Monday: The spin class that did me in...I was spinning with a friend of mine...loving the class and loving how I was feeling...loving life...and then with one song left...BOOM not good!
Tuesday-Sunday: It took me 3 days to be able to walk and sit somewhat normally and be able to hold my daughter.
I'm really starting to contemplate not running the half in March because I don't want to push too much and then not be able to run at all. I have a lot on the schedule this year including Ragnar! The only bummer is that I have run this race for the past 4 years and am bummed thinking about missing it! I will see after this week off how I feel and go from there.
Any yoga or core exercises you would suggest??
I'm looking for some things I can do to get my strength up...even if it's online or on-demand
Oh no, Nancy! Have you looked at yogadownload.com for core or back exercises? They have a lot of free or minimal priced workouts. Good luck! Your patience will pay off.
ReplyDeleteI do a lot of pilates for core exercises. there are a lot of free online on youtube. Blogilates.com is good! :)
ReplyDeleteI like Hilaria (Thomas) Baldwin's free 20 minute yogas on YouTube. She has them for all different body parts. Get better!
ReplyDeleteUgh. Back injuries suck. Hopefully you will be on the mend soon and still able to run your half in March. ((hugs))
ReplyDeletehope you get healed up soon, great job taking it easy, back injuries are so humbling!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if you have a smartphone but there is an app called daily Yoga that has many workouts, stretches, etc. And its free which makes it even better! I just started doing yoga and this has helped me to continue stretching in between attending classes.
ReplyDeleteI like the suggestions for pilates... more gentle than planks or other core work. Hope you bounce back quickly!!
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better soon. Back pain in the worst and just effects everything we do. Take Care and hang in there.
