After my awesome 10K PR last month (which I still need to blog about... which brings my total races UNblogged to XX...I have no idea...), I got injured. I guess I ran so hard that I messed up my knee. It's runner's knee on my right knee. I also got the hip soreness again. :( Ugh. I took 2 weeks off from running. I have not run over 6 miles since July 4. I'm still dealing with it but, am definitely keeping my runs short (3-4 miles during the week, MAYBE a 5 or 6 miler on the weekends) as I recover and build strength on my right side. I hope I can get back to the 13.1 distance by the Diva in September!! I really don't want to push it then if I am not ready, because I am still determined to make a sub 2 hour half at the RnR this year!
In the meantime, I have continued to strength train. I joined a crossfit gym/box whatever you want to call it. I went for the first time a couple weeks ago and got my a$$ kicked. I could not raise my arms for about a week after that first class! Another goal of mine is to be able to do at least ONE unassisted pull up or chin up by the end of the year!
I'm maintaining my weight loss for the most part. I try to keep the scale under 130, but would like to be more in the mid 120s. I hope to build a lot more muscle and trim the fat! I am currently doing a 10-day Advocare cleanse, so we'll see if I have trimmed don a bit in a couple days when it's over. I had a few cheat meals here and there... I hope I lose something!
