I Can Do Hard Things

I totally feeling turkey fat this morning.  Ughhhhh.....I think a lot of other people were feeling that way too because the gym was crazy busy!

4 miles on the stair climber (I looked at the clock every time I had to wipe off my sweaty face.  3 MINUTES....insane!!!)

A few LLL, donkey kicks, fire hydrants

Stretch and foam roll 

Yesterday was a bust.  I had sick kids up all night who eventually ended up in my bed.  Kids in my bed is never fun.  Then I had to take my super emotional daughter to the doctor and I think she may have ADD.  Then I was at the school all day.  I spent too much time plunking out songs for the Christmas piano recital on Monday.  The joys of being mom and not getting in a workout.

3 miles on the stairmill

1 mile test run.  I wanted to work on counting my steps.  I had to turn off my music and look at a spot on the TM so I could focus on my counts.  I counted 5 times for 1 minute each - 80, 78,77,80,80.  All this "funning form" stuff is hard....hard to make a new habit.

My ankle felt very creaky and achy and did until I got back home.  But now several hours later, it feels okay.  

Assisted pull ups and dips

B6 with no weights

foam roll and stretch. 

I'm SO very grateful for good, kind people who help me with my pathetic form!!!

2 miles on the stair mill

2 miles running - concentrate on stride count

LLL (feel the BURN), single leg balance stuff, lunge matrix, foam roll and stretch 

No running today since I ran yesterday.  I was planning to do the stairmill, but the dumb Gold's salesman had to talk about EVERY package possible when we renew our membership next month.  And while I was patiently waiting for him to shut his trap, my stairmill was taken.  

So I did the bike for 30 minutes with the intent on doing lots of weights. 

3x

lunge matrix with weights

push ups

sit ups/core

single leg hamstring lifts

dips

B6

LLL with weights  (oooooo....my buns are sore)

Ankle feels super good.  I made a few changes yesterday (took out my Super Feet, heel lift in the right shoe) and I hope it makes the difference (in addition to all the PT exercises).
