I decided to take this week off from running to see if I could make
some progress with the issues in my right leg, which aren't horrible,
but are not getting any better and may actually be getting slightly
worse, but it's hard to tell. So, it's mainly just been walking
this week. I went to one boot camp class on Wednesday. Sammy the dog
has enjoyed my week off from running and is actually starting to become
very well behaved on the morning walks. He no longer freaks out when he
sees another dog, so big plus there.
Walking this week: Monday - (2.7) 1.7 w/ Sammy and 1 mile with Sammy and Barbie PM and 1.7 mile bike ride in the morning after the walk.
Tuesday - (2.2) 1.7 w/ Sammy and 0.5 miles with Sammy and Barbie PM, biking - 1.7 miles after morning walk
Wednesday -
(1.7) 1.7 w/ Sammy , boot camp PM (included 0.25 mile run), three sets
of bench press after class (10x135, 8x155, 8x135) which got me out of
mat wiping duty. Also, rode my bike to/from FlexOne, so 2 miles of
biking.
Thursday - (2.2) 1.7 w/Sammy in AM and 0.5 w/ Sammy and Barbie PM Friday - (2.2) 1.7 w/Sammy in AM, 0.5 w/ Sammy and Barbie PM Saturday -
(1.0) 1.0 w/ Sammy and Barbie AM, then spent the day at Blizzard
Beach where we did "lots and lots" of steps climbing up to the top of
the water rides. Started and ended the day by going down "Summit Plummet". At 120', it is the second highest water slide in the world (Brazil has one 15' higher called Insano). The first time was kind of scary since I didn't know what I was getting myself into, and the second time was worse since I knew what I was getting myself into. Also, the approaching storm with dark clouds, gusting wind and a freakish looking cloud of wasps gave it an eerie feeling. It was much more light hearted after that when it was time to get ice cream before heading back home.
