So, today I head on my treadmill for a 45 min run - yes the treadmill as I was too lazy to head outside for some unknown reason - and the run went really well, but... it was after the run that I realized that oh my, I really need to get back in to routine again.
The first part was that when I went to get my foam roller to do some rolling, I noticed that it looked like a shark had used it for a chew toy. It seems that my cat has decided that it was now theirs... not going to happen. I used it and it still did the job so that part was fine.
The part that really made me realize that I have been neglecting things is when I was rolling. Ouch!! All those days sitting doing assignments and studying had taken their toll on me and I was now paying for it dearly. Parts that I rolled that are not usually painful at all were screaming at me as I rolled and paused, and rolled and paused. I came to the conclusion that I need to roll a few times a day right now until things are a bit better.
The obvious part about not running and being active at all for a bit is my weight. I ended up gaining a bit from sitting on my butt. Thankfully I have been back on track with that also and only 3 more lbs to go till I am back to where I was before my university end of semester fun.
Before my little hiatus from all things running, I was participating in the Canadian Bloggers #RuntoCanadaDay challenge and was doing quite well at it until the stress of school started. Then it just did not happen. This week I have walked everyday thus far and as of today, back on track with everyone joining the challenge today, May 1st. :)
In the mean time, I am going to head back to my decluttering and spring cleaning of my house with all my new spare time that I have now. I am officially done my university classes for good and only have my Education internship in the fall. I have found that I have been so busy the last few years that I am going nuts not being busy now - I have even taken up learning Spanish and back to learning getting better at the guitar. Summer campfire season is coming! The Spanish will help with the travels.
Cheers!

Welcome back to the challenge! I hear ya! I've been sitting on my butt a lot lately too. Good job on the treadmill run. Keep it up & remember there are always bumps on the road.
I have a couple of yoga blocks that look like that. My cats seem to think they are really fun toys!
Tks Ange! Yeah, I started in April too but it did not last overly long. ;)
Well Crystal, hopefully life cooperates with us and we can get our motivation back. :)
