After about a 5 week hiatus from running, 8 doctors, 2 clinics, 3 chiropractors, MRI’s, leg scans, countless x-rays and a steroid shot, I’m back to working out. Not back to running just yet but getting in the gym and sweating feels awesome. Hopefully, the combination of the shot, strength training and cross training (biking, aqua jogging, swimming, spinning, erging, jump roping, etc), will allow me back to running in about a month and stronger than before…leaving me with 4 solid months of training for the trials. Can’t make any promises to how my groin will respond to the new workload but so far its been pretty good and I’m feeling stronger with only 4 days back into my new routine. With that said, I worked out today on behalf of the 365 Day Challenge.

45 minutes aqua jogging

25 minute swimming

5 sets of 2 min jump rope with 1 min ab in between

Leg lifting circuit (single leg quad and ham, abductors, leg press, calf press, lower back press, crunches, lower ab lifts, stability ball drills)

3 sets of jump rope

Mile on the eliptical

AR. NF. NR. I’m back in action…sort of.

Lots of exciting changes coming to the blog. Stay tuned…
