Toni Bourlon's Journal, 20 February 2020

I got in a pretty good run Tuesday night, 2 miles on the treadmill. That's the first time since my back injury, but I feel fine. Wednesday I put in about 30 minutes on the treadclimber, then did about 15 minutes of toning, combining the stretches the PT gave me with some squats, reverse lunges & ab work. Again, today I feel pretty good, only slightly sore in the thighs. But for some weird reason I didn't track calories yesterday, hmmm - still working on consistency in that dept. Anyway, today I once again offered to run the 12K portion of the Memorial relay team. As I said, my goal is to lose a bit more between now & April 26th, and take about 20 minutes off my time. So today at least, I'm thinking about diet. Both quality of food and restraint on portions. I remember when I first attempted a 1/2 marathon back in (I think) 2014, I actually GAINED weight because I kept thinking, "I'm running more, so I can eat more." LOLZ, not true! Today in my Biomechanics class we went over the joint rotation that occurs when you run, particularly in the hips. Yeah, my Professor (Dr. Miller, Ph.D) thinks weight lifting is the greatest and running is stupid; BUT he also encourages runners to lift weights. Yeah, I'll get back to the gym SOMETIME soon (I hope).
