Run, Jump, Bike, Swim???

Okay, so the physical rehab was driving me nuts at first, but I'm happy to say that I'm doing much better now.

This weekend I started jumping rope and using the elliptical machine. I'm jumping for 15 minutes and going 2 - 2.5 miles on the elliptical. Not bad for only being back at it for two weeks. :) Plus, I'm back to my regular lift routine with some minor modifications. And if I feel any pain, which I haven't in days, I stop immediately.

I'm so glad that I'm not walking anymore...it was driving me insane. I like to go, go, go! Jumping rope is the best - such a great workout!

I'm very happy and thankful that I'm back on the road to recovery! :)

Should I mention that Drew keeps dropping hints that I should consider training for triathlon events? And that I am actually considering it??? I am not a swimmer, but given there are triathlon sprint events, I could probably swing it... Maybe once I'm running again I'll think about it more. I would have to learn how to swim from scratch...buy a suit, goggles, learn to breath in the water... Plus, I'd need a bike...my bike is trash...

Guess that's one of the reasons I've switched up my weight training...to build up my upper body a bit more.

Who knows, I could run a marathon and do some type of triathlon in the upcoming year.

A girl has to have goals, right?
