\"Hand<\/a>A day late but it’s time to catch up on how the running is going!<\/p>\n

Still slowly making progress but it’s getting there.\u00a0 This week I started taking kickboxing and boxing classes at a local gym.\u00a0 It’s more of a conditioning class where for an hour the focus is bag work and core strengthening moves.\u00a0 There’s no punching or sparring with other people.<\/p>\n

I like it because it’s a high intensity workout yet you can go at your own pace.\u00a0 The second class kicked my butt and I totally had the workout high going on.\u00a0 I felt amazing!<\/p>\n

And it’s nice to be able to punch and kick stuff again.\u00a0 This is my kind of workout.\u00a0 Not tossing around weights, climbing ropes, or down dog.\u00a0 An hour with a heavy bag is much more enjoyable to me.<\/p>\n

Running has slowed down a bit since I’m introducing a new workout to my routine.\u00a0 I don’t want to tax myself too much and risk injury.\u00a0 However my running is staying consistent, I haven’t lost anything by taking a few days off.<\/p>\n

Today I ran and I bet I could have run the full mile but my left hip was holding me back.\u00a0 It’s a little sore and stiff from kickboxing and it actually hurt as I ran.\u00a0 So much that it started affecting my running gait and that’s when I knew I needed to stop.<\/p>\n

I’ve got enough running experience to know that if something hurts as you run or if you have to start adjusting your gait because of it, it’s time to stop.\u00a0 I ran a little over half way and then walked the rest of the mile back home.<\/p>\n

I didn’t mind.\u00a0 Yes it sucked I couldn’t run the whole thing but I still got outside this morning, moved my body, and enjoyed the cool snowy morning.\u00a0 More kickboxing later today and then I’ll be set to get snug on the couch and watch some hockey.<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that I’m Instagramming<\/a> my whole running and workout journey this year.\u00a0 Follow me and keep a look out for the hashtags #Run2014 and #GetFit.\u00a0 If you’re working out and working towards getting fit this year, use those hashtags and share your journey too!<\/strong><\/p>\n
