Yesterday, I hurt my back due to a combination of carrying my pilates mat, work bag and gym clothes to and from work. I had to stand 30 minutes on a jerky bus and then had to walk 25 minutes due to the trains.
Body Balance - yesterday
I went to Body Balance yesterday with my back covered in 'Deep Freeze' as I thought stretching it out would be good. Tuesday night is Jules's classes and we did the new release. I did well considering putting Toesoxs on hurt before and after the class!
35 minute run - this morning
My back was still hurting when I woke up so I thought 'just give it ago'. I gave myself permission to just stop, shorten the run or walk and run if it hurt. I extended the route by what I thought would be 10 minutes longer and just plodded on. I went the opposite way as well so although it was still windy the road is more built up so less windy.
It felt good, really good. I didn't look at my watch until about 20 minutes. Usually my mind starts getting antsy about this time, however with a different route and giving myself options, it felt okay. Next time I checked, it was 30 minutes gone and although I had the small incline to go up, it still felt good. I can't believe that I have done it. The last run on Couch to 5K is 30 minutes and I have done more!
Before committing to run for HHHO, I would have just stayed in bed but I don't have the option to do that. Just working out the balance between getting an injury or just feeling sore.
Whilst I was running, it was my calves that were hurting. Sitting on a late train (new timetable is not working smoothly yet), my back is aching slightly but my thighs are starting to complain!
I have Body Pump and Body Balance planned for night with a rest day tomorrow. I will see how I feel later today.
Next run is 30 minutes, either Friday or Saturday morning.
