• This check-in is for January 1st – 7th.
• I completed my first 5K!  Sadly, I hurt my knee doing it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

• Even with rest, the pain in my knee spread to my hip, which means this is more than just a minor setback.  The problem with ITBS is that I can’t just jump right back into what I was doing once the pain goes away.  I’m doing my physical therapy exercises and light yoga for now. I’m also restarting my walking program from the beginning (averaging 1K steps per day), and rebuilding the progress I made over the past year.  With any luck, I’ll be back to trying to get 9K steps a day within a couple of months.

• I only had one class to go to last week, so my intention was to go to the gym every day of the week to make up for all the steps I would be missing from not walking to and from campus.  Clearly, that didn’t happen.  I was worn out.  This last semester of college has been more exhausting than any other, and all I wanted to do was curl up with a book.  So, that’s what I did.
• Yesterday, I finally got around to trying out a free fitness game app called “Zombies, Run!”  So far, I love it 🙂  I won’t know for sure if it’s helping me get closer to my goals, but even if it doesn’t, my walks are at least more fun and interesting.

• I did better than last week, but I was sick over most of the weekend.  This week, since I’m only on campus for one day, I’m going to try to make it to the gym every day.  I’m a couple dollars behind on my goal donation, and I’d love to meet my step goal of averaging 9K steps a day before I graduate.

• I had to have my car towed to the mechanics on Monday, and even though I managed to get over 8K steps most days of the week, I never hit my goal of 9K.  I had a couple other bad days as well, and I know it’s because I was exhausted and stressed out from dealing with my car on top of everything else going on right now.

• I know I would have met my step and miles goals if it weren’t for being stuck at the car mechanics most of the day on Friday 🙁  I’m still having car trouble, and it’s been such a frustrating experience, even with the “forced” opportunity to read.
