Here we are…it is Thursday again. That means it is time to link up with Amanda from Running With Spoons for Thinking Out Loud for some random thoughts!
On Monday at physio I got permission to drop down to visits every other week! It is nice to see progress after going to twice per week sessions back in February. I just have to remind myself that I still need to keep up with rolling and my hip/glute/VMO strengthening exercises even if I’m not seeing my physio all the time.
Yesterday was a beautiful day for a run in Calgary! Last week I complained that running felt really hard. Yesterday felt great and my pace had dropped!
I’ve been incorporating a couple of strength sessions a week into my schedule. I’ve really been enjoying TRX classes lately and I’m even starting to see some itty bitty muscles starting to pop out. When I was a kid I hated/could never do pull ups in gym class. I still can’t do a pull up on my own, but I did several pull ups with the TRX on Tuesday! Progress!
This morning was a serious sweat fest on the bike. That was fun! I’m kinda digging these 5 am trainer sessions.
Since I moved from Blogger to self hosted WordPress I am amazed at the number of spam comments that I get on my blog. I seem to get several hundred per day! Unfortunately there are some valid comments that seem to get caught in spam so I try to go through and approve them.
And because this is Thursday and things are supposed to be random… I leave you with a picture of the alpacas I spotted when I was at the Calgary Zoo earlier this week.
Tell me something random about your week! What is your favourite animal at the zoo?
I LOOOOOVE TRX! I haven’t done any trx training in ages and I kinda miss it. Although, I miss any type of group-ex activity in a gym. In Canmore, we only have spin + bootcamp style classes. And a crossfit gym. I like Bodypump!
Okay, I’m rambling and going to stop now…

I need to get in the habit of 5am sessions! It’s so hard getting up and going to bed early. Maybe I will have better luck next week! I love all the animals at the zoo minus the petting zoo area (too stinky)! Happy Thursday!

I hate when legit comments go to spam but thank goodness for those filters because otherwise it would be crazy!

SPAM – in addition to Akismet, I also just intalled Growmap Anti Spambot Plugin and it’s cut down significantly on the amount of comments that make it through!
Hooray for being on the mend 🙂 And having a great run!

If you’re not using askismet, you should give it a try. It’s awesome! I haven’t been to the zoo in years.

Congrats on the great rehab news. 5am workouts – I truly am humbled by your dedication to your goals. I’m named after the sunrise and think the last time I was up at 5am was in Vegas (hadn’t gone to sleep yet). Just haven’t crossed the early morning bridge yet.
Red Pandas! Sooo cute:)
