Well, I am in the runner's thread, but my running has taken a back seat due to hip pain. At the same time, my favorite kettle bell gym closed down. So I'm sort of re-grouping.
Goals: keep regrouping. Come up with a new plan.
1. I've been swimming instead of running. Back in the pool! My goal is to swim at least 2x a week.
2. Use the YMCA! Before the KB gym shut down, I had 3 gym memberships. We didn't go to the Y often (family membership) so the cost per use was $$. I'd like to get the total # of individual visits to 21 each month ($5 each). (If we go for a family swim, that's 2,3, or 4 "visits" depending on how many of us go).
3. Keep lifting.
4. Get back to running, but cut back to 2x a week.
5. Weight. Sigh. I've gained about 8 lbs in the last year. I'm fairly certain some of it is muscle because of the lifting. So, I don't really want to worry too much about it. I wouldn't mind losing about 5 lbs. It's hard tho, when it's "easy" to maintain, like now, my BMI is 25-26. Eh well.
So, I've been doing well the last few weeks. Sept had 19 individual visits to the YMCA.
1. Two weeks ago: swim, swim, yoga at home, BodyPump at the Y, walk, walk
2. Last week: walk, swim, BodyPump, swim, walk, BodyPump, swim, walk
3. This week: walk, BodyPump, swim, walk (and the rest of the week: swim, BodyPump, walk)
When the hip is better, I'll do 2x a week running (basically, dropping Tues swim).
