Saturday, 04 February 2012 - Written by KathyStenson [profile] I completed my first week back running...and so far so good!! |
I'm easing back into running slowly, so Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday I did 30 minutes on the elliptical and ran a mile. Stretched thoroughly then went home and iced it.
Went to the physical therapist yesterday, she's pleased with my progress. My calf muscles are not quite as flexible as they should be, but definitely better and the yoga is two thumbs up!! She gave me some new exercises so I can focus on balance and form...keeping my knees over my feet while exercising and strentghtening my knees and ankles. I can now begin to slowly increase my mileage.
Today I did 3 miles on the elliptical and really focused on keeping a bit slower pace so I would be a little fresher for my run. I did 2 miles on the treadmill in 17:30 and I feel great!!! Stretched, iced, and super excited!!!
Thanks to all for your continued support, I'll update every week or so as my mileage hopefully increases and at some point I can actually be...on the road again!!
