Being injured has resulted in some bad habits. I find myself not as invested in watching my calories and staying active. In my head it's like "if I can't run, then I don't want to do ANYTHING..." That's a bad bad mantra right there. I did buy a weightlifting book for women and I am excited at the concept of lifting weights. I've lifted in the past and find that I prefer it to cardio usually, but somehow this hasn't been enough to actually get me to use my gym membership. I need to finish the book so I can begin the program. I think it will be critical to breaking through my plateau. Plus, I really just like the look that lifting weights gives to a body. I just want to be nice and toned.
I am so glad it is Friday. I feel like this week was far too busy and hectic for its own good, and I am ready for a weekend where I can just unwind. I plan on trying to run a mile on my leg and see if it is healed up enough to get back into the running groove. If not, I'll make an appointment with a PT straight away. I'm just really hoping that I can get back up to my level of running soon. I miss the big mileage runs!
What plans do you have for the weekend?
You certainly need time to unwind. I hope you have a restful weekend and that your leg is healed.
ReplyDeleteMy weekend includes a possible 3 mile run/walk and reading Harry Potter.
I am running a 5km race tomorrow just for fun. I think hubby and I might go see a movie (I'm drawn to that red riding hood movie)
ReplyDeleteWe all have the upchucks, so it's not been a week of activity for me. The weekend will be low-key as well. I hope you heal quickly!!!! It's so hard to lay low when you're revved up.
ReplyDeleteHoping your leg feels better, and you are having a great (and healthy) weekend!
