I know it’s cliche to say, but I can’t believe it’s March already. I’m having a harder time believing my son turns 30 this week—how did that happen?
Those cheeks!
Moving On To March
Now that we are moving on to March, I am trying my luck with the Breakthrough Crew’s February challenge. I like the variety of classes and encouragement to take yoga and stretching classes.
I will have to screen Callie’s lower body class for my hamstring, but everything else seems fine.
Speaking of my hamstring, I had decided to give it to the end of February to decide if I would undergo any more treatments. While it’s definitely improving, it’s still finicky, so I am going to start another round of shockwave therapy this week. Hopefully it will push the healing process to the finish line. 🤞
Weekly Run Down
I did one run with Scooby this week, but my hamstring wasn’t too happy with it, so I am back to the discipline of the tread—or the bike.
I earned the cute Garmin Leap Day badge, but runfess I wouldn’t have noticed it if I hadn’t seen other people posting about it on Facebook. Even then I had a hard time finding it on my profile. 🐸
On Saturday I crossed the 5K minute mark of Peloton workouts. They add up fast with daily 20 minute walks with Scooby, and about 60 minutes a day of workouts.
I think my favorite class of the week was Camilla’s Miami Bass ride. Kim, if you are looking for fun on the bike, this class should do it.
Sunday: After Saturday’s run with Scooby, I gave my hamstring a full day off—no running or riding or lower body strength. Instead, I stacked two upper body classes and used 25 lbs for the chest presses for the first time. 💪
Monday: Andy’ class is lower body-focused and was a good warm-up for Allie’s ride.
Tuesday: I was tempted out for a (short) run with Scooby by warm temperatures in the 40s. I even wore shorts! 
Wednesday: Core + Upper Body + Peloton Ride
Thursday: I took Rad’s bodyweight class as a warm-up for the tread and it was perfect. It covered all the warm-up moves I usually do—including multi-directional lunges.
Friday: Core + FB Strength + Peloton Ride
Saturday: I was tempted to run, but my hamstring was a bit grumpy on Friday, so I gave it another day off from running. Andy’s strength class was tough, but I made it through that circuit with 60 seconds of push-ups three times! Camilla’s ride was a blast! 💥
A huge thank you to Deborah and Kim for hosting the Weekly Run Down link up.
What are you looking forward to in March?

You sure have more patience than I do. Hope your hamstring rewards you with some pain-free runs.
I’m not being patient by choice!
Yes, I think another round of shockwave treatments should push that hamstring to the finish line. You’re getting there- it always takes longer than we would wish.
Sounds like you had a great week with a nice variety of workouts. Let’s see, what am I looking forward to in March? Oh, a few things, including GETTING BACK TO RUNNING. Sheesh- hurry up, ankle.
I’m sure you’ll beat me to that goal!
That photo of your son is so sweet!
Yes, get as many shockwave sessions as you can – they get the healing blood flow going.
Also, focusing on upper body work only to give the hamstring a break is a good move.
You’re so close now! By the time April comes, you’ll be running!
Thanks for the tip on Camilla’s ride…I will bookmark it! Nice job on all that Peloton time 😉 I honestly don’t pay much attention to my Pelo stats…my bad.
The picture of your son is so cute! 5K minutes!! Oh my goodness that is awesome. Between you and Deborah I have some work to do, lol. How was the 10 Min Focus Flow for the Hips you took on Saturday? I am sorry your hamstring is still giving you trouble, but it does seem like it is slowly getting better!
That hips class was fine — I didn’t mind it but didn’t like it enough to bookmark to take again.
I also can’t believe that my daughter is turning 27 in a few weeks! That was the age I was when I had her. Sounds smart to do another round of therapy nothing to lose. Congrats on 5K
Awww, what a cute picture of your son. It’s amazing how quickly time seems to fly by.
Bummer that your hamstring didn’t like your outdoor run. I bet Scooby misses those regular runs. Keep going strong with your PT exercises, you’re getting there!
Yes, I do think I am getting closer!
I love that leap frog! I have been using my Apple watch way more than Garmin, and they are much more stingy with cute badges.
I hope you start getting more consistent results soon. You have been so patient, and I want to see some marked improvement for you!
I hope that final shockwave treatment does the trick!!!
Happy birthday to your son!
Aww what an adorable pic of your son. Happy 30th to him! I love that leap frog! I tend to use my Garmin but don’t pay attention to badges- I have a hard time finding where they are!
30 years does go by quick. So crazy! Such a cute picture of your son.
Best of luck on the shockwave treatments!
Hoping one final round of shockwave is the key! I know you are missing running…and I’m sure Scooby is too! (though I’m sure he gets plenty of walks 🙂
