Training Updates

Last week was finally the first week where I was able to get in two (very short) training runs and a couple stints on my new recumbent bike. I'm happy with my progress and finally starting to feel like myself again from my car accident a couple weeks ago. I managed to go the entire weekend without my wrist brace, and even put my bike together all by myself.

Monday:
Day off work (MLK Jr Day) - Dr. appt. at 10:40am to check on wrist. Repeat x-ray - no breaks, just a sprain. Got a spica splint that supported my thumb more.

Tuesday:
Physical therapy started again - no ankle weights. 3 sets. Leg lifts (on back and side). Bridges and clamshells. Resistance band side steps. Stretching. 10 squats.

Wednesday:
1 mile - 4 min walk / 1 min run intervals - 15:27

First day running in 2 weeks.
Still feeling little twinges in left hip, but started to let up when I got warmed up.

Thursday:

Physical therapy - no ankle weights. 3 sets. Leg lifts (on back and side). Bridges and clamshells. Resistance band side steps. Stretching. Foam rolling. 10 squats.

Friday:

Home sick - rest.

Saturday:

Still twinges in left hip, but stopped about a mile in once warmed up.
