Only got an 11 mile run in yesterday. I was aiming for 13, but my shin was telling me no. At mile 9, I told myself to power through it, but then I realized I really need to train mindfully in order to do the marathon in June. I really need to be careful, especially since I might have a stress fracture.
Saw the physcial therapist again today. Man, she’s killer. Massaging out my shin, I really had tears well up in my eyes, but I told myself to power through it. Stop being a pansy. Tough it up. Blah blah blah….ouch! So we’ll see, my dr. appt is on Thursday…fingers are way super crossed that I’m ok!
This afternoon I cranked out 40 minutes of cardio on this eliptical-ish machine…I believe it’s called an AMT or something, it felt really strange, like moon-walking. Then I did an hour of strength training, side/front lunges, squats, core, pushups and handwalks. Good workout, I was beat! Gosh, I was so starving after my workout. Blended up a protein shake w/frozen blueberries and cooked up a big bowl of veggies:
Tomorrow I’m supposed to go to a 5 course dinner…eek! So I plan on spending a lot of time at the gym, maybe 3 hrs?? I’m just so worried about my weight gain, I’m still gaining! UGH! The scale said 128 today! It can be really really discouraging looking at the numbers on the scale continue to climb. I guess I just need to be really on point on my food intake from now on. My Vegas trip is May 7th!
