Good week of training again, felt good to be away from Pullman in Colorado though, nice little break.
Sunday - OFF
Monday - 4 mile tempo run
Tuesday - 6.2 mile Speed Ladder, felt awesome
Wednesday - 40 minute easy elliptical
Thursday - 74 minute Cardio Circuit, yahoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! So much fun, so brutally hard but I love EVERY minute of it! I encourage you all to have those workouts where your Arse is just kicked and you feel close to verge of puking or quitting, push through it and you will be so proud of yourself that you did. It was fantastic.
Friday - 4 mile tempo run before heading to Seattle
Saturday - OFF
Fun week, just wish this snow would stop! I've been cooking a lot, a great site is EatingWell.com and I've made quite a few soups (this snow has really put me in the mood for healthy soups!)
But I'm really ready for spring and to get outside and run and sweat!
Happy Training All!

I'm back.
So it's been an interesting winter so far, got some answers on my back, finally, that I think are really going to help this time. Saw the Spine Team in Spokane and finally a doctor did not tell me "well just stop running" because obviously that isn't going to happen.
I've had 2 sets of cortisone injections into L3/L4/L5/S1 and in 2 weeks I'll have what's called a neuralablasion done, which is basically where they go in and cauterize the nerves in between those vertebraes where they think a lot of the pain is being caused by arthritis. I'll hopefully have my SI Joint done after this procedure as well. So even though it's not a "fix" it should help for a year or more and that would be fabulous. I haven't been pain free in 15+ years and to be pain free after those cortisone injections, even for 2-4 hours, brought me to tears, it was amazing and gave me so much more hope then I've had in a long time.
My workouts are going okay, I've been working a lot so have been tired and sometimes the last thing I want to do is workout, but once I get my butt started, I always feel so much better.
So here is last week's workouts, I feel good about them!
