How Hard Can It Be? 6.0

[Veronica]

I ran six miles on Saturday.

Shawna did a boot camp on Sunday. That was a lot of fun, lots of sprinting and other intense cardio.


Group shot at the end.

Today was upper body and abs. This is robot push ups with hands on a Bosu, feet on a fit ball. Super hard!


I have a tough week this week with meetings today, tomorrow, chiro appointment on Wed., Open House on Thursday. The PTA is also doing Teacher Appreciation week, that means an abundance of not healthy food will be in the staff room. It's very sweet of them, but I don't need the extra calories.

Look at all of those smiles, and the one guy is getting some serious air! The pushups do look very hard, will have to try them when my shoulder calms down

Those pushups look crazy hard. Yes, I want to try one, even knowing I'll embarrass myself. Congrats on getting rid of the headaches!

Awesome that you are getting rid of headaches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love my sports chiro too!

Nice! I really like my chiro, too. I schedule my visits around when I work from our office up here instead of Austin. I'm sure I could find someone, but I HATE finding new doctors when I like the one I've got. Same with my massage guy.

Love the jump shot, too.

I took the bikes over to my chiro session yesterday and met Thom at the base of Mount Diablo. We rode up 5 miles at a leisurely pace. Normally my heart rate averages in the 160s when I climb Diablo. Last night's average was a whopping 137! It was pleasant. I saw a snake - didn't stop to check it out, a flock of turkeys and a deer. It was very windy and the descent was "interesting". A couple of times I would come around a corner and the wind would push me off the line I wanted. It's a pretty twisty descent so I don't hit super high speeds - right around 30 mph is usually my high point. But towards the bottom, the wind was a tail wind and I hit 37 mph.

Chiro session was interesting. I sent him my video from the HIM Thom and I did last year so he could see my running form. Pretty much it sucks. I run from my knees and heel strike; I hope I can undo 5 years of bad habits. Part of my therapy is also sessions with a PT and I have gotten some really good stretches from her. I'm really flexible is some areas and completely bound up in others.

It was a late night for me and I'm pretty tired today. Tonight is another late night with Open House.

Sounds like things are going well!! I love the jump shot above. It's great to hear that you're getting help with your aches, pains and running form.

You're inspiring.
