It has been an up/down week for me, my runs have gone well but the last couple days it has been POURING rain. I don't mean like normal Vancouver pouring rain, I mean stand outside for two seconds and you are completely drenched. It's not the most exciting weather to go for a run in or to take a 15-month old to the park. I managed to go spinning tonight and do a workout including my new exercises from the chiropractor:
These exercises are surprisingly difficult for me, I wasn't expecting that. But I suppose they should be hard since they are meant to make my right hip stronger so that I can support my lower back better and reduce soreness/pain. I'm hoping that this among many of the things I've been doing will help me improve my speed and prevent injuries while running.
Something else happened this week (a definite UP!), someone told me I inspire them. What? Me? I sort of looked around to see if they were talking to someone else. How could little old me inspire anyone? This amazed me, total motivation to keep going and keep getting stronger, it reminded me of this which I saw on Pinterest:
