Hello! Sorry for the late post but yesterday was quite the day. The staff said Wednesday would be the worst but I think Thursday took the prize. Of course the morning started with our familiar 5K route through Two Harbors and ended with a session in the pool. We then went to our favorite place - the ballroom! Sounds nice, right? Well, it is always set up with fun circuits for us to do (including the dreaded Bosu ball!). Camille and I were rotating around the stations and working really hard when all of a sudden I was slamming down a 12lb ball and it got away from me. I went to go pick it up and I felt something tighten in my left hamstring area. Of course I tried to shake it off and finished that station and moved onto butterfly kicks which are done down on the floor. I got down but then the pain increased and I ended up in tears on the floor. Fast forward a few hours and my leg was really in pain. I iced the heck out of it and got in the car for our afternoon hike. We went back to Spitrock and I was going to find some level trails to walk but there really weren't any so I spent 2 hours making the loop in the parking lot:) At least I was walking! Camille was so amazing and hiked (double time!) with her group back up the Minnesota Mountain for a great photo moment. I can't tell you how amazing everyone is here. The ladies in our group are so hard working and encouraging! We got back and ate dinner. Camille was feeling nauseous and went to bed right away. Bedtime at Fitness North is around 7pm...who would have ever thought two night owls would go to bed before the sun?! There are difinitly some things to pray about and we are so thankful for all of your support.
Here is what we ate Day 4!
Protein Shake
Breakfast - 1/4 cup egg beaters mixed with some fresh veggies and a flat bread bun
Lunch - Chicken and Bean Burrito - wrap, chicken, sauteyed peppers/onions/mushrooms, salsa, Laughing Cow cheese wedge
Dinner - Cod with lime and spinich, Lemon Garlic Green Beans (so good!)
Snack - Orange
So how is your hamstring now? Are you able to sleep well? We'll keep praying for endurance and "no injuries!" Love you!
