I Can Do Hard Things

WALK/RUN:  4.2 miles - 50 minutes (5 minutes walk to 5 minutes run)

Ankle feeling ok today, but I'm not getting too excited yet. 

WALK/RUN:  3.66 miles - 38:26 minutes (1x5 min walk to 5 min run, 3 4 min walk to 6 min run)

I set my alarm at 4:25am to go to the 4:50am power pump class.  But I quickly turned it off and went back to bed.  So I had to hussle when my hubby got home from work.  

I run SO much faster outside.  Usually, I run on the TM a 10:20 mile (slow, I know, but trying to come back easy).  But today, I was averaging 9:00 - 8:30 miles.  It felt so great to go at a normal speed.  I hope I don't pay for it later on....

 Ankle feels good

WALK/RUN: 4.4 miles in 50 minutes (5 min walk to 5 min run x1 ~ 4 min walk to 6 min run x4)

This is the furthest I've gone since January.  Hooray!  I went a bit faster today on the TM and did ankle exercises between each set.  I made an appointment with the PT tomorrow just because....a lot of reasons.  Ankle feels good today, but still not getting excited yet.

Power pump class today.  My arms are so sore!  I had two of my neighbors come too!  They put their little ones in the daycare, so my little one was happy to have friends.  FANTASTIC! 

I really wanted to get a run in, but I have Pack meeting tonight. I also go and see the PT.

WALK/RUN:  3.68 miles, 41 minutes (4 minute walk to 6 minute run) 

I saw the physical therapist yesterday to ask for more advice regarding my ankle (or WHY ISN'T IT HEALING FASTER).  He used these special tools (they looked like dull butter knives) and he "scraped" my ankle with coco butter.  OUCH!  But after the initial hurt went away, it felt really great.  Probably the best it has felt in the past 9 months.  

I didn't want to get too excited, but......  It felt good when I ran on it this morning.  Tomorrow I'm going to try to run more and walk a little less. I am going to go back in for more scraping next week.   

WALK/RUN:  4.57 miles - 50 minutes (1x4 min walk to 6 min run and 4 x 3 min walk to 7 min run).  I upped the speed a bit today and the legs felt great.  More importantly the ankle felt really great too.  Again, I feel like I am progressing and not stagnant!

BIKE:  12.43 miles in 49:24 minutes.  Golly gee I'm slow on a bike!!  I went a new route today and it was fun to explore.
