Week 120: 211 lbs

I really miss running.

I'm getting the itch to go run. This recovery period is going very slow but I guess soon enough I'll be able to hit the pavement again.

Week 119: 211 lbs

I'm off running for a month - Physio's orders.

It's nothing serious but she wants me to do a full recovery and strengthening before jumping back on it to avoid relapses. If not treated properly it could develop into tendinitis so better to be safe than sorry.

I'm much more relaxed about it since my next race is not until April so I want to take the time and heal properly. Meanwhile, I'm doing lots of core and leg strength exercises at home and got myself a foam roller... it's a love/hate relationship. It hurts so good!

Week 116: 211 lbs

Race week!

It all comes down to this Sunday. All the sweat, weight lost, pain, kilometres, early mornings, late nights, training... a half marathon awaits me.

I'm really excited and nervous. I don't feel like I'm fully prepared since I missed a bunch of training but I'm determined to finish that race even if I have to crawl over the finish line. I know the last 5k are the hardest and those are exactly the ones I missed, but I can do this!

I'm aiming for around 2 hours and 30 minutes, but at this point I'll be happy with finishing period. I got this. I can do this. I will do this!

Week 112: 211 lbs

It was bound to happen

I'm officially injured. After going to the Physiotherapist I was told to take at least a week off from running and do a bunch of stretching exercises to speed recovery. Luckily it's nothing major nor permanent, but my shoes however are no bueno for me.

Turns out I have hyper mobility on all my joints which makes me very flexible, however, that's not exactly a good thing for runners. My new shoes don't have mobility control which is a must for hyper mobility and therefore making my new fancy shoes useless to me. Here's hoping I can exchange them.

I had a massage therapy session last night that hopefully worked some muscles and I have one more Physiotherapy appointment before I get the go ahead to resume running. I keep telling myself it's a vacation but I'm actually stressing about it because I'm in the middle of my training program and I don't want to lose the momentum I had going.

Week 84: 211 lbs

I just got home from my first co-op run. That was actually quite fun. I've been avoiding running with someone else for fear of who knows what, maybe that I would not be able to keep up, or that I would make a fool of myself... pretty silly really. It was a nice change of pace and just a fun relaxed run. I may try this more often!

Week 75: 211 lbs

Well I guess 3 Christmas parties in a row takes a toll on your weight.

Well, this was stupid...

On Monday, I weighed 208.8. Tuesday, 207. Yesterday, 211.

I weighed myself after eating dinner. So stupid... Hahaha. 

I now know you don't do that!
