Week 1 Report

As far as progress, I have made almost none. My focus was on working out everyday, no matter what. BUT, this has been a good week of establishing a routine. I did hit the treadmill every day after work, before I fed the horses. I am enrolled in 2 different programs; both of which I have done before. On Mon/Wed/Fri I do "Intro to Running" and on Tues/Thurs I do the Pyramids of Egypt walking tour.

I really need to start SLOW (which is very hard for me to do) so I do not aggravate my healing injuries. I really cannot get it through my thick skull that I am no longer 30 years old and in the best shape of my life. (I'm in shape alright, round is a shape! HAHA) Anyway, I need this comeback to be slow and steady and sustainable. I've got 2 weeks until the Great Virtual Half Marathon Walk with Karla. I have the route programmed into my treadmill and we are going to watch "Pride and Prejudice" during our race. (With plans to call each other in between episodes.)

This week I plan on continuing my daily workouts. I ordered more fresh fruits and veggies from my grocery pick up so that will help make my diet a little better. But really, I just want to focus making a new habit: working out. the diet will come with working out.

I am a Phoenix

No matter how many times I crash and burn, I will always rise and try again...

I found a great Chiropractor that practices both Eastern and Western techniques. I have been getting my ankle scrapped for the last 2 months, and now I am starting on my back. It seems that all those years I spent waiting for surgery and then recovering from surgery, a lot of my stabilizing muscles atrophied. I need a lot of help getting full(ish) function back.

My ankle is finally feeling strong enough to start walking on it, so, I am talking a walking tour of the Pyramids of Egypt on my treadmill. It is really cool. I am learning a lot about ancient Egyptian history and the Valley of the Kings has been my favorite so far.

So, here I am, a new beginning:
