Ran early am. Can I tell you how much better my running feels now that I had my SI injected??!!
SI injection on right side.
Pliometrics and core work in pm:
2 X 50m exaggerated skipping with medicine ball
2 X 50m bounding with medicine ball
2 X 50m lunges with medicine ball
3 X 20 squats with medicine ball
3 X 20 crunches with medicine ball
3 X 20 reverse crunches with medicine ball
3 X 30 reverse obliques with medicine ball (upper body steady against floor; legs swinging from side to side with medicine ball between knees)
3 X 40 twists with medicine ball holding core tight
3 X 10 pushups
3 planks
3 X 20 triceps with medicine ball
200m run in indoor track with Nike Frees (plan to work up barefoot - got to start somewhere)
All done while Bubbles was at gymnastics. I love having access to the indoor track and a place to do all this stuff that is not in the sun. It is actually air conditioned but I get pretty sweaty. Only draw back is I did less bounding today because two moms were talking to me while I was resting and I didn't want to be rude. It is just as well considering the SI injection this morning and the addition of exercises and the addition of the medicine ball during the skipping and bounding. My legs felt pretty trashed aftern the lunges and the swats. |

Six miles. After yesterdays workout and SI procedure, it felt surprising good. First five miles I felt like I was gliding. Last mile, I was "driving." Got tired the last 200m so I judged it right today. Yea!
Life is getting better. Got asked to write two more World BooK Encyclopedia articles! This might be a good opportunity for me to switch careers. Planning to do a bang-up job and see how I can leverage these articles into another career -- science books for kids.
I will talk with my brother. He wrote a children's book a number of years ago. It is awesome, but self published.

This one was weird. I wasn't sure I was going to run all 8 as planned. Went out with no watch and paid no attention to my pace. I just ran. I told myself, I would figure out how far I would go at mile 5 and then again at 7. I had no problem with 8. I felt good the whole time. When I was done, I ran it about 1 min per mile faster than I thought I was going. This was even faster than most of my mid-week runs. Bizarre. I did wear the SI belt which I don't do for short runs.

Wanted to run 6 but I was running out of time and was bonking. It was 15 degrees hotter than my Sat am run, plus the heat index was in the stratosphere. Low carbs was another issue of the day which I fully realized when I peeled off my wet clothes to smell the lovely smell of ammonia (= serious ketosis). Not what I intended. I am trying to get my weight under control; I should add that I don't weigh myself. I just need my clothes to fit better. I've added in a few more carbs today to so tomorrow's run will be successful.
Tomorrow, I run very early as Bubbles, Honey, and Jeff and I are going to go pick organic blueberries. We are excited!

Seven miles. Whoohoo! Felt good. Did this run without SI belt. Didn't bonk and finished strong. Ran early because we went and picked organic blueberries. We had a really great time. I am grateful for such a sweet, well-behaved little girl in Bubbles. Other people with kids there were not having such a great time. One Mom complained to me, but I told her we were having a great time. Bubbles picked a lot and then only at the end did she start eating them. We joked with the people who own the place that we should have weighed her before and then after. They are used to it and they encourage kids. I think it is really important for kids to know where there food comes from. Grocery store? NOT!
We are joining an organic farm cooperative and I am excited. We buy shares in the farm and get at least 10 lbs of produce every week. I am excited to support this family farm and turn my family into locavores. Also, we have a friend who is going to raise a grass-fed cow with us. We will split the meat with them. We buy grass-fed beef, but sometimes it is hard to get. Bubbles will go visit the farm we have shares in soon.
SI pain much better now. I sleep with the SI belt on for most of the night. Very romantic! It is helping and I am finally getting sleep! And, I am running. I couldn't be happier about that.

Had to force myself to get out of bed this morning. But I did and I ran 5 with no problems!
Bubbles doesn't have gym tonight so I don't know if I will do my plyometrics. I do have to move 2 yards of mulch out of my driveway and into my backyard. |

Dehydrated from yesterday. Bonked a bit on this run so I made it a mile shorter than I wanted to.

Slogged through 6 miles. I am not sure if my lack of energy is diet related or just that the temps are soaring right now. I have been getting up at 4:45am to run but I went to bed at just after 7 last night so it wasn't fatigue.

Six slow miles. It was hotter than ever today even though I ran at 5:15am. I think I am starting out dehydrated. So I am going to drink more before I start. I push fluids all day until I pee clear about noon. Then I definitely slack off in the evening and I can drink a bit more before I go.
I hit 30 miles this week and ran 6 days! Yea!

This run was easier this morning. I am not sure if I am getting used to the heat or if I didn't get dehydrated yesterday or if I ate a few more carbs yesterday.
