Foam If You Want To

I’M BACK, BABY.

After five days off, my heel appears to be healed. I have a healed heel. I am heel-healed. [Michael Jackson voice] HEEL HEAL. Thank you, I’m done.

I ran a tentative 3 miles today, figuring if I felt okay afterwards I could do a longer run tomorrow. I did feel okay. I felt good. Great, maybe even.

Just Another Selfie Sunday

It’s Selfie Sunday!

Every Body Hurts, Sometimes

MY FOOT HURTS. This sucks. It’s not debilitating and it’s not what I would call “pain,” but it was uncomfortable enough walking that I didn’t run this morning. Instead I did a short but intense Fitness Blender cardio/weights workout with the word “brutal” in the title. I would have done it twice if I’d had enough time. I need to punish my body for sucking. This is a very healthy way to think and to live.

Pain, Pain, Go Away

I did a 6 mile run this morning. Actually, a 10K. Let’s be precise here. Twice the distance I ran yesterday, still at a pretty easy pace. I’m still playing it safe, and realizing not every run has to be full out.

She’s An Easy Runner

Every once in awhile, I have to remind myself it’s okay to relaaax.

See, I like to stay on course, not veer from my routine, not break streaks. I’m a leetle anal. I tend to blow things out of proportion, like thinking if I take a day off from running I’ll lose all the progress I’ve made, or if I go over my allotted calories for the day I’ll gain 10 pounds overnight. You know, very LOGICAL things that very NORMAL people think.

Old Dog, New Tricks

I did an upper body workout this morning: Fitness Blender’s good old “Bored Easily” series, in which no set is repeated throughout the routine. I like those. Although I am feeling like maybe I should start switching it up by doing completely different routines by completely different people on different websites and so forth. It’s easy to get stuck in a “rut,” if you can call it that – even when you are working out regularly.

Making Like A Tree

Change of plans today. On what would have normally been Long Run Pancake Sunday, I took a yoga class instead.

My sister Jaaron took this pic of me afterwards doing my best “tree pose.” Don’t I look just like a tree? By the way, those sun beams are real.
