\"\"Guys, getting back into shape is hard.<\/p>\n

No really.\u00a0 It’s hard.<\/p>\n

But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth it.\u00a0 It’s absolutely definitely worth it.\u00a0 But getting back to running real distances is certainly a challenge.<\/p>\n

On to last week’s workouts.<\/p>\n

Monday – Pool was closed for the holiday, so I did a four mile run.<\/p>\n

Tuesday – Choir practice started up today (normally, it’s on Mondays) so I sucked it up and got up early to ride my bike for a little over an hour.\u00a0 Crushed it.\u00a0 Then stiffened up as the day went on.<\/p>\n

Wednesday – More trainer work, plus some strength work.\u00a0 That I am terrible about doing.<\/p>\n

Thursday – And the wheels fell off.\u00a0 I’m not sure why, but my hip was sore today when I tried to run.\u00a0 Not the pain of before, but it just didn’t feel great, so I only ran a mile and then went to foam roll.\u00a0 I’m pretty sure that I was just overly tight and so my stride was off, but it’s another reminder that just getting in the workouts isn’t enough – I need to prioritize rest and recovery too.<\/p>\n

Friday – Off to the pool.\u00a0 Plus strength work with noodle arms.<\/p>\n

Saturday – 4.8 mile run today, with none of the pain from Thursday.\u00a0 All that foam rolling helped a ton.<\/p>\n

Sunday – Thanks, rain.\u00a0 Instead of riding outdoors, I did an indoor brick with 90 minutes on the trainer and a mile on the treadmill.<\/p>\n

With a race on the horizon, I’m just about where I need to be, but still pretty far from Army Ten Miler distance, which is where I need to be in October.\u00a0 I’ll get there, but it’s slow going.<\/p>\n

And now, I’m off to foam roll again.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
