March 10, 201511 yr Small group training - read 4 of us doing stair runs ( for me that means stair crawls !!) and other tortures !! Next week my 12 week challenge starts agin ... Hurting just thinking about it ! :-)
March 10, 201511 yr Author I ran 4.21 miles with cody today then came home chilled for a bit did some Babs Abs ( I like that name lol) I think she should change the title of her challenge post to Babs Abs challenge lol whos with me?
March 11, 201511 yr Intense cardio class. 110 sit-ups 110 mountain climbers 100 squats 60 push-ups (still do them on my knees.) 60 squat thrusts 190 jumping jack 60 step ups on tire 60 wood choppers Love when we have that class. We mark down on paper to track it and go around to stations on our own. 10 of this 10 of that. I kept the other papers from previous times. Fun to see how much more I'm doing now. How much stronger. Now off to do the ab challenge. It's going to be tough keeping up with both class and challenge once it gets further.
March 11, 201511 yr Session with my new trainer - quite liking the heavy weights but still not sure about the all pink trainer !! Finished up with self imposed tabata .. Guess I am missing burpees !! Did I say that out loud !?
March 12, 201511 yr Author ran today by myself 4.77 miles also did some squats, and some upper body work
March 12, 201511 yr Late afternoon walk at moderate pace - 40 minutes Evening walk at moderate to brisk pace - 2 hours Total: 2 hours 40 minutes walking at moderate to moderate/brisk pace Comment: I feel great! During evening walk completely forgot I was supposed to be in recovery and with lung pain at 5 weeks quit. My conclusion...is that my issues are either greatly related to anxiety and/or the walking/breathing greatly reduced chest pain. Some pain during afternoon walk but none during evening walk. No pain afterwards. I feel great. That's all! :D
March 12, 201511 yr Woke up this morning with incredible knee pain. Ugghhhh. Skipping leg class today. Those 100 squats from yesterday probably weren't a good idea for me. Ice, allieve, ice, rest Just abs challenge today
March 12, 201511 yr Author Walked about 38 minutes on treadmill at an incline then of course did day 5 babs abs no run today as my thighs are a bit sore so maybe tommorrow or on saturday
March 13, 201511 yr Great run today, even if it was in the basement. 5-miler, basement treadmill @32:44 (6:32/mile) Fastest 5-miler in 3 years... but not quite an Olde Pharte PR yet (32:03 back in 2012)...and nowhere near a lifetime PR (17-year-old Sarge could go sub-30) Last real workout before Sunday's 15k at the Heart Mini Marathon 15k (9.3 miles)
March 13, 201511 yr 1 hour cardio class done! My knee survived..let's see how i am tomorrow now off to do the ab challenge.......
March 14, 201511 yr CrossCycle tonight 45 minutes...am exhausted didn't sleep well last night, going to bed early tonight :lazy:
March 14, 201511 yr Thursday: 40 minute brisk walk, some hills lungs didn't hurt but felt like paper creepy 20 minutes throwing hay (at horse ranch) ...........next time will use nose filter mask.........lungs still feeling vulnerable Friday: Nothing because shins slightly sore from all the walking I started this week................and was feeling lazy Overall: 5 1/2 weeks quit................chest pain and tightness greatly reduced by getting out and exercising this week
March 14, 201511 yr 50 minute spin class this morning. Also used the rowing machine, chest press and lat pull down machine before class :)
March 15, 201511 yr 3 and 1/2 hours: ranch work - sweeping, throwing hay, barn maintenance, feeding and playing with frisky horses. None of this strenuous but required continuous movement. It was only afterwards I realized I didn't get out of breath and actually "forgot" I was in recovery from smoking. No chest pain or tightness. I practiced deep breathing while near horses and they liked it and kissed my face, and one horse got nose to nose and did deep breathing right along with me. It was great fun, and very healing.
March 15, 201511 yr Today made the most of our beautiful autumn weather and went hiking with Hb - shamed to say haven't done a proper hike for over a year and my butt and legs are now reminding me of this !!
March 15, 201511 yr Spin 45 minutes then did 45 minutes of weights class...the squatting, dropping the weights then squatting back down to pick them up is a killer.
March 15, 201511 yr 15k (9.3 miles) @ 1:07:29 (7:16/mile) The hills were horrible. Had a 6:50/mile pace goal. The hills quickly kicked that down to 7:15/mile. https://scontent-1.2914.fna.fbcdn.net/hphotos-xfp1/t31.0-8/10981065_922148354472399_3505981781470541204_o.jpg?efg=eyJpIjoibCJ9 Easy Peasy
