Negin Posted June 15, 2014 Author Share Posted June 15, 2014 Stretching only - this will all be that I can do until Thursday or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mommyfaithe Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Ran 4 yesterday ....after driving 6 straight hours! I should have stretched! I was so antsy and it was such nice weather ( very rare these days) that I jumped out of the car, grabbed my trainers and iPod, and off I went. Hard run! Went out too fast, and shins are sore! Want to run again today, but should unpack and clean up kids mess first! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 15, 2014 Share Posted June 15, 2014 Faithe, I drove 7 hrs yesterday! It must have been the day for long drives. But I opted for yoga instead of a run. :) Today I ran 6 miles. The weather was perfect. I'm hoping for a whole summer of mid 50 mornings and no humity, I know that it's unlikely, but I'm hoping. (I can remember 1 summer like that in the 12 years that we've lived here). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have my trainers by the door....only got 16 miles in last week...need at least 25 this week to keep up on my 15 k training plan. I have to find some time for longer runs and some strength training. Last week was a total bust....this is a new week! Time for me to get serious busy again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted June 16, 2014 Share Posted June 16, 2014 Plugging away. Not very enthusiastically at the moment, but definitely consistently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Slowly starting back again. Did some floor work moves for lower body and yoga stretches. Hoping to be able to do 1 or 2 Classical Stretch workouts later today. I've missed working out and being consistent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yay Negin! It's good to be back to the grind, right? Yesterday I misread my WO planner and I did a level that I'm not ready for on accident. So stupid! :banghead: My shoulders are killing me. Need to stick to the program!

TammyinTN Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Walked 5 miles yesterday. Today- T25 and 30 minutes on treadmill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 5 mile run, then some strength training. I haven't done any for a couple of weeks, so today it felt hard but good. I just did 3x5 deadlifts,and then x10 push-ups, pull-ups and heavy swings. I want to increase my miles run durning the week, so I plan to do stength work but keep it short and sweet.

Mom-ninja. Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Today was upper body plus cardio. This cardio video was fun. Then stretching. My knee was bothering me a bit yesterday after my wo so today I taped it with KT Tape. Anyone use this? Today was the first time. Don't really know if I did it correctly. One piece started coming off half way through my wo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Let me present myself as a cautionary tale: Remember on Saturday when I posted I felt like a train had hit me but was headed out for a martial arts work out anyway? Dumb. I had developed a small charlie horse in both calves but kept working. Dumber. After checking the clock and thinking to myself- time for one more Thai combo with my sensei before I have to hit the showers; I threw a foot jab and experienced blinding pain that took me to the ground. That little charlie horse from overwork had shortened my calf muscle enough that when I kicked I tore my calf muscle. So now I'm in a boot and on crutches. Hopefully I will ditch the crutches by the end of the week but the ortho said depending on how it goes in physical therapy I could be in the boot upwards of 3 weeks. MA testing is this Saturday. I won't be there... On the up side I still can do upper body and core workouts and in a week swim or cycle if it doesn't hurt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negin Posted June 17, 2014 Author Share Posted June 17, 2014 Yay Negin! It's good to be back to the grind, right? Love this beautiful piece: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=21kz3rpCNJE#t=0 Thank you :). It is lovely to be back. Wow. I wish I could do a move like that. There are some yoga moves - Crane or whatever they're called - that I can never do. My wrists are just not strong enough. So now I'm in a boot and on crutches. Hopefully I will ditch the crutches by the end of the week but the ortho said depending on how it goes in physical therapy I could be in the boot upwards of 3 weeks. Sorry to hear this :grouphug: . Hope you heal okay. Easy to say, but hard to do I know: try and be patient and just enjoy your time of recuperation. Probably not something you want to hear :confused1: . Get some good books or movies and be easy on yourself, if possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 17, 2014 Share Posted June 17, 2014 Oh no! I'm sorry. It's so hard to be patient during recovery. We'll try and help you out by telling you to take it easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snickerdoodle Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 My goal today is not to cry during my WO. Last time I had to do one of these elements I ended up bursting out in tears. I'm pretty sure it was because heat and humidity just makes everything more awful than it is. Today is already hot and humid so.... :scared: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rieshy Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Thanks for all the well wishes. I had my first physical therapy- calf already feels better and I'm walking in just the boot now- crutches are gone:) I did FB advanced lower ab workout with my boot on- whew. Couldn't do all the moves but it felt good and didn't put any weight on my lower legs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Rieshy, it's good to hear you're on the mend. I'm sorry you're gonna miss the belt testing. I can't imagine trying to continue a sequence with a charlie horse. Mommy, you're a stud. My WO is done and I didn't cry. LOL. Of course, I put the fan blowing right on my face/body but that doesn't diminish the WO, right? If you've looked at any of the vids I posted you could probably guess what my end goal is. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 Snickerdoodle- looked at the last video you posted. Wow!! Yes, I would cry too. If I could do those moves it might be tears of joy mixed in too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 18, 2014 Share Posted June 18, 2014 I'm still a long way from that! The shoulder opening and strengthening routine is pretty rough though. Dare to dream! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joyofsixreboot Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Did a 15 mile bike ride yesterday ( at the crack of dawn because it's so humid). Cracking thunderstorms this morning so no going out. I will try to do yoga or Kettlebell tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kim in Appalachia Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Yesterday afternoon I was able to get in a 30 minute yoga practice. This morning I ran 5 miles and came home and jumped in my pool! It was the first time I was able to do that since I normally run while my kids are at swim practice and our pool was out of commission for a week because we got a new liner. I then got in 3x5 clean and presses and 1 arm rows, followed by 10 heavy swings. It feels good to get back to some strength work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom31257 Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 20 minute walk with dh (He has an interview.) Will do the 2 hour cleaning job tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rieshy Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Fb abs boot camp and then stretches and calf exercises. Later today I'll be splashing gently about in a friend's pool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 I'm cautiously posting here. I'm feeling better again so I'm trying to slowly start exercising again. We had a 30 min walk last night while the kids rode their bikes. I was going to sprint but my body isn't ready yet, my endurance and strength are pretty low. Until I can consistently get sleep that is probably par for the course. Today I did 3 rounds of kettlebell swings, one legged squats, hip thrusts and pull-up work (I'm using suspension straps- cannot remember now what its called). I'm aiming to do 3 rounds a few times a week and walking/biking a few times as well. I think I'm going to use the MuTu System, my abs definitely need to gain some strength. I'm trying not to think about what level I want to be and working where I'm at, it does me no good to push too hard and end up on my butt again.

