2 Magical Healing Miles with Tory REAL slow just to get blood flowing AHR 133

Rest up weekend racers!

Steve

morning boomers,

nice run, DH.

Ruth, I am so glad you're here. you can help me keep the average down.

cj, yay!

daveinAA, i've been wondering what the diagnosis was and how you were doing. if full blown empathy does any good, you have it. it's just been 2 weeks for me (not to mention our different levels in the first place) & I am not handling it at all well. one thing that's eating my head is thinking about the slow re-entry process to prevent re-injury. deep breath.
thanks for reporting what you've been doing, it helps me be determined to find something I can do.

yesterday, grass cutting etc. last night, SS stability ball planks, wimpy superman lifts & ab stuff. this morning pilates workout 1, callans hips sitting bent leg but only could do 1 leg. pt exercises.

another stupid question. how does swimming with a pull buoy work? do they ever have them at the pools, or you bring your own?

such a happy running weekend!

Most pools, including the Y, have a stash at poolside. They are useful because they stabilize your lower body without the need to kick, so you have a bit less to think about and can focus on your stroke. And they raise you up in the water, so you can move a little faster, especially if you otherwise suffer from Sinking Butt Syndrome. Triathletes sometimes swim with one or even two pull buoys to simulate the buoyancy of a wetsuit.

3 miles this morning at a slow 11:44. Struggled to do this 3 not because of the leg. It is really surprising how much conditioning you can lose in a few weeks.

Good runs all.

Okay, Dave, I've seen pictures of you....no one would ever accuse you of suffering from this malady...

DH - fast guy...

X-training day for me: weighted squats, dead lifts, weighted duck squats, bench step-ups, lateral raises, seated reverse flies, triceps extensions, various ab stuff.

I can already tell that I'll be sore tomorrow from this mornings lower body set. That's a good thing, though. Due to race tapers, I've been doing less weights work lately, but now that I have the big races over with, time to get back to a more balanced routine.

Happy Monday!


Edited to make Dave a little bolder...
