Ready to Turn the Page

Hello April!

It would be an understatement to say that March was a crazy month for me – it came in like a lion and pretty much stayed that way. So this week I was more than ready to turn the page and say “hello April!” I’m linking up with Deborah and Kim for the Weekly Run Down – here’s a quick look at my week in fitness.

Week 14 – Ready to Turn the Page

Monday — 20 minutes run/walk intervals
Tuesday — Long cummute and day in office = rest day
Wednesday — Lower Body Strength & Core
Thursday — Upper Body Strength & Core
Friday — 20 minutes run/walk intervals & Yoga
Saturday — Full Body Strength
Sunday — 3.2 mile walk & college re-visit day (And too much time in a car!)

If you caught my March Runfessions then you know that I have been feeling pretty down about my cortisone shot – I’ve just not been feeling the relief I had so hoped for. So on Wednesday I had my 3 week follow-up with my sport doc. My hip range of motion (without pain) seems to have improved, but the pain radiating down my leg is still making running extremely difficult. Gluteal tendinopathy could be the cause so my doc has ordered another MRI to get a better look at my hip/pelvis since the last MRI I had done focused more on my right femur (the original pain point).

In the meantime, I’m to focus on a range of PT exercises along with cycling, walking and run/walk intervals. Basically, I’m going to keep moving and doing what I can – movement is medicine!

How was your March? What do you have planned for April?
