I haven't worked out in a week so this was a challenge.

10-10-10 bench press

50 jump rope

14# 10 reps of dumbbell shoulder press

5 girly push ups

I hurt my hand pretty bad last week. Today it is feel somewhat normal. I had a fight with a mechanical bull. LOL

.75 dog walk

3 sets of 10 shoulder press 40#

1.5 mile run. This one felt better breathing wise. Thursday was filled with cramps. Today I did feel my achilles pull. So I'm wondering what to do. I have been walking in my merrells consistently for 7 months now. Now I want to run in them (and I did today). I don't want to go back to having an inflamed achilles and hurt IT band. Is there another shoe I can wear that is not as cushiony as my mizuno's?

I should also say that when I got those injuries I was wearing my cushy mizunos. So I know I don't want to go back to that.

This is a great race if you are ever in the area. First your run and then you and your family can walk around the zoo for free (just paid for the race). There weren't many animals out but it was still nice to be out and walking around after the race.

I got 3 side stitches. One on each side and one in the middle. They were all up in my diaphragm. My friend and I are both out of running shape so it worked out. We did well for the first 2 miles and ran walked the rest. I was getting some speed thought when I was running. My legs are ready!

Ran 1.36. I brought the dog. Huge mistake. I also wore mizunos. I'm going back to the merrells.

I'm pooped!

I bench pressed 70# 3 sets of 5

Ran/walked a mile in my merrells.

Walked the dogs for a mile.

I don't know that I will ever get back to half marathons again. Right now 5k's and maybe in the spring 10k's are the goal. I just can't see me running more than 3-5 miles right now.

I have been healing and not running for 7 months. Over the last week or so I got the running bug back. I think I needed the break. It was also a very hot summer. I"m excited for the fall.

I didn't sit on the couch all summer. I started lifting weights in February and walk everyday.
