Kettle bells rock!

Today rather than running I did a bit of kettle bell training with a few friends, and then road 5.2 miles on a bike. I hadn't used my kettle bell in a while, but it felt great to get back to it. I'm incredibly exhausted from the workout, but it felt great at the same time! The bike ride went pretty well, and I actually felt like I could have gone longer/further but I didn't want to push it too hard because I knew that the kettle bell workout was already going to make me sore enough! Hopefully this will be a weekly workout with the kettle bell and my friends, and hopefully more people will join us as well! Time to get in some much needed rest!

OUCH!!!

Eh...so today I had an adjustment (which was great!), however I found out the pain that I have been feeling in my right heel, might be a bone spur! UGH! Although, because this is a very recent "injury", it should be taken care of with some ultra-sound therapy and then we can call it good! I did go ahead and run today as well, and felt really good while I was running. I ran a 5k, so a little bit more than "scheduled", in just over 34 minutes, so not amazing time, but not terrible either. The plan for now is to run according to how my heel/ankle feels, so if it's not bothering me, to run the scheduled mileage, otherwise to ease off it some, maybe do some bike riding if it's really bothering me, but hopefully that won't happen! Well, until next time...

New kicks!

Woo-hoo new shoes! YAY! So I thought I'd just check out what prices were on my running shoes (Adidas adiSTAR control 5), and potentially buy a new pair because it was getting about that time anyway. Well, low and behold, there was an awesome deal on amazon.com, so I went for it! Normally these shoes are around $130, so when I found them for only $50, I was thrilled! So for the next couple days I'll be walking around in them to break them in maybe even run in them a little.

Training is moving along okay, but slowly, although that's how I intend for it to be. I'll be running 3 miles for the rest of the week, and into the first day or two of next week before changing any mileage.

Indy Mini training!

So I started training for my next half marathon...the Indy Mini! Right now my schedule is crazy with classes in the evening, so I'm running after class at the gym. I've run a little over 2.5 miles the past two days, and wow I can feel it already! I'm hoping to continue running the 2.5 miles the rest of the week, and up it to 3 miles next week. I don't want to increase my pace/mileage too quickly because of my past Achilles injury. Thankfully I have regular chiropractic treatments to help combat any injuries that are on the brink of bringing me down. The good thing with already training is that I have a few months to get to where I want to be so I don't have to push myself too much and have the opportunity to even run a few small races (5k's) while I'm training. Hopefully I'll be able to add in some weight training as well...that mainly depends on how much time I get in the gym though. I might have to make that something that I do at home with my kettlebell though because I don't want to rush my weights because the gym is closing. Okay, well I'll try and post on here every week or so with different updates, and such.
