Monday 07.08.2024
1. Walk & Run Challenge Day 26 (100 march steps). In one go. Rating = 9.5.
2. TEN Day 1: Rating = 9.0.
3. C25K Treadmill W1D1: Walk/Run (22/8). Dist: 2.14, AHR: 156 Rating: 7.5. Good first walk/run in almost a year.
4. YWA: Yoga For Runners: 7 Min Post-Run Yoga: Rating = 9.5.
5. 3 walks = 5 miles outside. 1:29:16. I think it’s time to change my shoes again.

Notes: Back to work…and blood tests. The immediate panel came back good (stable)…still waiting on the other two. The work re-entry was a little rough. I kept doing stupid things but our team made the deadline. In other news, after a 2 week delay, I finally started the treadmill version of Couch 2 5K. The running part went better than I thought. Sometimes, the second day is harder than the first. I guess I’ll find out Wednesday. 😶‍🌫️

1. YWK: 30 min Beginner Yoga - Gentle Stretch & Flow Yoga: Rating = 8.5. This was good, I just had problems with balance.
2. 3 walks = 6 miles outside. 1:48:27.

Notes: The other 2 panels came in…mostly stable to improving. I planned to Pilates but my appointment ran long so we just walked extra instead. My back and feet were hurting so I switched out my shoes.

4 walks = 4 miles outside. 1:10:54

Notes: I got into the eye doctor in the morning. The light sensitivity is improving. Diagnosis: corneal ucler. I got a prescription for drops I have to use every hour and I have to come back for a follow-up the next day. Even though I didn’t get the drops until 3:30, my eye has improved by the time I go to bed. I am depressed about it because I am very careful with my contacts and I still get an infection that caused an ucler.

3 walks = 4 miles outside. 1:11:36.

Notes: My eye continues to improve but I have a crappy headache. The headache has nothing to do with my eye or my glasses. I only have to use the drops 3 times today. At the follow-up he tells me the infection is gone (yesterday it was spreading) and my cornea is healing. I have to continue to use the drops for 8 days and then I can wear my contacts. No follow-up is necessary.

Thank you @JCU & @Syrius ❤️❤️

1. Walk & Run Challenge Day 27 (100 march steps in one go). Rating = 9.5.

5. 3 walks = 5 miles outside. 1:30:08. The air was gross...especially for or evening walk.

The immediate panel was stable to improved. I felt a little DOMsy today but I finished all my planned exercises. I also didn’t have my noon can of pop. 😺
