Dear James, Daniel and Emily,
Made yet another error with my body weight exercises. I thought I could handle a double day, turns out I was wrong. So time to adjust, no problem.
I did my first workout on Thursday, no problem, did a better job of handling the timing and reps. So didn't have the soreness from that one. Then Saturday I charged into my planned double down day: ran then came home and did my body weight work out. Turns out that was a mistake.
I was sore for 2 days. I was able to run on Monday, but slowly. And I didn't even try to do the body weight workout on Sunday or today, putting myself back behind schedule again. But I should be able to run again tomorrow, and keep the running schedule going.
Clearly I erred in thinking I was ready for a double day. But not a problem, I can adjust things. It means I lose Friday as a rest day, in order to get in my 4 body weight workouts per week, and my 3 running days. And if I complete a week with that schedule and feel that I need a rest day I will adjust again.
Because I can be flexible with this, so long as I am getting the exercises I want, and sticking to some programs. The hardest part right now is accepting that I cannot perform the long running routes I was doing last year, I see places I was running and think to myself how I want to run there again. But I know I can get there, I just need to be patient, stick to the program. And the body weight exercises will help me get there once I get into the flow with them.
