I hit the gym even though my knee was still a little sore today. Biking actually made my knee feel better, which was a shocker. I did a few weight machines and came home and did some additional stretches and exercises but nothing knee related. I can't tell you the last time I did a lunge was, which is unfortunate because lunges are a good quad workout! I'd rather run though. I'd hate to go into a deep lunge and stay that way permanently.
Day 35: The day after my 6.5 mile run was...interesting. I limped around at work all day but was somewhat proud to tell people it was because I ran 6.5 miles the day before. And it wasn't the limp that was troublesome, it was that all-too-familiar knee pain :( I tried to limit my walking as much as possible. I was secretly hoping my students would push me down the hallways on the lunch cart. I feel like I should stay off my feet until my next long run. Needless to say, it was a rest day.
Surprisingly, I wasn't in pain other than the limp. My back was a little sore, strangely enough. I thought I was going to have trouble getting out of bed in the morning, but since I fell asleep before my head hit the pillow (I was so exhausted), I think my body had time to recover.
By the way, I have been hungry ever since my run! I feel like an eating machine!!

Days 33-34: 13 weeks until race
I am thrilled to report that I ran 6.5 miles today. A small part of me feels like I'm dreaming and will wake up to realize it's not true, but it is! It has to be! I ran half of a half marathon today :)
I broke my 6.5 mile goal into two 3.25 runs with my famous bathroom-break-and-face-splash in between. I was pretty anxious during the first run because I kept thinking my knee pain would sneak up on me, but I went slow enough and it never became an issue. My theory: who cares if it takes me forever. I'd rather finish than burn out pushing too hard.
The best part: I am still functioning and honestly could've kept running, no problem. In fact, that was the best hour and some odd minutes of the day. It flew by! Wish all runs could be that easy!!
Day 33: Yesterday I went to the gym and tried to take it easy, yet still get a good work out. I did this by hitting pretty much every machine for a short amount of time. Did a few assisted pull ups, then hit the stair machine for 20. Worked out my core and upper body on a few weight machines, then biked for half an hour. I ended my work out with a relaxing walk, content that I had not worked my healing knee to the ground. An hour and a half after I got to the gym, and I could still walk, so that was a plus. Each muscle had its moment of use and then recovery. Take that knee--I'm the boss!

Day 32: 91 days until race
I have so much to write about; I don't know where to start! I'll start at the beginning, the morning.
I woke up to some interesting calf soreness, presumably caused by not using them for a while and then doing the circuit steps yesterday. A strange thought occurred to me: if my calves are sore, my knees couldn't possibly hurt at the same time. Otherwise, I would just give up. Only one thing can hurt at a time, so this must mean the pain has moved on. Logical reasoning, right?!?
As the day progressed, I started to get excited about my scheduled run. Would this be the day I could resume my training? I was hoping so, regardless of the calf soreness. Calf pain is nothing compared to knee pain. You simply deal with it.
I had a good feeling when I got home. I took a little rest, got my gear on and got a good-luck goodbye kiss from hubby. I prepared for the run mentally on my drive to the gym. And then, I saw her--my polar plunge pal who ran her first half marathon last summer (see last post), and she was driving right behind me! I was just thinking about her! It was a sign! Then, she turned right behind me onto the little backstreet that leads to my gym. I started imagining that she was trying to catch up to me to wish me good luck, but then she turned in to park at the bread place. Good enough. I think that counts as a sign. (I actually called her and told her how ironic it was that I was thinking about her AND saw her on my way to the gym. I was really excited and she seemed to be too, but I think it might've really been her excitement for bread. Bread is definitely more exciting than a random girl calling to say "I saw you driving!")
So there I was, on the treadmill, the moment of truth. I started with a walking warm up. It took me forever to untangle my headphones--why does that always happen. I laughed and took it as another sign. This was it. I started running, and kept running, and didn't want to stop running. I thought about saying "screw the schedule" and just running 13.1 miles then and there. But then I realized I need to be able to walk tomorrow and the next day and the day after that. I decided to go for 6, and then thought 3 would be a safer bet. I need to let my knee remember what it feels like to run before I plop right back into my training. I will save my long run for another day, I told myself. Today is just me getting back into the running business.
I loved every minute of my run, mostly because I was able to do it. Around my three mile goal, I noticed a knee soreness that happens any time I run but nothing painful. As I wrapped it up, I noted my better mood and increased energy. All of the sudden, I felt like I could run all the errands I had been dreading all week, and I would've--but I have better things to do: blog about my run so I can remember the feeling when I want to quit. So here it is.

