Never tell your trainer you have a playground near you...

Him: here put this knapsack on with 16pounds of weight and some other stuff in it and let's jog there(to the park)

Me: uh really?

Him: Ya get going!

Me: uh ok...puts on bag and waddles/jogs over there and is quite red faced by the time we get there

Him: Ok 2 mins of step ups on the bench to warm up then 1min each leg of single leg ups then jog over to the stairs and use the bands to do upper body twists and then over to the BOSU for squats then do lateral shuffles to the slide for push ups (ME: you do remember one hand is in a cast right???) then jog over pick up the bag and the run the circuit I gave you. I will time the run so you can try to beat it....ok? Let's go

Me: Are you freaking serious?

Him: Yes now get going - we need to do this 3 times before we move on

Me: WE...where is the WE in this? *grumbles a bit more then starts"

Him: Ok done the 3 times..let's finish running up and down these stairs 9 times and once you get to the top we will finish with 6 steps up with that big step"

Me: Uh can I just TRY to catch my breath and try not to puke from the first thing? *grumbles, rasps for breath, and whines* but then gets to starting....

Him: (on the walk back): There didn't that feel great

Me: no answer as i am trying to breathe with my tomato face

Take: 123456789.098765431..AND GO

30mins on the elliptical today..got a good sweat and hand only hurt a bit. Still struggling with the consistency but that is more mental than physical so going to try to help the mental by being active daily- at least 30mins

Day 1: check!

Interval and abs with the trainer -outdoors

May 9:2009

5K charity walk with the family.

may 9th I ran

Was supposed to run 6K but measured the course short- 5.48K I wrapped my cast in saran wrap as it has bee raining today. It sprinkled a little while I was running but cast did not get wet on the outside, just really sweaty on the inside...ick and hopefully not too stinky!

................back at it.

Saturday May 2, 2009: Ran today and an update

I ran today. First run with my cast. I *technically* was told not to run but I cannot see how it would upset the healing since I kept it pretty steady AND the cast is so snug.

10 and 1's was the plan and towards the end it became 4 and 1's as I was getting hot and tired and frankly am out of shape;)

I felt good I ran and will either walk or run today as well. However I am feeling (it was today this came up) very lonely in my training and left behind. I am not sure if I feel *I* left myself behind or feel left behind from others.
