Running into daylight savings time - 11/01-11/7/09
Hello everyone! How did everyone do this weekend? Jolt I read your cc report and that sounds like you had a blast! And in vffs, too. Impressive!
I was out all day Saturday on the mountain bike and we were staying at my MIL's overnight so Sunday I did not get in my long run. It was just hard to get out of the house without feeling rude (though I wish now I had. I figured I'd get a run in when I got home but we ended up raking leaves all afternoon.)
Today I will walk the hills at lunch, and tonight I have my 2nd Pilates class.
Tomorrow I ride, Wednesday I will run. My plan is Wed. 6, thur. 3, Friday 4 and Saturday off. Sunday I think we are mountain biking again so I may have to adjust that plan but for now it will work.
My running career was short but sweet
Last Friday my traumatologist informed me that I have to cut back on my running, as I have signs of early degeneration in my hips--and my wonky knee (an old ACL injury) is getting wonkier (we'll probably operate on it in May or June). So he said to cut my running in half--from 12 km a week to 6. I was really enjoying the challenge of trying to increase distance and improve times, so now I'm having to readjust to it just being a warm-up for my weight training, which sounds totally boring. He also said I need to keep the weight down on the weight lifting, without trying to increase much even in the long run. Again, how boring. On the bright side, he said I can cycle as much as I want.