Mom-ninja. Posted June 19, 2014 Share Posted June 19, 2014 Today was brutal! HIIT Ladder Outer Thigh Butt Blaster (after the 2 above routines this one is 5 minutes through hell) Stretching Whew! Tomorrow is low impact for sure. I need a nice yin dvd. Still haven't gotten one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom-ninja. Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 So my knee was protesting just a little yesterday. So I bought a band and a book to see if I can take of this once and for all and prevent future injury. Hopefully, it's a good book. Has anyone tried "jumper knee" bands?

Kim in Appalachia Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 I've never heard of the jumper knee bands. I hope it helps. Today was a 5 mile run. I changed my normal route because it started to thunder, so after my park loop I headed home, but when I got to the bottom of my hill it still wasn't raining, so I ran up another hill before heading home. It turned into quite a workout. Because of the thunder my 3rd mile was a minute faster than my normal pace, then I added a half mile long hill. I did a quick jump in my pool (I know I shouldn't have, but it felt so good!) then did some kettlebell. Today was single leg deadlifts, push-ups, pull-ups, and swings.

Joyofsixreboot Posted June 20, 2014 Share Posted June 20, 2014 Got in a quick 3 miles before a MD appt. Kim- I had thunder too and sped up. Maybe I should run more in inclement conditions :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negin Posted June 21, 2014 Author Share Posted June 21, 2014 I started doing Mark Laham Yoga yesterday morning and then my computer crashed in a very bad way.

rieshy Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 On Thursday my sensei asked me if I wanted a challenge. He said that sometimes for testing they like to throw a curveball to a student and handicap them in someway and then make them test with whatever handicap. He asked me to try testing with my boot on- mostly from a chair, using a cane to simulate my kicks. It means figuring out how to modify all the moves to do them from a position I'm not used to. My kids want me to. It's going to be a little embarrassing- but I've decided to do it. I worked from a chair at home last night and realized I depend on my legs to tell my body where to go in all my Katas and Thai Combos so I had to rethink EVERYTHING. I'm excited and nervous, and embarrassed but testing- here I come. Perhaps now if I'm ever attacked in a sitting position I'll be prepared:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snickerdoodle Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 On Thursday my sensei asked me if I wanted a challenge. I'm very impressed with this. What a great way to make you really think about cues in spatial awareness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soror Posted June 21, 2014 Share Posted June 21, 2014 I did my kettlebell/strength workout yesterday and added a few more reps. I plan to do the same today and get in some type of family walk/ride tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
