If it's not one thing, it's another...

My arm started hurting last week. ugh. really?? like my life can take me falling apart..
The toughest part about recovering and starting over is knowing what you used to be able to do and not pushing to that place when you shouldn't.
I think I hurt my elbow screwing around attempting some stunt I should not have tried. It's a pattern in my life. I can't accept that I am not 15 anymore.
SO, now I get to let my arm heal.

My knees? They feel great!
I have been taking it easy and letting them heal and retraining my stride.
I love running in my vibram 5 finger shoes!
Today I only did 2.16 miles and ran with Trisha and Wendy and others that showed up for Couch to 5K running.
I took about 30 minutes to do that run so it was a slow 15 min/mile pace. I need Thursdays as a recovery day from my intense fitness day on wednesday.
yesterday I taught FOUR Zumba classes. OUCH! I hurt so bad last night and am pretty sore from all that dancing. So just doing a slow pace with lots of walking was ok by me. I focused on my footfall and kept pretty good form.

So now... I heal my arm.

My knees... They are fine! YAY - and after a full day of high impact Zumba? yes, I am happy right now.
