4 Jan: CrossFit
5-8 Jan: None
9 Jan: 11 min run
--------------------------------------------------
Excuses?--With the exception of Friday (getting up at 4AM, driving to Charleston, arriving back at home at 10PM), I should have worked out before work on the other days. It's very difficult to get up early, but I've done it before.
Goals--When it comes to goals and performance, I like to remain optimistic, but I really don't think Boston is going to happen this year. I still think I might be in good enough shape/healed in time for the AF Marathon, but 3 months isn't enough time to prepare for Boston. I'm sad, but I need to heal.
The Plan--When I came up with rules for myself when I was living in MD, it worked out really well. I'll try to add a rule or two per week and see where that takes me.
Rule 1: Eat a salad for lunch
Rule 2: Develop weekly workout milestones
This Week--Go to CrossFit once, do one CrossFit Endurance workout on the rower, swim before work, ride 60 min on my bike. Anything else is extra credit. Plus I have one week until my fitness test, which I need to stop stressing about. 100% isn't going to happen, but I think I can still get a 90.
2011--To healing!!!

Run
3 Jan: Run 15 min
--------------------------------------------------
Run--I ran until my knees began to ache. I probably could be stretching a bit more...
Work--My job seems to be going ok. Our first goal as a flight is for everyone in the flight to leave work before 5PM because we work too much. It's harder than it sounds.

JAX Half--I signed up to run the Jacksonville Half a while ago, hoping having a goal would help me focus on healing. Well, my foot felt great when I started running. I ran 4 miles, and then all of a sudden, my kneecaps felt like they completely ripped apart. I couldn't run another step. It was awful! So I decided that instead of suffering through 8 really cold, slow, painful miles, it was just easier to throw in the towel and focus on healing even more.
PT Test--I also came to the realization today that this will be the first time I don't get a 100% on my PT test. I did a practice run today, and my back was so sore that I had to stop. Before I take my test, I'll make sure I'm completely hydrated, my body has time to rest, and I keep running in the meantime. Kind of nervous about it though... Ugh!
I love running--I just gotta remember that I love running. It's fun, I feel good when I run, and I love the sense of accomplishment and the feeling of hard work. Being able to run is a privilege that I haven't had over the past year.