Days 28-31: 13.5 weeks until race
Today was Day 31, and hopefully, it was also the last day of my recovery. I've had to take almost an entire week off to let my knee heal. I found that 3-4 days was not enough.
To celebrate my last recovery day, you would think I would give myself a rest day--too bad I did too much of that earlier in the week. Instead, I went to the gym and did the thirty minute circuit. It had been a while. Thankfully my body knew what to do (my mind pretty much wandered).
A fellow runner of mine who ran her first half marathon last summer told me she wished she would've done more strength training to carry her through to the end. She said your muscles get to the point where they are not running anymore, they are just surviving, so they need to be strong. Now if only I could talk her into training with me...
Day 30: Finally made it back into gym-routine. I went for the two most mindless activities: elliptical and bike. While I was on both machines (not at the same time of course), I spent most of the time trying to distract myself by messing with my phone. I learned that my phone internet sucks at the gym. Texting my friend about spa treatments helped it go by faster :)
Day 29: We went for a walk outside to watch the sunset and get some fresh air. I figured it would beat the gym, and it did!
Day 28: I did nothing on this day, except sulk about how I couldn't run :(

While this quote is directly about food, it can indirectly be interpreted to be about running (plus, I love food, and running can be like food). Moderately exercise in small helpings, which is what I have been doing, and do a little bit of every type of exercise so you don't get bored. Don't forget to have fun being healthy!

How I Lost It (those extra ten pounds, that is)
Today is Day 27 (96 days until race), but that is not the point. At this time, I have nothing to say about running, except that I can't do it right now. I took two, three, four days off and my knee could barely handle five minutes of a light jog today. My current plan is to give it a whopping FIVE DAYS to heal, which puts me running again on Friday. I went from running 15 miles a week to a measly three. My hope is that once my knee is completely healed, I'll be able to pick right back up, slowly but surely to ensure it doesn't happen again. Until then, I will share with you my latest revelation: how I lost those extra winter pounds!!!
Without Further Ado:
Tips on How to Lose Those Extra Winter Pounds (and what I learned)
1. Run
2. Run
3. Walk
4. Run
5. Write down what you eat or use a calorie tracker like LoseIt or MyFitnessPal--that is the only way you will realize what mistake you are making and how to fix it. Studies show that this process alone helps people eat more healthy because they know they will have to write it down and see it later!
6. Let yourself indulge once a week, but leave it at that.
7. Find a healthy treat you can eat every day or so that you will enjoy but that will not make you feel guilty. I like the Healthy Choice Fudge Bars (100 calories) or Sugar-Free Dark Chocolate Jello Puddings (only 60!). Speaking of which--I'm taking a jello break.
.
..
...
..
.
8. Start logging exercise so you learn how few calories you really burning running a mile (100 if you are lucky, depending on your weight and speed).
9. Stop consuming calories in your beverages--water is your new best friend! (I've learned that it's just not worth it to drink 100+ calories of OJ in the morning if that means I'm going to have to run AN EXTRA MILE! I've cut back to strictly water and homemade coffee with a little creamer.) This was a hard one--I love me some mochas, but even the "skinny" version is more like a dessert than a cup of joe :(
10. Find an exercise you like to do that you can do almost daily without getting bored (or find a few you like so you can rotate to prevent boredom). Even a simple daily walk can start to make a difference in more than one way! You will feel the difference physically, mentally...
11. Don't obsess and weigh yourself everyday, and if you must, yes, weigh yourself naked first thing in the morning before you consume any liquids. Trying to track your weight can be very messy because your daily water weight can differ from hour to hour (up to a few pounds!). From my experience, I was thrilled to work, work, work, and then shock myself when I had lost the first five pounds. I didn't weight myself until I was a month into my plan.
12. Avoid going out to eat (sorry, but you just don't know what is in the food!). If you do, try to look ahead at the menu/calorie count to pick something that you will enjoy but will not make you depressed when you put your fork down on an empty plate. OR, pick something you will really enjoy, but only eat half. Take the rest to go. I even know some people who request the waiter to bring out half the meal on a plate and the other half already wrapped up--it's not that weird; it's smart!
13. Start with a reasonable goal. If you have to lose 50+ pounds, it's not going to happen overnight, so don't expect it to. But yes, you can lose 4-6 pounds per month THE HEALTHY WAY, but it is also known as THE HARD WAY. It's not about a magic pill that will change your life. It's about having the attitude that YOU can change your life.
14. This is a bogus tip because I felt like having only 13 would be bad luck! But, if you must have one last tip, I dunno, maybe blog about it or something! :)

