Checking In

First of all, I'm happy to report that I am still on track with with my Run Streak goal. 20 days in a row. On some of those days I completed just one mile - such as my colonoscopy prep day (one mile before I started all the concoctions) and then the day of my procedure (waited until very late in the day) - but one mile is the minimum that I set for this goal.

On Wednesday, I went to the Strength and Mobility for Healthy Running clinic that Athletic Annex (a local running store) and St. Vincent Sports Performance were putting on at the new St. Vincent facility downtown.

It was very informative. You can click HERE and watch the clinic or go to the Athletic Annex Facebook page. I now need to go get a Lacrosse ball to help massage my Piriformis! 

On Thursday, I started Boot Camp classes! I learned about it via our County's Visitor Center Blog and although I had missed the first 3 classes, the instructor said it wouldn't matter. 

I took a Boot Camp class many years ago and LOVED it so I was really looking forward to trying it again. And although I'd have to get up really early, the time frame would allow me to still make it back home in time to get ready for work. 

I was not surprised that I couldn't start with heavier weights. I'm hoping that I'll get back there eventually but I've been having some shoulder issues lately as well. I'm not going to try to be a hero and do more than I should and end up getting injured. Classes take place every Tuesday and Thursday from 5:15 AM to 6:15 AM. I've totally neglected cross training so I'm hoping this will help with both my running and overall health. 

Now...I've got to get back on doing more stretching as well!
