 WHAT A BEAUTIFUL DAY!!!!

Went to the pool this morning.  It felt really good, but started to hurt where my fracture is. I was there doing my pool thing and this nice lady, who is an aerobic instructor came over and asked if she could give me some pointers.  Hey why not, I need all the help I can get.  One thing she suggested was doing a cross country skiing move.  Both your legs and arms are straight.  So I tried it, Oh my gosh that was really hard.  I am going to try to add that (a little) to my pool stuff.  I hope I don't die!!!

I was told by the Dr. to give my stress fracture 6 weeks to heal.  This would be my last week, but I think I am going to go 2 more weeks since I still feel a little pain still and I have officially decided not to run my two races I signed up for :(, so there is no reason to hurry through things (even though I am dying to run outside!!!!!)  I want to do this right and smart. 

I have come to the conclusion that I got my stress fracture for the stupid indoor tack I trained on for my half marathon.  Curse that indoor track!!!  No more for me!  

5 min warm up

1 6x2:30

1 5x2:30

(30 sec easy recovery)

(2 min easy btw set)

5 min cross country style

5 min cool down

50 min

It was cold this morning!!  The pool was crowded and that kind of bugs me.  I had to do a lot of moving out of peoples way.  Oh well, it help distract me.  I did some of the cross country and really liked it.  I can really feel it in my legs.

I think I am extra tired today because I stayed up too late watching the movie "The Box". I do not recommend it.  It was very confusing and the ending left you going "What".  I am mad I used up precious sleep for that.  I will pick the movie next time.  Blind side comes out today and I think I am actually going to go buy that one.  I haven't seen it yet, but my 11 yr. son has and he says it is a must.

so I haven't been able to use my computer and so I have to do my updating on my phone.  Not very fun. :(

  I couldn't get to the pool so I had this great idea that I would put the boys in the bike trailer and go for a ride..  That was a crazy idea!  An extra 55 lbs. Killed me!!!I felt every out of shape!!!  That is why I only got 3 miles in.  I took a picture of the boys in the trailer but I don't know how to add it.  Maybe I will figure it out and post it later. :)

pool running = 60 min hard

the word "hard" is an under statement for sure!  I was so bored I could sream!  I didn't have my swimmimg buddy (toby) there to make it fun.

 I had to do a lot of dodging people.  The water aerobic people think they can take up all the space that is not used for lap swimming.  Because I had do swim for eternity by the time I was done I had the whole pool to myself.  That was really sad.  As much as I am complaining I had a great workout.  I need to get back on the same schedule as toby for sure!!!!
