  • 30 mins stair climber (HR eventually got to 150)
  • 2.5 mile TM run @ 10 min pace (HR at ~160, foot feels fine!)

I love the stair climber!  It's my favorite cross training tool right now because I can get my heart rate up without thinking about it much.  I've been on a Dave Ramsey kick and have been listening to all of his April podcasts, so I just go to town and get my financial groove on (and try to ignore his goony-ness).

  • 3.2 easy miles @ 9:30 avg pace around the zoo before an appointment this morning
  • applied for my nursing license at DOPL downtown (which I'll get in Aug or Sept after taking NCLEX)
  • 7 easy miles @ 9:28 avg pace afterward

I feel so grateful and blessed to be able to run again.  It's the time I feel closer to God, closer to nature and closer to myself. :)

  • 60 min stair climber, what a workout! 
  • core workout (always with Mitch...good ol' Mitch)

I usually feel like stopping around 15-20 minutes, but if I can make it past the 20 minute mark or so, then I can go longer and today I did an hour.  The last half I kept it at level 10 which I haven't been able to do before!  (it goes down a couple times because of the program I set it to)  I wish I would have remembered my heart rate monitor so I could see how I did. =0)  It felt great!

  • 6 easy miles to 24 Hr Fitness
  • strength training, stretching, rolling
  • rode the bus back home

Foot feels fine as long as I keep to my slow, steady buildup.  Any time I try to do speed work or too many miles, it starts to whine.  I guess it just needs time to remember what it's capable of. :)  In the meantime I'm in a good place (finally)... as long as I can get my heart rate up several days a week and/or run 20-25 miles, even if they are slow, I am happy!

Can't get my Garmin to work, I'll post later.  Details:

  • 9:15 avg pace, 153 avg HR
