Let's do this!

1 hr 40 min elliptical. Core work. 

I have a rotated SI joint. It seems to be getting better but the last 15 days have been hard not running.

I've been going to bed to late, I a, a zombie lately.

1 hr 30 min ellitpical hell. 

PT last night consisted of more cracking and pushing my rotated SI joint back into place. electrotherapy,  massage, heat, then ice. I didn't run on the treadmill because I still have some minor discomfort. Wed. session might be in the pool running underwater. Weird and cold.

It is getting really hard being on the blog. Makes me sad for what I can't do.

1 hr on the arctrainer then 44 minutes elliptical hell with Julie. Lifted weights focusing on my triceps. Heard lot's of f-bombs on the weight floor.  ;)

Still patiently waiting for my si joint to fully heal before I attempt any kind of a run. 18 days since my last one and counting. I also worry about my oxygen intake levels taking this long off. I know my lung capacity has increased greatly over the last year so...it is a worry.

PT yesterday went well. I don't have to go back and my Si joint seems to be staying in place. Yahoo! However, I am not going to attempt running still. I am going to wait another week or two. It still feels slightly weird and uncomfortable if I try to run. I want it to heal all the way so I am not going to push it. 

50 minutes on the stairmaster and 40 minutes elliptical hell. Core.

1 hr 30 min elliptical hell. Lower back had twinges of small pain. See, this is why I am waiting a week or two mor before running. Let that thing heal all the way.

20 days without running :( sadness....

I did 30 min of the stair master and that kicked my booty. It also kinda hurt my booty- where I've been hurting for the last 3 weeks. Maybe the stair master ain't such a good idear right now?

50 minutes of eliptical as well. I REALLY wish I could just bust out a long hard run. The stair master delivers quite a good sweat, but running is where my heart is.

I have been toying with the idea of not doing any cardio for a week and seeing if that helps me fully recover. I am even willing to do it for two weeks! If you know me you know this is a big deal that I am saying this. It would be super hard for me, but I'm willing to do whatever it takes to heal all the way.

Then I came home and listened to this song. My husband taught me this little trick. When things seem like they suck or not going well, you just tell yourself it's all good. It works most of the time, I must say. :) Apparently he told himself this everyday while serving an LDS mission. ha!
