I worked out with my Taekwondo/Hapkido dojang the first time since my AVR approximately 5 months ago Tuesday. I was kicked, punched and thrown to the mat (my defense is rusty) and suffered no ill effects except protruding sternum wires and bleeding from both ears...kidding, it was great fun and the only true problem is that I am VERY sore. Rehab stretching just doesn't do the job.
I couldn't help but noticing that I was the only one there with a heart rate monitor, Medic Alert bracelet, and clicking like a wind-up clock.
Now if I just had good news to report on the running. My running is still sucking bottom but it is not due to lack of effort. I am still running at least 5 days per week and doing alternate workouts on the other days. The best "run" to date has been 6.7 miles at a 9:40 pace, ugh... I had hoped to have joined the middle of the pack runners by now but it has not happened. As soon as we get a breath of cool air this far south I am going to run a 5K, perhaps it will shock me out of my slump and motivate me to push a little harder?
