Orienteering 1:00:00 [3]

Chicago orienteering club meet at Deer Grove. I did the yellow course, which is the second easiest course you can do. It was fun and I'm going to do it again.

Running 38:00 [3] 4.0 mi (9:30 / mi)
shoes: Saucony ProGrid Ride

Foot felt a little tight and achey. It was an effort.

Cardio Machines 30:00 [3]

bike at the gym

Strength 15:00 [3]

A little lower body and abs. I gotta keep those jiggly bits controlled. My foot feels a lot better today. I'm hoping it's not a psyche.

Cardio Machines 40:00 [3]

bike at the gym. I'm trying to take it easy, for real. Though the thought of love handles scares me.

Yoga class- we worked on hip openers. Hips are notorious storage spots on our bodies for bad gunk. This is probably why I woke up with a huge migraine this morning. Otherwise I feel pretty good. My foot feels pretty good after taking the day off essentially.

Cardio Machines 1:00:00 [3]

bike and then 1 min running, 2 min walking x 4 on the treadmill. Ugh, I hate the fact that I have to start from scratch with running.

Strength 30:00 [3]

weight machines, did a little bit of everything

Monday Oct 25, 2010 #

Biking 2:30:00 [3]

bike ride with Ben to Belvidere and back, about 26 or so miles round trip. I'm thinking that if I'm going to be gimpy for much longer I should possibly get a real bike.

Strength 30:00 [3]

lower body/abs without machines

Saturday Oct 23, 2010 #

Yoga 1:00:00 [3]

Power Yoga Total Body DVD. Wow, I felt so good during this. It's exactly what I needed, and I went into upward bow, twice!

Cardio Machines 40:00 [3]

The foot is feeling SOOOO much better today. I see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Exercise bike at the gym

7 PM

Yoga 1:30:00 [3]

It was the last week of the session, which means a ball class, which means abs! And 10 people bouncing around a room on gigantic balls cracking wise and being silly. I flopped myself over the ball at one point and got a great stretch in my lower back, it felt great. My foot is also feeling better, FINALLY.

squeaky wheel

Strength 30:00 [3]

lower and a little bit of upper body on machines. I put 100lbs on the leg press machine today. A week ago I could only do 55lbs. I had forgotten how easy it is for me to build muscle in my legs. Now, my upper body is a different story.

Biking 2:00:00 [3] 26.0 mi (4:37 / mi)

Biked to Woodstock and back with Ben on my 1950's cruiser. It was an absolutely beautiful day. There are a lot of 'real' bikers that ride the flat country roads by us that go on forever. I got some looks from them as I passed on my bike. I can get that heavy old thing flying though, it's so much fun.

Strength 1:00:00 [3]

I did a little upper body, abs, and lower body. The walking lunges are getting a lot easier.

squeaky wheel

Running 20:00 [3] 2.2 mi (9:05 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Fast Twitch 4

Ran on the treadmill to test out the foot. It started aching about a mile and a half in to the run. So, it's not quite there yet. I'm thinking another week or two of being a gym rat and then I can be released into the wild again.

Strength 30:00 [3]

Did legs again but Ben was there so I had to show off by putting 5 extra lbs on the barbell when I was doing squats. I'm pretty sure that doing squats with 60lbs on the barbell is what it takes to impress a guy, someone told me that once. Well, that and being able to make fart noises with your armpit.

Friday Oct 15, 2010 #

Cardio Machines 1:00:00 [3]

40 min squeaky wheel, 20 elliptical

Strength 30:00 [3]

squats, lunges, single leg squats, abs
I did the leg exercises with the barbell assist and 50lbs. That's right baby, I'm getting hardcore. I want a butt you can bounce quarters off of, or at least make people think that I run mountains at races. Nope, I'm from IL :)

Thursday Oct 14, 2010 #

Cardio Machines 1:00:00 [3]

40 min on the squeaky wheel, 20 on the eliptical

Strength 30:00 [3]

squats, hips, walking lunges, etc.

Yoga 20:00 [3]

Did the new yoga sampler dvd that I got in my Kashi cereal box. Massive Fail. It totally sucked, they went into poses way too fast, with no modifications for 'unfit' people. Cmon guys what kind of people do you think are doing a yoga dvd they got out of a cereal box? Not Gumby like yogis, that's for sure. It's this kind of crap that is peoples first introduction to yoga that scares them away.

Running 54:47 [3] 6.0 mi (9:08 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Fast Twitch 4

HUM trail

Strength 30:00 [3]

walking lunges, squats on bosu, calve raises, hips, abs

Yoga 1:30:00 [3]

After doing massive strength training all week my yoga instructor decided to help me out with my PTT injury and hip weakness by doing a class focused on strength. It was nice that she thought of me and wants to help me out. I really appreciate it. I need all the help I can get. My soul is dying without running.

Tuesday Oct 12, 2010 #

Strength 25:00 [3]

leg press, hip abductor, abs, hip strengthening exercises

9 AM

Running 1:00:00 [3] 6.0 mi (10:00 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Fast Twitch 4

Imagine Beethoven's Ode to Joy playing right now. yeah, that's about right. I ran on the road's with Ben and my foot hardly hurt at all. It felt a little achy but not too bad. I'm going to try to stay off it the rest of the day and see how it does.

Running 18:30 [3] 2.0 mi (9:15 / mi)
shoes: Saucony Fast Twitch 4

Ran to and from the gym. My foot felt ok, not horrible, not great, ok. I tried to not push it. I think giving it some rest the next two days in WI will be good. Other than that my legs felt heavy as logs but being out in the sunshine and feeling the wind was amazing.

(injured)

Broke a nice sweat and got my heart rate up but I'm starting to feel the itch to run. Oh well, I'm not going to be stupid. I'm going to rest up and let my foot heal. I'll just have to wait to crush the competition until next year. Christine Crawford gets a free pass this time.
