Started with a new trainer last week and she is kicking my ass! I have a package that I need to use up so I'm seeing her 2/week for the next 3 weeks.
There is an outdoor pool that is a 5 minute walk from my new apartment so I've been getting in about 1000 - 1500 yards 2x/week. It has been wickedly hot this summer and the pool has felt great.
My PF is still bothering me but getting a bit better. I finally saw a podiatrist and he ordered orthotics for me which come in this week. I have a hard splint to sleep in and my recovery seems to be quicker. I still ice with a frozen water bottle or paper cup. Stretching, etc. The recovery from a long walking day is speeding up a bit which is a good sign.
My knee isn't bothering me at all which is surprising. Fingers crossed it stays that way. Even adding walking to my routine will help.
I keep packing on the pounds and it is so depressing but I need to break that cycle and I'm the only one who can do it.
Workout goals this week:
Swim 1000yards + Mon and Wed
Trainer Tuesday and Saturday
Thursday is the last day of my ceramics class so no workout. Friday is the podiatrist so I might not get anything in. Will have to play it by ear. Sunday is shelter day and I never workout then, too tired :-)
