Hey Everyone,
I apologize that I haven't blogged in 2 weeks. Sadly, my back hasn't improved much, so I haven't been running, for 3 weeks now. Not only has this been a frustrating, it has been extremely difficult. I haven't been able to continue training and my 5 km run is fast approaching. I keep getting words of encouragement that everything will be fine and I have plenty of time left. It just doesn't seem that way... How can I run, if I walk with pain. How am I going to be able to run this entire 5 km run? I have doubts that I will be able to run it all, hopefully I'll be able to run at least half... It's better then nothing right?
This Friday I plan on trying to do some running intervals and see if there is any pain with that. So I am going back to week 2 intervals of 1 min run/ 1 min walk for 21 minutes including 5 min warm up and 5 min cooldown. I will post a blog this weekend updating my measurements, weight and picture for March.
Sorry guys there is so little to tell. I have my good days and bad days and sadly it's not getting better as quickly as I had originally hoped. I have been walking for an hour twice a week for 5 km. I just need to get back to running and weights. I also plan on getting to CXWORX on Sunday and work harder on my core. That's a major player in my injury. If my core strength were better, I may not have the issues I am dealing with now :/
Please stay tuned, I'll get back to my routine!
Julie
