13 December 2014 - Start Fast

12/8/2014

The week went well overall. I trained three times with my trainer and attended two sessions of physical therapy. I'm getting stronger and more fit, but the Achilles is still tight for awhile after I awaken, and after long periods of sitting. It loosens up quickly, but it's still a pain. Therapists are targeting the end of January before I run consistently pain free, which will make five months of physical therapy. That's a long time. In the meantime, I need to do a better job of continuing my strength effort between sessions with my trainer. I need to improve core strength while also increasing endurance.

This week will include WALKING and BIKE between stints with my trainer. I'll also do some compliimentary core work with abs and flexibility.

The menu will be interesting. I followed the rules pretty closely this week, and I can see a difference in my body and my energy level. This next week requires a "soup detox" for the first few days of the week where I'll be eating nothing but soup. Exciting.

I'll measure my Achilles flexibility / pain, training effort and nutrition / water.

Stay tuned . . .
