Monday, January 13th:

30 minutes treadmill running, incline 1.5, at 4.7, then five minutes walking, five minutes running at 4.8, five minutes walking, five minutes running at 5.0, then done.

The running actually helped some of the stiffness from yesterday's leg workout, but my thighs and my glutes are definitely hurting, even through the Advil.

But the price of the run was being late for work because I got stuck in a traffic jam caused by a stalled-out car in a bottlenecked area.

Jan 12: 12 min on stair stepper, barbell shoulder press, bench dips, lat pulldowns, planks, Roman chair leg raises, barbell deadlifts (75 lb, working my way back up after injury!), 12 more min on stair stepper.

50 minutes weight lifting (shoulders chest triceps)
30 minutes foam rolling

Thursday, Jan. 16:

I was supposed to run this morning but I woke up at 2 AM & couldn't sleep, and so I was very, very tired by 5:45 AM, which is usually when I head to the gym. Ran just five minutes at 5 mph, incline of 1.5, and worried I'd hurt myself on the treadmill because I wasn't reacting quickly or picking up my feet very well. Switched over to the elliptical and did 60 minutes, alternating forward & backward, random intervals, resistance at nine, pouring sweat.

60 minute Pilates mat class later on tonight, dissatisfied with my reflection in the mirror. It's always the hips & thighs & calves that bother me. There are some really slender women in Pilates, including a few that look downright bony.
