I want to wish you a Merry Christmas and everyone *****ads this

This week is way up in the air. Work is crazy for me and long hours and the sidewalks are so icy that I can not run outside right now.

My goal this week is to do a swim, strength training and a run. I have to find time to fit it in

I use Under Armour for everything.  

But it sounds like the issue might be your clothing is a bit too compressive?  Try a larger size perhaps?

Old Navy has a decent line of compression clothes at good costs a while back.  I haven't checked in a while, but I'd recommend them if they still have them

Topic: RE: Working hard or hardly working?

honestly it is all good.  cardio, strength, yoga, sport -- anything. 

 

Over the past few years I have morphed with my exercise a few times.  For a while I was all about running.  For a while I was all about yoga.  For a while I was all about crossfit.  I tend to overlap, but as something new catches my interest I do it.  If something starts to get boring, I look for something else interesting.  

The key is do something you like because then you will do it! 

 

In terms of what you can do post surgery, I was cleared for cardio well before I was cleared for weights.  So if you are cleared to lift, I'd say cardio is probably fine, but it doesn't hurt to check with your doctor.

I honestly don't know.  I've had lower back pain for the last few days and when I went to run on Saturday it became painfully (lolz) clear that I've got a kidney stone.  Every foot strike sent agonizing pain through the right side of my back.  

Here's the plan for the week, but it's a matter of playing things by ear and seeing what my body will tolerate and when I pass this stone.  

Monday - rest
Tuesday - running, yoga stretching (I had a long run planned for Saturday, so my running plans for this week are "as far as I can go" to make up for missing my long run.)  
Wednesday - pilates class, yoga class
Thursday - same as Tuesday
Friday - walking w/ family
Saturday - walking w/ family
Sunday - walking w/ family

I'm going to an AirBNB in the poconos with family for the holidays.  I have no idea if I'll be able to run while there or what.  I'm taking my gear, though!
