How are you and how was your week?

2

Last week report:
Journal every day - most days!
Hip exercises every day - did 6 days
Shoulder pt - did a few things on my own, first appt is this AM (was hoping they could fit me in last week but they couldn’t)
7/7 healthy coping - done, yesterday was the 20th day in a row!!! I have worked HARD for this
Sustainable running- tried and did run less than last week, but high hamstring tendonitis is still bugging me so the amt of running I did didn’t accomplish this. Running this week will be minimal if any
Rest day mon - I did that!

Workouts
1 rest day (didn’t even go for a walk)
1 x 2700 yds ish swim (just sidestroke and easy breaststroke)
5 runs (27.8 mi total)
Bunch of walking
One very short “lift” that was mostly hip exercises, but involved a couple machines instead of just body weight exercises

Goals this week
Let hamstring tendons get better
7/7 healthy coping
Hip and shoulder rehab stuff daily
Journal every day
Swim tba, will update after I see the PT (who is a former college swimmer- I did my research)

Affirmation and mantra this week is “I can stick to my plan”

Non exercise things to look forward to this week
Mailing some valentines and a cool random gift I found for someone
Tapping my maple trees
I have some interesting books to read
I might go to poetry open mic night tonight- I did memorize something to perform

sticking to my plan today was hard but I did it and I’m proud of myself!

I have been sticking to the plan and SO PROUD OF MYSELF because it isn’t easy. (It might be getting a bit easier?)

I’m a touch anxious right now. Deploying the skills. I can handle this. I WANT to handle this healthfully.
