I'm so glad we have this blog! I was really thinking on what I've been doing for the last month and I realized I was just exercising because it is this thing I do. Not because I was really enjoying it so much or because I was challenging myself. I don't think it is a bad thing to just do it because it is 'what I do'. That is a good thing actually. But I want it to be fun and enjoyable!
After reading your post last night, I got to thinking about my pushups. I've been doing fewer. Just kind of slacking in general. Been eating too much. But our blog motivated me! And I kept thinking about how hard you are working over there and how cool it is that you can run again!
So!
I had a really great run this morning. I did my 3 mile in 29:20. And then I decided to do one more! And my 4 mile time was 39:47. I often think (at the beginning of my run) "I just might do 4 today!" By the end of the run it no longer sounds like such a great plan! But today I decided to do it.
I'm working on getting back up to my 4 sets of 14 pushpus. Today I did 4 sets of 12. It was hard!
Then I ran at lunch today. Really nice day out today. Not too hot but just right where the sun felt delicious!
Been thinking of you! Excited to hear how it goes for you tomorrow. Did your leg feel fine throughout the day? Did you ice again after your run?

Good morning. Yes, I sat on ice yesterday for a while but the leg felt fine then and all day. This morning I did the aerobic bike and walking routine. Still alternating every other day.
Funny you should post what you did here because I sure haven't felt very motivated this week at all! I go through periods when I do and periods when I don't. Guess that's the rythym of life. So we just keep at it. Part of my problem at the moment is that I would rather be outside. Have to come to SD to do that.
I am just amazed at the times you are posting and so consistently, too. Congratulations.
Gotta go to work. Have a good day.
That is such good news about your leg. I bet Ann would be happy to hear that!
You know, I think you are right. Things just go in cycles. As long as I keep doing the next right thing - even if I don't really want to - I should come out OK.
Thanks! Yeah, I am feeling in the zone at this pace!
