Weekly Workout 09/24/2017

I am still grounded from exercising. I see the doctor tomorrow but i can't even walk around the block without pain. Once i know if my elbow is chipped or not i will try and do some things with the arms and see if i can swim using my arms only. I am going nuts not being able to work out. don't miss work but miss my clients.

Speedy recovery. I was sidelined for 4 months with a shin splint. It sucks..

I had a good resting week last week after my half marathon and now it's time to get back to it. I've got a 5k on the 20th and a 10k on the 28th to prepare for!

Monday - intermediate pilates mat class (woah, that's a great and challenging class!)

Tuesday - nothing formal planned, since I'm spending the day in the library at my partner's workplace as I came into work with him to make getting to an evening concert easier. I imagine I'll do a lot of walking.

Wednesday - pilates class. I want to get back to my yoga class that follows the pilates class, but I don't think this is the week for that to happen due to the assignments I have due on Sunday.

Thursday - running!! yoga stretching

Friday - my zenga class has been renamed to reflect what it actually is, so now it's MFR class.

Saturday - parkrun (free worldwide weekly timed 5k)

Sunday - yoga at home

Should I ask what MFR stands for??

Myofascial Release. :)

Well, I over did it on Saturday and my right knee has not forgiven me yet. I will have to adjust my workouts this week so I don't aggravate it more.

Mon- Walked 6 miles, bike ride 3.5 mile bike ride

Tues- Walk 5 miles and modified gym workout

Wed- Walk 6 miles and I teach dog training classes that night so no bike ride.

Thurs- Walk 6 miles and modified gym workout

Friday- Walk 5 miles, 5 mile bike ride

Sat- Walk 5 miles, weight training at the gym

Sun- Walk 7 miles and relax!

I see my regular doctor in two weeks and will have him look at if it's still bothering me. I had three knee surgeries back about 15 years ago and I have to be careful with it.

Edit-change in plans or what actually happened..

Liz do you take rest days at all?

Yes and no... I walk everyday regardless of what's going on. Normally I take either Saturday or Sunday off from the gym. I list both days because I try to hit it on Saturday but I don't always make it. If I don't make it Saturday, I make it a priority for Sunday. That's why I normally come back and edit my post for the week, life happens.

My bike riding is very relaxed right now, just getting the hang of it and doing PT for my knee. It takes me about 20 minutes to ride 3 miles, so it's a nice, relaxed paced and I don't really count it as working out. My doctor recommended lite biking to see if it helped.

I only do weight training 3 times a week, everything else is cardio.
