Did four treadmill miles today. No incline, time was 54 minutes and something, I didn't take note of the seconds. My form was probably off, I think I was running on my toes a bit on that left foot, trying to compensate for the knee, which is still kind of twitchy, but nothing that is enough to concern me. God, it was so nice to run I could have cried with the joy! Missy, I did try to take shuffling steps with the running. I think it helped. So, tomorrow my plan is to go to the gym and do the bike and then do three mile Thursday. The knee was no more sore at the end of the run than it was at the beginning, so I know it is getting better. I bet by Thursday I'll be completely back to normal.
You know Missy, not that you are asking for my advice, but you might consider getting a gym membership and doing some cross-training. I know that before you were doing some awesome pilates and stuff like that. That way you are not always having to run, but you get your exercise in. I really like doing the bike sometimes, it's easy on the joints and just gives some variety to life. Plus, then you could work in some treadmill runs, which are easier on your body, lots of shock absorption and shit like that. Just my two cents!
My calories are good today, but we are having frozen pizza for dinner, which is always a bad sign.
It's funny you say that Marianne, I have really been wanting to go back to Curves. It just doesn't seem the best idea, what with contemplating bankruptcy and my first paycheck still in the future!! BUT I think that the nearest YMCA or some kind of community gym is right by my new apartment, so I will look into that.
ReplyDeleteI did lose it with my food, last night around 7. It wasn't as bad as the night before. And I still don't care, I will start over again today and keep praying. I'm glad you had a good run.
But I will never do the treadmill. The treadmill and I really don't like each other.
ReplyDeleteYou know, go check out the YMCA. They have funding available for reduced rates if you qualify. Ask them for a reduced or free membership and they will give you some paperwork to fill out. It is definitely worth a shot. I loved the Y in Tucson, I worked out there for months.
