This week was not a success. I hurt my shoulder last weekend when camping, and by Sunday night it was throbbing. I decided to try Power Yoga on Monday and I think that may have been a mistake because it still isn't feeling that great. :( I did not run at all with the fear that the jarring of my shoulder would be impossible to stand. :( I was however able to bowl - weird, huh? We went bowling Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday this past week. At least I did some thing.
Here is what my training should've looked like -
Monday - XT
Tuesday - 3-4 miles speedwork
Wednesday - XT
Thursday - 3-5 miles easy run
Friday - XT
Sat - Rest
Sun - 17 mile long run
Here's what it did look like -
Monday - Power Yoga and bowling
Tuesday - nothing
Wednesday - bowling
Thursday - nothing
Friday - bowling
Saturday - nothing
Sunday - bowling
Kind of depressing, but I'll get there. I think I will redo this week on my schedule since I still have quite a while until my marathon and I can tweak my training plan. I've learned that I need to stay flexible when it comes to training, because you never know when a curve ball is going to be thrown your way.
How do you respond to curves that are thrown at you?

Awww sorry to hear about your shoulder! My knee was feeling funky last week but now it's finally better (yey) When curves are thrown at me I try to ride them out and then hop right back in!! Thanks for the encouragement for the 2 week challenge!
ReplyDeletethanks - glad your knee is feeling better! :)
DeleteYou will get there. Listen to your body and respect it's need to heal. Best of luck this week. :)
ReplyDeletethanks. It's slowly on the mend :)
DeleteI get back up, and you will too. And it's not like you did absolutely nothing. You had an injury, and you took care of yourself. You can do this!
ReplyDeletevery true - thanks for the encouragement :)
DeleteI have to be flexible. I had a car accident years ago but have had injury flare-ups from that when I get too far out of my comfort zone when training (e.g. when I am not rested enough). You deal. I am pragmatic and just grateful that I can train. Feel better soon!
ReplyDeletegreat attitude, Kia! Thanks!!
DeleteI'm so wow'd by your schedule and commitment! Great job!
ReplyDeletethanks!!! I am running my first marathon in December and I want to make sure I'm strong and ready!!
DeleteThat's great that you have the extra time up your sleeves. Better to have a redo week than to push yourself too hard and have to pull out from training all together. Hope you feel better soon
ReplyDeleteThanks - that's what I was thinking!!!
Deletewell you can always focus on other body parts or on your diet. just don't let the set back get you down good luck next week
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lorrie - I'm trying to catch up this week :)
DeleteWow you are amazing. You have a lot on your agenda. You'll get back in the swing soon!
ReplyDeleteI am learning with these kind of "curves" is to stay positive, find a positive... thank you for visiting.
thanks!!! I appreciate the vote of confidence and yes, while discouraged I'm trying to stay positive :)
