What happened to October? Yikes I have not been blogging about my workouts. I find this blog quite helpful tracking my workouts, training, and moods. So I hope to get it rolling again.
I have been working out pretty regularly--about 4-5 times a week. Tracy and I have been running on Mondays. Since I took on another client, Mondays are my only mornings I start work at 8:30. Tuesdays and Thursdays are 7:10 and Wednesdays and Fridays are 7:30. Tuesdays I have tried to go to Power. I missed once due to setting my alarm for pm instead of am. I felt bad because I told Tracy I was going and she even set up my bench for me. I think she was annoyed. Wednesdays I have gone to swim consistently. I only missed this week with Rob being away. Thursdays are my new day off and that has worked well. I have youth sometimes as late as 9 Wednesday nights. It's too hard to get up. Fridays I have gone to Group Ride consistently. The weekends really vary. I have mostly done some runs. I have not done Saturday Power or Saturday Ride since August. I have not ridden my bike outside since mid September.
I was in Chicago for a few days and I ran 6 miles in the nature preserve while I was there. It was a fabulous run. I was not too tired after I came home. I managed to run last week Monday with Tracy. Rob left for Ukraine a few hours later. So I have done nothing in a week, but I have not minded the time off. I am not craving exercise like I normally do when Rob is away, but I am ready to get back into it.
My right calf still hurts off and on. It does not hurt much when I run. By the end of the day it is always sore. It has been sore throughout the day as well. I have iced it off and on. I tried rolling it, but it's hard to roll your calf. Sometimes I think it might be related to the IT band injury because it's the same leg. I have only been running 1-2 times a week since the marathon in May so I don't feel like it's overuse. I feel like if I can run without pain, I am not going to worry too much about it. I ran into a piano bench in the fellowship hall (it was dark--not that clumsy) and thought for sure I injured my knee. It hurt so bad I was wincing in pain. It hurt the rest of the evening but I barely have a bruise at all.
I have eaten terrible while Rob has been gone and a little afraid to step on the scale. We have eaten the quick meals and pizza twice. Halloween candy doesn't help. I am going to have to be more disciplined starting this coming week. I really don't want to be a slave to the calorie counting.
Anxiety wise I did awesome while Rob was away the first seven days. I was thinking--"Wow, people must be praying for me because I am doing amazing." I had zero anxiety and was very motivated. Everything went smoothly. Even with having zero time to myself and the house crawling with kids. Yesterday except for the Halloween festivities at night was hard--I felt really off. This afternoon was even worse...I lost it with the kids. I almost called someone because I felt so overwhelmed. The kids and I talked it out and we got through it. Rob comes home tomorrow. Little triggers of things cause anxiety and some days are worse than others.
