April 7th - Last Day of Spring Break

Today is the last day of spring break...boo.  I was really able to focus on my rehab exercises and make sure that I got all of my workouts done.  The next challenge will be to figure out how do keep that momentum up when I head back to work and try to add swimming into the mix.  I won't actually start swimming until Tuesday of this coming week because I want to talk with Dr. Karyn about it one more time to see exactly what she wants me to do. 

I was able to get another good ride in this morning.  It started off kind of rough but got better as time went on.  I am going to increase to a full hour starting tomorrow morning which means I will have to start getting up around 4:15am so I can start riding by 4:30.  I'll have to do the same thing on days that I swim so I can get to the pool by 5 and still have time to do my PT exercises.  I am hoping that I will also still be able to walk at school during my planning period. 

Today's walk was a full hour.  I started using the Map My Run app on my phone to track my time, distance and pace.  I covered just over 4 miles today which surprised me a bit.  If I was able to hold that pace I could actually walk the full marathon in about 6 and half hours.  I know that I will be walking a large portion of the marathon, but I hope its not that much. 

Today's workout was core work:
Core 12x25
Planks 4x1min

Back to work tomorrow...whoopee.  At least it will be a rest day (except for walking and riding).
