gain and loss, gain and loss, gain and loss
So I have put on about 10 pounds in the last month or so. I haven't been running as much because my knee was healing VERY slowly and then I got sick and THEN there was a big snow. I'm trying to keep a positive outlook and also realizing that the midst of winter is probably not the greatest time to expect much (though I definitely see a lot of runners out there snow or no). Either way, i'm hoping to get a run in tomorrow.
I have a work-out plan for my Mondays in mind. I will do some Bulgarian Squats, Push Ups, Planks, Lateral Lunges and some stairs. I am going to try and take it very easy for the first few times and let my body adjust. I want my knees strong for the spring. I also want to lose about 30 more pounds by May so I need to get started.
I want 3 runs a week, plus my Monday routine, to get me through the Brooklyn Half and then this summer (if I can manage to remain healthy) I will start figuring out my Marathon training (if I get in that is). I can feel my body getting tight and squeaky from lack of exercise and I hate it. I remember how miserable I was at the beginning of the Staten Island Half and how I didn't think I could make it 3 miles and then low and behold I was running free of pain and feeling unstoppable by mile 6. I want that feeling back again.
Tomorrow I will just go for an easy run. I want to go out for about an hour. I'll let myself walk if I feel tired. I'll stretch before and after. I'l hydrate. I need to get out of these doldrums and back on the street!!!
Adieu homies.
