So glad to be back.  My work has free passes to the rec center, it's a new year and my husband offered to tend while I worked out.  Can't say no to that. 

Warmed up .25 ran 1 walked .5 and ran another .5.  Considering it's been almost a year since I last ran this was pretty good.  I was slow but I still did it.

I think I'm going to run the Thanksgiving point half marathon April 30.  We'll see.  I also have a friend who lives in my same apartment complex that's going to be my gym buddy.  That will def help.  Glad to be back- FRB'ers!  I've missed you.

Went to Rec Center at 5a.m. with Suzana. This is a big accomplishment for me. Never ever thought I would wake up that early to work out. It's so nice to have a neighbor-friend to get me out of bed.

warmed up .25, ran 1.25, walked .3 ran .5 then walked a little after.

Ran on the inside track this morning  at 5 (bleck).  It's 6 times around the track to get a mile... which believe me get's pretty monotonous (spelling?)  but it's a nice switch up from the treadmill.

Technically they were all slow miles. But I broke it up because I ran/jogged the 2 miles and walked the .5

25 minutes on eliptical and 15 minutes of weights.  Did 50 situps and that was about all I can handle.  Not working out for a year and having a baby in your belly will do that to you I guess.

I tried to run outside this morning like an idiot.  I way underestimated how cold 15 degrees was.  It hurt the worst on my face, I think I had enough layers everywhere else.  Anyway, I cut the run shorter than I wanted to but I was dying.  And thought my legs might have to get cut off from frostbite. 

I did Jillian Michaels 30 day shred when I got home to try and make up for shortage of miles.

Crummy day.  Could NOT sleep last night.  And then I was so worried about not being able to fall asleep that it made falling asleep even more impossible.  Then I had dreams about not being able to fall asleep.  So I'm thinking I probably got like 4hours last night maybe. 

When my alarm went off at 4:50 this morning I thought if I'm tired I'll tell Suzana I can't go.  But no surprise I wasn't tired.  Seriously I guess I can't ever take a Sunday nap again. It's ruined my life. 

Then I got to the gym and my knees have been hurting on the insides of my legs.  I brushed it off as soreness.  So I warmed up on the TM for 5 minutes and then tried running and it felt like my legs were being stabbed.  I couldn't run so I did the elliptical for 30 min on level 13-15.  I was mad because I really wanted to run today.

Anyway, I think the problem with my knees is that my arches are bad.  So tonight I'm hoping to get either new insoles or maybe new shoes.  I want to run the half marathon April 30 so I really got to get going.

Of the 3 people that read this blog, any input on why my knees are hurting? Do you think it's arches?

1.5 on elliptical and then 30 minute pilates class.  I got new shoes last night and I think they will help a lot but my knees are still pissed so I took it easy again today.  I really just want to run. I feel like if I'm going at the butt crack of dawn I should be running and working up a real sweat :). I work up a sweat doing the other things, I just always feel better after a run.  I'll try tomorrow I guess!

2 elliptical miles and a little lifting afterward.  Knees still hurt but a little less everday.  I think I'll try running again Monday.

3 elliptical miles.  My knees still hurt. Especially when I'm out in the cold, they get so achy.   I'm going to try running either tomorrow and if I still don't feel better in like a week or so I'm going to go to the PT.

40 minute sculpting class again. I really like the girl who teaches it.

However, I'm frustrated. Seems like my knees are getting worse and now both ankles hurt too.  I've been taking it easy only doing elliptical and classes... It's frustrating when your mind wants to do something and your body won't cooperate.  I am getting up so early and going to the gym, I feel like I should atleast be able to run and get a good sweat in. And I still want to do the thanksgiving point half. this is the wierdest things. I guess my legs just loved not working out for the last year and now they're just trying to murder everyone.

3 ellliptical miles

Tried running I was able to do a mile! I could feel my left knee and right ankle hurting- not as bad as they were but I still don't feel like I can just jump into it.  My lower back is also super super sore, I think from Spin yesterday.

Having a baby turned me into an arthritic, easily injured, 90 year old I feel like.

Warmed up, ran a mile in 8:30, walked a mile at 13 incline at 4.5 on treadmill and then ran another half mile to finish it off. I was a sweaty betty by the end of it.  It was about 40 min of Cardio.

My knees and Ankle felt good today! Which makes me so glad.  If I can run 3 on Saturday I'm going to start training for the Thanksgiving point half and maybe maybe maybe the SLC half.  I figure I could use the SLC half as a training run and just go slow & easy.

 

And happy birthday to my seester MERRI! Go Shotty, it's your birthday.
