    10 minutes on the treadmill = 1.76k

    So, today I said I was going to take a cardio rest day, but turns out I'm not very good at that! Went to the gym for upper body strength workout and hopped on the treadmill for 10minutes to warm up before hitting the weights. After I was done I jumped on the elliptical for 10mins and that was supposed to be it, but think the endorphins must have gotten going as then decided to do 5 minutes at a decent pace on rowing machine, and finished with 5 super minutes on a spin bike. Only 30minutes cardio total but not exactly a rest!

    @dkabambe you just jumped from cardio to cardio, awesome rest day ha ha I'm cracking up, treadmill, elliptical, rowing machine and bike! I think you had cardio ADHD instead of cardio rest. :wink: I should send Skip to the gym with you, that is her on a normal day, she hates cardio at the gym because she gets bored so she goes from thing to thing.
    @greenolivetree glad you are home and hopefully things will get back to normal soon
    @respectthekitty glad to hear your appointment was good.

    @skippygirlsmom In my head doing short all-out interval style efforts on the cardio machines uses my muscles more like a strength session so still counts as rest from cardio. I'm sure that's right...

    @dkabambe Your workout sounds fun to me because I'd get bored on those machines if I went longer. LOL If you used a lot of resistance it may have felt more like strength than cardio too.

    @skippygirlsmom Thanks :) Yes, "normal". Whatever that is :-p

    @RespectTheKitty Just take it a day at a time. I hope this med helps <3

    Anyone fancy a marathon in Cyprus in March (Sun 19th)?

    As the person that never wins anything, I've just won free race entry into the OPAP Limassol Marathon, which looks like a great flat course along the coast, and would be a wonderful trip but sadly I can't really spare the funds [for travel and accommodation - prize is only for race entry]. It also coincides with sister-in-laws birthday and thanks to my cold doubt I could be marathon ready by then!

    Anyway, I need to confirm my entry by this Thursday (6pm GMT) - not even sure I can register it in someone else's name but if there is anyone on these pages who is genuinely interested and genuinely thinks they'd be able to go then send me a private message, and I'll see if possible.

    1/24 - 4.3 mi.
    78.6/90 = Jan total
    Today was a horrible sloppy mess in Maine - freezing rain, sleet, wind, etc. No school for the kiddos. Gave me a chance to run on my treadmill during a different time of day than usual - a nice change in the routine.

    1/21- 13.11
    1/22- 3.14
    1/23- 5.06
    1/24- REST

    Total: 72.77

    Monthly goal: stay healthy and continue base building to start marathon training at the end of the month.
    Nominal mileage goal: 70 (revised down after injury).

    Today's notes: Rest day today, and I'm fine with that. With that nagging shin thing I have going, in addition to my calf still healing up, I'm fine with not running. Tomorrow is another scheduled 7 mile progression run. I'm planning on running the whole 7, but we'll have to see about the progression part of it.

    I Emailed my PT and told him what's happening, and he said to give it a week or so to see if things get better, to keep icing things when I'm sore, and see how it's doing. He also said that if it gets worse while resting, or starts hurting more while running, to contact him right away and he'll either have me come in, or direct me to see my GP who is actually a DO, so she might have an interesting perspective on things, if/when I need to see her.

    Hit my first daily double since my marathon. For those new to the thread, it's my fancy name for running doubles (twice in the same day). And before that, I actually got some weights in. I did some squats, deadlifts, and lunges. I even did some one legged squats using only body weight.

    Have a fabulous rest of the day!

    @dkabambe Haha, nice "rest day" workout :D

    @MNLittleFinn Glad you're keeping your PT in the loop about your shin/calf issues. Hope the nagging gets better soon!

    @greenolivetree Glad to see you are back home so you can get back in somewhat of a routine and gain back what normalcy you can.

    Got in 3 miles after work. I felt sooo slow, especially starting. Although with my stretch breaks cut out, Strava said 10:34 pace which isn't that terrible considering how little I've ran lately. My right calf was tight so I had to stretch a little a couple times.

    Weather was awesome! 64F and the wind was just right having died down from earlier in the day - and sunny! Fresh air and sun for my body & soul <3 Cold front coming tomorrow so next few runs will be cooler.

    My knee was fine. I think it was Wed-Sat nights it hurt? Odd that it hurt worse lying in bed than walking. The night before the knee pain started my hip hurt bad all night sleeping on the hospital couch, so I think there was a connection between the left hip pain and left knee pain, caused by couch sleeping :p

    @MNLittleFinn I must've missed that your shin hurts. Sorry you've had troubles lately.

    @OSUbuckeye906 Thanks and good luck with your recovery/therapy.

    @Stoshew71 Back to your daily doubles! B)
