A Little Leg Action

Saturday, March 15 (also known as.. my niece's birthday!)

Warmup:
2 rounds
side shuffle left & right
high skip

Workout:
3 mile run

Short run today.. my legs were still sore from Friday's workout. I just wanted to get some running in, because I knew I'd be having birthday cake and brownies.

I also wanted to talk a little bit about my shoulder. It's still pretty painful despite a week or so of rehab and physical therapy. I've really been working on my posture. Keeping my shoulders back and trying to use my lower trapezious to move my arms. I'm also trying to improve the strength in between my upper shoulder blades. My physical therapists says I need to pay more attention to these smaller muscles to strengthen them. It's the strangest feeling to be Crossfit sore in my back and along my shoulder blades eventhough I haven't done any lifting with my arms or back in weeks. I'll probably try to make an appointment with a massage therapist this week to work out some of my tight muscles.

I do wish I was seeing more improvement with my amount of pain. I have been faithfully icing and doing my little shoulder exercises. I may look into some accupuncture or maybe even ... gasp ... some yoga! Oh god, I never thought I'd be one of those barefoot mat ladies. I wonder if all that focus and breathing will help me reduce some of the tension in the shoulder.

On a positive note... I have been Diet Coke free for 3 weeks and 6 days!!!
