Another day, another 43!!! Today I used a stability ball and did leg circles. Don’t be fooled into thinking this was a fluff move – it was NOT!!!
I did 43 front circles and then 43 back circles with the same leg. My hip was dying!!!! After a quick stretch, I switched sides and repeated 2 sets of 43.
I sort-of played around with my foot position and found that when I flexed my foot it really increased the burn in my hip/thigh – WooHoo!!!
After the 43 today I had to spend about 3 minutes stretching out my hips before I could move on to my work-out! Running day!!!! (Treadmill because it was 5:30am, dark, cold and snowy!)
I did 9 miles in 58:50 at a 1.5% incline. Then I did 2 more miles at an easy pace to cool down. The running is feeling good – my hip feels pretty good. My left achilles is very sore but I have had problems with it for years and starting back into hard running again I sort of except it to hurt. Lots of stretching!!!
Monday it was 75 degrees and sunny and gorgeous. Today it is 20 something, dreary and looks like this
Crazy how different the weather can be in such a short amount of time!!!
I guess I was a day ahead of myself yesterday morning when I wrote my blog – I ended with “Happy Wednesday!” Oops – I don’t know why I felt the need to skip Tuesday – usually a pretty good day – oh, well. Today will be a do-over Wednesday!!!
I know that we aren’t the healthiest eaters around – we do pretty good but we also like pasta, lots of meat, bread, probably don’t always get enough veggies. But fruit…..I like to have it daily:
OK – that might be a tad extreme since I actually still eat (meat and carbs!!!) but it made me laugh!!!
Happy Wednesday!