Days 23-26: 14.something weeks until race
Apologies for getting behind on the blogging. I thought Spring Break would be the perfect time to catch up and get ahead. Instead, I got behind. There was just too much going on! Here is what I can remember from the last four days (thanks to my LoseIt work out log):
Did the stair master today (day 26) to get some cardio but am avoiding the treadmill (saving the run for tomorrow). I thought I would enjoy the gym after skipping two days, but I was excited when my husband decided it was time to go home after just 45 minutes. Maybe tomorrow I'll be the one to cut our gym trip short!
Day 25: Cleaned again and even did some calisthenics. Restrained myself from the urge to go to the gym and run.
Day 24: The most exercise I did on this day was clean our little apartment for fifteen minutes. The couch was my friend on this day!
Day 23: I went water jogging at H2Oasis, the children's water park in Anchorage. It wasn't as crazy as I thought it might be (I envision hundreds of screaming children urinating in a pool and drowning each other.). The river walk was pretty cool, except for the fact that I couldn't swim/walk backwards to get a better work out. My legs were pretty sore just from trying to race through the river in the same direction of the current. And I didn't even get any sort of foot fungus, which I kind of expected after I saw that lots of people wear water shoes at the water park. What a great idea!
Later that day, I went to the gym. The water jogging must have helped cushion my knee. I was able to run 2.61 miles on that day (compared to only one mile two days prior). Still not where I want to be (should be at 6-7 miles), but that's what happens when you screw up your knee. You can't run.
After my measly two mile run, I finished up a few more miles on the elliptical to keep a cardio pace, but it's just not the same any more. I even cut my elliptical work out short, so I could get home and veg. Now that I enjoyed!
My plan from there was to take off a few days to let my knee heal completely. Obviously, it would need more than a day off to get better. I gave up on the idea of getting ahead on my running over Spring Break. My new goal was to just heal and stay right on schedule, hopefully not getting behind because of the knee pain.

Days 21-22: 14.8 weeks until race
Day 22: The stationary bike doesn't seem so bad when you are not able to run. I am now thankful that I can at least bike. Seeing a friend at the gym helped. It went by fast.
After biking, I did a little bit of arm weights and pull ups. Part of my running-a-marathon goal is to get my entire body in better shape (not just my legs). It has taken a long time to develop muscles in my arms, and now that they are there, I'm not sure how much I like them. Honestly, my shoulders are looking a little manly when I flex. I stopped working my arms for a while and was hoping the manly-ness would go away, but it hasn't; it's still there. My ultimate arm goal is for my arms to look tone when I'm NOT flexing. Not sure how that's going to look if I'm already feeling manly when I flex. Speaking/typing of manly, I actually did the SAME AMOUNT OF WEIGHTS on the weight machines as the guy in front of me. Either he was a sissy or I'm turning into a man. Something tells me it's the latter of the two.
Sometimes I wish we lived in a climate where I could show off all my muscles. Instead, I layer on my winter clothes and just feel like the female-ish version of Clark Kent!
Day 21: After not running for two days because of knee pain, I was anxious to get back to it to see how my knee would react. Left knee was not happy, which made the rest of me not happy! It seems as if the treadmill and I will have to part temporarily. This is obviously not good for training, but it is not worth hurting and being miserable.
When I started my attempt to run, I was surprised that it even hurt my knee to walk at first (not a good sign). However, I stuck with it and found that my knee actually felt better when I ran...who'da thought?! I was able to do a slow jog for one mile before I realized it was just too much. Plus, it was really boring to go so slow. I ultimately gave up and just went for the elliptical, my long lost friend.
I finished the rest of my short three mile "run" on the elliptical (if you can call it that--the elliptical is hardly running) and went home feeling defeated again :( Watching the Bachelor helped cheer me up. At least I don't have to throw myself at men to feel better. I also did some calisthenic exercises while I watched women throw themselves at a man (if you can call him that). I came across this site: http://www.calisthenicexercise.com/ Calisthenic exercises are a form of simple movement exercises using only your body weight for resistance. The website proved to be very well organized and user friendly. (If you want to work your abs, click on abs!) So, while I wondered how model Courtney never fainted on the show from lack of eating, I worked my butt off (which in my opinion is better than not eating).
