OK, there was some good today & some bad. Ugh, I feel like if it isn't one thing it's another. I set out on this beautiful day to do a 7 mile run. Well, after about 2 miles my left knee started bothering me again. Yep, my IT band!! I thought I could push through it but it was really tightening up & I didn't want to injure it so I slowed down. I ended up doing 5 miles but most of the last 3 miles were walking. :( Every time I tried to run again I could only go a few hundred feet before it hurt again. And what's more upsetting is that even after icing it twice since then it's still feeling painful tonight. Grr...
But, onto some better news, I did do the fit test today & most of my numbers went up except the switch kicks & suicide jumps. I just bonked with the switch kicks & the suicide jumps stayed the same from last time. I'm still a little tentative with my rib area but for the most part I made it through OK. I'm ready for month 2, I just hope that my body is, too!! :)

Another great bit of news today is that I finally decided to become a Beachbody coach!! I'm really excited to see if this works out for me!! I have a few friends who are interested in doing P90X &/or Insanity so I'm trying to get them on board with me!! I'm excited to help others & if this can become supplemental to my future as a wellness coach/trainer then that would be even better!!
All in all today was a good day but I'm a little frustrated with my knee. All I can do is try & pray that I get through my workout tomorrow & the rest of the week!!
DIGGING DEEP Y'ALL...LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
