Day 31

When it’s -15 degrees out and -35 with windchill, it’s ok to stay under the down covers where it’s warm for a little bit longer in the morning to make sure the heater in the garage has time to work. Hot coffee in a Yeti is necessary to get the day started, and with tight legs yoga is the only way I can start moving. My left shoulder still aches (it’s been months now), but it paradoxically feels like it’s getting stronger after PT. I don’t think I have it in me to run much this morning, but will plan to take a shake and jog during my lunch break.

As it warms in the coming weeks, I’d love to still keep an eye out for a fat tire bike and convert my burley to add skis to pull the kids over the snow… Likely something for next year…

Day 30

It’s negative 5 degrees feirenheight outside this morning while my garage heater is working to try to keep it at 65…

Bloated and a little sore on my left hip/glute and knees, I step into week 2 of daily rising at 4:30am. Don’t get me wrong, I’m still not popping up, but I was working out before 5am, and it wasn’t a chore today. Still working on finding the grove to fall asleep earlier, but it will come. With a little one sick at home, it makes it difficult, but we are pumping vitamin c and being safe as best we can. It’s nice to be done before 7am having completed a solid 2 workouts: yoga for 45 min and 30 minutes of strengthening (leg (20 min) and core (10 min)).

As I’ve begun to feel myself dry out, I’m going to try a new moisturizer to add to the routine. I haven’t started swimming again, but the shoulder is starting to feel a little stronger. I’m feeling more refreshed, but my body is holding onto food. Time to push some fluids.

This week I think I’ll try to focus on completing the TrainerRoad prescribed workouts as I gear up for a big week.
