Weekly Workouts!

28 miles this week with over half of them on trail!

Saturday- Lifting @ Planet Fitness and 35 minute Zumba workout in my carport! My favorite Zumba channel playlist so far is these videos by Zumba with Kristine.

Sunday- 10 Miles on the AT with Allison. Allison started at Boiling Springs and ran North. I met up with her at Trindle Road and we continued North for 5 miles and then turned back. She did 18 total and I ended up joining her for 10. We chatted the whole time, which made the run go really fast! She is a strong runner so she pushed me out of my lazy summer running comfort zone!

Muddy!!!

Monday- Lifting @ Planet Fitness and 10 minutes on the stair climber. I pushed it and went up over 50 floors!

Tuesday- 5 neighborhood miles. My back only got a little tight and was fine all day... until crosswalk duty, where I have to just STAND for 20 minutes straight. That made it ache. What a bummer. I can run 5 miles but I can't STAND STILL. 

Wednesday- 7 miles on the AT. It was a beautiful run and you can read more about it here.

Thursday- 6 neighborhood miles. I had the go ahead to run from my PT, as long as I did my "Standing trunk flexions" (bending over) 30 times before, during, and after my run. I tried hard to bring my pelvis back a bit during my run. My PT says I have hyperlordosis, or "anterior pelvis tilt" and that's what's causing my lower back pain. Unfortunately, my back was super sore all night and all day but it was because I got my period. I got zero sleep that night thanks to the pain.

Friday- 6 miles. I felt great during my run but my lower back felt a little tight as the day went on. I kept doing my bend overs though! I'm also making sure I tilt my pelvis forward when standing and walking around my room.

How were your workouts this week?
