Treadmill, Stair-Stepper

Posted: January 31, 2008 in Stair-Stepper, Treadmill

Comments: My thought process over the course of the morning: At my desk: “I’ll run the 2 miles outside, I haven’t run outside in a while…maybe I’ll run tomorrow, I just don’t feel like working out….oh, snow and ice tomorrow, well I’ll run today…” Lockerroom: “Crap, what the hell is wrong with me, why didn’t I [...]

2 miles @ work treadmill

Posted: January 28, 2008 in Treadmill

Comments: I did not get my outdoor running clothes ready, so I ran on the treadmill instead. I noticed also, even though I am slower on the treadmill overall I spend less time in the gym if I run 2 miles indoors instead of outdoors. Perhaps it’s because of less layers and the fact that I [...]

2 miles @ home (12:05)

Posted: January 19, 2008 in Running

Comments: I felt pretty good. Ran faster than I thought I would. For some reason I thought I would not be able to run two miles, but I still felt good at the end of mile two. I walked in the door and serenaded my husband and kids with the song “I feel good!”  To [...]

Dr. visit

Posted: January 18, 2008 in Doctor Visit

The doctor is not sure why I am still hurting…he wants to give my body time to heal and re-evaluate me in 4 weeks. I am better than I was 4 weeks ago, so perhaps it’s just taking time to heal. I am looking forward to running tomorrow…gonna see if I can handle the cold [...]

1 mile @ work (11:09)

Posted: January 17, 2008 in Running

Comments: Well…my “innerts” didn’t fall out and I didn’t flop on the floor with major camps…so I guess all is well. However…I still have the same pains as I did before. Not nearly as strong, but I still have them. Hopefully I’ll get some insight on it tomorrow. The run in itself was good. It was [...]

Bike @ work 21 min

Posted: January 15, 2008 in Biking

Rode the stationary bike at work for 21 min, covering 7.5 miles.  My body is not ready to run yet. The incision at my navel is still sore (but healing just fine).  Overall I feel much better, the pains I had before the procedure are minimal. Follow up with the doctor is the end of this week.
