LOL ... you guys make me smile!
Helen: So good to see you and YAY on the EVERY DAY ....
Lili: Gotta be honest here - - I frequently mix you up at first glance with Kay! I don't know why (I think it's the dog avatar.) but then I have to go -- No! Wait! That's Lili, not Kay!
But glad to have you back every day to check in.
Me, me and all me. . . almost done with week 1 of goals:
3/7/2020: 45 minute Run with Olivia (Peloton) on the treadmill. I have to say, this consistency works. My speed was up. Far faster than ever. Maybe as body weight goes down, consistency goes up, I will in fact get faster.
(Bearing in mind that faster is still a snail's pace and I'm aok with that!!!!) Tacked on a
10 minute cooldown walk and then did
5 minute (Peloton) Dead bug abs (makes session #2 for the week).
To complete my week of goals, I need one more ab session and one lower body session. On the docket for today.
I also ordered a deep tissue massage (kinda looks like a gun) thingee from Amazon. I had some problems with my hip and thought it was from running. But the more I thought about it, it was from Gin's workout. Probably the lunges and such. It was fine within 24 hours. Got some form pointers on running from Daphne, which I used on yesterday's run. Yesterday's run though, my ham string on the same leg started talking to me (almost cramping). At mile 3. So, I stretched and got a good night's sleep. Again, this a.m.? Feels fine. So ... I'm anxious to see how the deep tissue massager feels on these sore areas when they occur. You all know I suffer terribly from DOMS at any given workout. And I won't even talk about the tension I carry in my neck and shoulders.
after today's workout (Cuz I'm doing my weeks: Mon-Sun.) I'm on to a new week with the same goals:
- Run: 2-3x a week
- Mile a day (on either treadmill - can be combined with above, elliptical or outside)
- One each: Upper body, total body, lower body session
- Abs: 3 sessions a week
Then whatever else I do (bike?) can be whatever I want. I need to look for and remember what the old KCM premix I used to use for lower body. It was quick, I loved it, it got the job done and involved sideway walks with a band, some curtsy dips, and a few other things. Hmmm. Must recheck MORE logs. (I hit 2018-2019 and couldn't find it.) I could probably do a search here at VF and find it also!
I have also been enjoying walking on the treadmill or elliptical on the days I do the bike. I walk for 20-30 minutes to warm up as I read (yet another goal and working my way through my latest book!) Did I mention how happy my fun rides made me this week? (Big Band ride? 70s rock ride?)
it was fun going through the old logs. I actually had some months where I only had 2 workouts.
I can't imagine that, but there it was in black and white. Other months, you could tell my focus (steps - recordered them) Run bets, step bets, etc, etc. It was actually kinda neat. I should look at the one from 2011 and see what IT says. . . Yes! I save them all...
Ok, off to get gas at Costco, a few supplies at BJs, home to exercise, off to Pokemon and then dinner with the family in celebration of birthdays! (We're way behind.) I worked yesterday, so the weekend is short.
Make it a great day.
Till either later tonight or tomorrow!
