Week of no running

Last week was a week of no running... I hurt my foot and it would start feeling painful about 2 miles into a run.  SO here is how it looked

Sunday          23 minutes yoga Colleen Saidman on youtube
                      elliptical  70 minutes
                   
Monday       53 minutes yoga Zuzka Light's 2nd yoga DVD
                    40 minutes elliptical
                    24 minute HIIT with 12 minutes rowing intervals in it

Tuesday      55 minutes Power Yoga 1 with Zuzka Light
                 
Wednesday  27 minute HIIT
                     20 minutes Yoga

Thursday  Rest day

Friday  30 minutes power yoga with Jillian Michaels

Saturday   45 minutes yoga with Colleen Saidman
                2 mile run
                40 minutes  elliptical
               4 hours helping in laws move

Run 2 miles.  Felt great
Strength  3 I am counting Jillian Michaels yoga it was tough!
Yoga  4
Elliptical 150 minutes

Overall not my best week, but I am trying to get my foot to feel better and since it only seems aggravated by running, of course, my running this week was severely lacking.  I was told to ease back into running.  You know start with a mile at a time sort of thing.

Yes I know I didn't follow directions, but I did run 1.5 miles, take a small break to help my kids on their bikes and then run another half mile so it wasn't like I just ran twice as far as I was supposed to I broke it up a little.  My foot was feeling fine anyway.

and it was FINALLY springlike outside.  Seriously. birds were singing and everything.  April started like a bad joke with new snow every freaking day until Friday last week.  OVER IT.

Yesterday the kids did their first bike ride out of the driveway while I jogged beside them, I say jogged because it took us almost half an hour to go 2 miles.  It was great fun.
The weather is warmer, but the sun doesn't seem to want to come out and play a whole bunch, instead the wind keeps showing up.   It is supposed to be 72 degrees tomorrow.  I think we will all melt.

  4. Just talked to a friend yesterday who has been using the elliptical because running hurts her lately. It's good to have other options like that. 72? Get out the swimsuits and popsicles!
