as I increase..maybe I can get a bit of yoga in tonight.
This week:
Friday today 15K
Thursday yoga class…really great class, great poses. I am able to do more each week based on healing well
Wednesday 5K…awesome run..felt strong, legs and breathing great..
Tuesday Legs and Back…Alot better this time, my strength is coming great. Didn’t bother me 1/2 as much..maybe next week I'll push a little harder
Monday- Yoga Class. All the stretching has really helped my running..Yoga is awesome!
Sunday 5K run with Cathy..upped her to 5K this time..she did fantastic!
Very happy with my week…eating more protein and feel it’s helping me with my strength. Seeing and feeling great improvement surgery wise…another 4 weeks or so, I should be ready to work my abs.
Keep moving!
