Week 1 of marathon training and BBG has officially come and gone! *See below for the week's schedue* I was supposed to do 4 runs and 2 BBG. I completed both BBG workouts and 3/4 runs. I did not do the 8 miler that was scheduled for Saturday because my IT band is still hurting. I had to force myself through a 4 mile run on Friday. Pretty much limped after. Figured, if it was that painful to get through 4 'easy' miles, doing 8 at a much faster pace would be painful or cause injury.
I've been incorporating glut bridges and "clammies" to strengthen the area and prevent more IT pain but I haven't seen the fruits from that labor yet. After some research, I found out that my foam roller isn't the best kind to help with IT pain. So, I ordered a new, tougher roller and rolled quite a bit last night. In some pain today, hoping it's just because the foam roller is doing its job. If I can't get this pain under control, I'm going to have to put a pause on my running. I don't want to chance hurting myself like I did earlier this year with the stress fracture. Anyway, I forgot how much I LOVE BBG. I was SO, SO sore after legs. But it was totally worth it. I love the program and can't wait to see the results I get this round. That's all for now! Stay fit my friends... XOXO, Wilk

I'm so happy to announce that I'm a brand ambassador for Altar Ego Apparel. They are woman run company established in 2014 and based just north of Boston. The best part? They make all of our leggings right here in our local area. Now, I must tell you... I was skeptical at first. The leggings are GORGEOUS but, I wasn't sure how they'd feel. Honestly, I cannot tell you how impressed I am. The fit, the colors... everything!! I highly, highly recommend. I wish I could wear their pants all day every day (actually working on a plan to make this happen). Use code: runwilk for 15% off your purchase... don't walk... run & try these pants! You'll fall in love with them just like I have. Memory: Tumbling.Time really does fly! I hadn't realized how long it has been since I tumbled until I stumbled upon old videos. It really made me miss tumbling! Nothing beats the feeling when you've worked and worked for a skill, and finally you are able to do it without a spot & consistently.
I'm definitely stronger than I was when this video was taken, makes me want to go to an adult class and see where I'm at! Any former gymnasts/cheerleaders know the feeling? I'd love to hear from you! xoxo, Wilk |
