  • 5.25, 5th south loop - starting to loosen the cobwebs in my legs and lungs from so many days off 

My Garmin transfer works!  I was also able to upgrade from the version 2.0 to 2.4.  I spent 45 minutes on the phone with the very helpful Garmin support.  They couldn't get anything to work either (which helped me feel better about my technical abilities).  After jumping through hoops and trying various things, it all works.  I'm sure no one really cares, but as for me, I feel whole again...:)

We are now into the 2nd trimester and I like it better already.  Lower tendons and ligaments needed a break, but I didn't.  Checked out the local rec center and did cycling and pilates classes.

People who know I still run ask me if I make sure my heart rate is below 140.  I tell them that is out-dated information and I just make sure I don't over do it and that I can always take solid breaths.  I have researched the topic extensively, I went to a conference where doctors presented their research on the topic and I also just feel for myself that getting a nice hard session in is a good thing.  I feel much better when I can do this, so I'll just follow my intuition and be careful and I really think things will be great.  I just ordered a book that I've come across often during my research and am looking forward to reading it.

Went to the gym for an hour.  I somehow hurt my right knee without any warning, so I'm just waiting for it to heal.  I can now almost go up and down the stairs without limping so we're making progress!

  • 1.75 mile slow jog to the gym
  • 45 mins step aerobics
  • 30 mins strength training

Knee is doing better, but running still bothers it a little.  Steps and squats don't bother it.  Today's mini run felt very uncordinated and ploppish.  The body is changing already!  But that's OK, I don't mind the sacrifice. :)  I really miss my normal high-mileage running days, but I'll have lots of fun with running later on when I'm not actively growing a human.

Joined Teena and Smooth (and Rylee and Larry) at Gold's Gym to do a sprint triathlon.  It was just what I needed!!  And it was so fun to see them. :)

My running isn't at it's greatest right now (understandably) so I find myself, like I did when I was injured earlier this year, not having as much motivation to work hard since I don't get out of my workouts what I really want (that burn in my lungs and the nice tired muscles from running lots of hard miles...etc.)  So this was fun to do and it helped revive things for me.  I tried to work as hard as I could, but there's just a "slug" factor I have to work against right now.  So considering, it was a good workout for sure!  I'm not sure that I'll ever race a triathlon, but it was still fun.  I'm still thinking I would prefer the simplicity of starting at the beginning of a race, running my heart out to the end, and then I'm done. =0) 

Thanks Teena!  I know she's really busy right now, so it was nice of her to do this with me. :)  And thanks Smooth and Larry for traveling all that way so you could come.  Let's do this again!

  • AM: 5.5 miles, 5th south loop

  • PM: Body Pump with my little sister and she signed up for a membership so we can go together all the time now!  (at Gold's) I'm so happy!

What a great run.  It's funny how sometimes if you want a good run, just have a hard run the day before.  That triathlon primed me just right!  I woke up feeling good and ready to run, so I was hoping for under 10 mins/mile and got 9:40. :)
