I can’t wait to go to Total Conditioning class later tonight.
I’m hoping to stay 80% raw today. Just experimenting with my body:)
How are you all doing?

Monday I did a Total Conditioning class,

Tuesday I did Cardio Kickboxing.

What should I do today? 

Barbell Strength class OR Spin?

Vacation is great, but honestly I just want to go home and go back to a normal schedule. I haven’t worked out in 2 weeks and I already feel so weak.

I’ve been eating out a lot too.

Whatever, at least I’m enjoying the break.

STRETCH/ICE

Two months ago I had a stress fracture in my ankle.

It’s now healed and while I was healing from the fracture I did stationary bike and stair master. Is my endurance complete crap right now?

I have a half marathon June 3rd and I planned this a long time ago before my injury. I really want to run in it still. I don’t care what my time is at all but I have to finish under 4 hours.

My first half marathon I finished in 2 hrs and 15min and I trained 12 weeks for that.

But now I’m scared I won’t even be able to finish this half marathon =/ and I know all of you are thinking, “You’re just going to injure yourself again don’t do it” but PLEASE I really want to do this half marathon.

What are your tips/thoughts?

I am going to be so sweaty, hell yes!

I most likely have a stress fracture in my leg.

My doctor told me to take a week off of running AND anything that involves pounding…aka kickboxing.

I am going insane with not running. 

Looks like the weights, stair master, elliptical and bicycle are going to be my new best friends for a while.

Possible stress fracture around my ankle =/

I don’t know for sures though.

Half marathon in 3 months…can it heal by then?

I don’t want to give up exercising either!
