Today I decided to rest, kind of. I took the day off from running, which was called for with my plan since yesterday was my long run. I am just replacing this weeks short run (which should be tomorrow) with my mid week long run so that I can meet Mel-Tall Mom for a lunch 7 miler!
Yay!! I figured it best to have a rest day in here, especially considering my throat hurts and I have an annoying cough AND oh yeah, my leg just might fall off. Maybe I am falling apart. Or maybe I am just in the throes of training. My smart sister sent me some exercises to initiate to strengthen my hips, core, and back. I agree that I just need to strengthen those muscles and hold that darned hip in place. So I am going to give the exercises a try and take the
wait and see approach when it comes to seeing the doctor. Thanks to all of you for your input. I must admit, if I wasn't enjoying my training so much and didn't have a marathon on the books I would probably take myself to the doc. BUT I will see how this goes and I will listen to my body, it hasn't told me to lay off just yet.
Here is my first video on the blog...no laughing!
Today I did 10 min on the elliptical to warm up before hitting the weights. And that about does it for my workout today.
Today I am grateful for:
Babysitters.
Flip Flops. That's right, I have been wearing them...out of the house.
Clean, fresh laundry. Even though I have to fold it!
Post 103! Remember...105 is my giveaway post!
I didn't laugh - promise! OK, I might have chuckled.
ReplyDeleteLiked the video a lot. I hope your hip gets better soon.
ReplyDeleteThanks! Good stuff...hope you get swift results!
ReplyDeleteGreat video :-) Hoping you get better quickly!!
ReplyDeleteA video is a great idea! Hope you are all better soon.
ReplyDeleteSending good vibes for a speedy recovery. Nice video!
ReplyDeleteUgh hip problems :( When my back was hurting the doctor gave me most of those exercises to do...actually in combination with a stability ball. Works alright I guess when I actually do them. We'll see what the physical therapist tells me to do about my hip problem next week :) I hope your hip gets better!
ReplyDeleteGreat video. I can definitely tell that side is weaker than the other. I think they will help soon. I'm going to send you an email with a few pointers momentarily.
ReplyDeleteHope these work soon for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat video! I hope your exercises work quickly!
ReplyDeleteLove the video!!!
ReplyDeleteHope the exercises work wonders!
good call on listening to your body. I have had great luck with stretching and strengthening
ReplyDeletecan't wait to finally meet in seattle, you are a luck duck to run with Mel frequently
You are so cute in your video! That was great! I did a few of those exercises when I had hip problems and I saw results really quick (like 1-2 weeks but i wasn't doing any running while strengthening). Hope these work for you!
ReplyDeleteYou crack me up!! Love it.. Although hubby looked over on the second to last position and asked me what I was watching LOL!!
