Another week of walking and stuff: Sunday - (3.8) on the
treadmill at FlexOne. Alternated between slower (3.5 mph) at 15%
incline and faster (up to 4.5 mph) at 3-4% incline Monday -
(2.5) 1.7 miles w/ Sammy in the morning, then another 0.8 miles with
Sammy and Barbie in the evening. Went to Jenny's boot camp which
include 0.75 miles running. Followed up with 4 sets of bench presses
(11x135, 8x155, 3x175, 12x135) Tuesday - (1.7) did the morning loop w/ Sammy Wednesday - (2.2)
Cedar Rapids, hotel treadmill 2.2 miles in 28 minutes, which included
some "slow" running (top speed 5.7 mph), but at least it was running and
felt pretty good. Several sets of dumbbell exercises (curls, presses,
bent over rows, crunches on the ball)
Thursday - (2.4) Cedar Rapids, hotel treadmill, 2.4 miles in 28 minutes, kind of like Wed. but a little more running. Friday - (1.0) 1 mile in the morning w/ Sammy to gate and back. Was tired from late night late flight (home at 2:30 am!!) Saturday - I left my house just after 6:00 on my bike and rode up to Starkey Park (7.5 miles), I met up with Dixie and we headed out together along with Derek and I ended up running 4 miles (9:10 pace). Wed and Thu's walk/runs on the treadmill had been encouraging because they were completely pain free. While there was just a small amount of pain and it was bearable I was hoping for none, but it was at least a pretty good test to see where I'm at. I hung out for a little bit before getting on my bike and heading back home. I went faster on the way back and completed the distance 2 minutes faster then the ride up. Between walking and some slower running, 17.6 miles for the week.
I never got around to walking the dogs on Saturday. :( I did spend a considerable amount of time waiting for the AC guy to show up, but fortunately it turned out to be a quick repair and (relatively) inexpensive Need to make that appointment this coming week to get to either a doctor or PT!!!
