Do you know anime One Punch Man? Your training starts to look like his. Be careful, maybe you gonna lose your hair and gain super power instead, like Saitama
Iāve already lost my hair years ago, are you saying I may have some super powers I donāt know about?
The only anime I know is āHajime no Ippoā its about boxing, but maybe Iāll check out One Punch Man
Iām not a big fan of anime myself, seen just few but One Punch Man is so funny, I can really recommend it
I did something every day last month I had 1 or 2 days that I just walked the dogs but that still counts. This was also my highest volume running month since January
PS-
I lost a little weight and it wasnāt muscle mass!!
23k steps, hike with elevation was only 1300ft but across crumbly cliff paths and of course up and down quite a few times.
240 zone minutes. Sore heels
Welcome to the thread Mya! I so relate to what you wrote and I know its hard to see yourself now not being able to do what you used to be able to do so easily and with so much motivation 6 months ago.
This comparison for me is what took so long to get over and Yes I too was filled with shame and hated that I could not do the basics. I didnāt even have the want as every time I did my pains would act up my inflammation would go crazy and i was far from where I knew I could be. But Hey ā I decided enough was enough. I am starting from today and no matter what I will give it my 100% as of today. Guess what - i still had all the issues pop up but overall I feel the progress. I am moving faster. I am lifting more. My stamina is improving. All with baby steps. Like super baby steps. I started 4 months ago with just walking up the stairs (due to pain and other issues i had to crawl before). Slowly building on this I have added more activity to my day. I do have some bad days and thatās ok. Just take it ODAAT. I know its hard but you are not alone.
Join us on the August challenge (modify it to what you can do but do it and who knows where that will lead).
Hope to see you here positing with us.

Hi Jazzy!!!
Thank you! I feel relieved and motivated.
I did some mobility stuff earlier this morning but did download the Smartwod app someone mentioned on the other thread ā¦ the workout generator.
I did not see the actual challenge (if thereās one posted)ā¦ still trying to navigate this forum correctly.
Anywho, thank you for your share and your encouragement. I feel itās easier for me to do something when Iām challenged and being part of that thread will be motivational for me! Thanks!!
Oh iām glad to hear it. I do find the challenges to be very helpful in motivating me also. Glad you are here with us and we will kick ass in August together.

Going to step things up a little for Marathon prep. Heading out for a half mara this morning. Hamstring is feeling surprisingly good after a couple days rest and gentle stretching. Iām going steady in or around 8:45 min/mile. Iād be very happy if I can complete this session with no major concerns. Maintain steady pace through to the last mile and no hamstring issues. Thatās all I want today.
Also having the motivation to get myself out the door and sticking to this block of training will do me a world of good.
Iāll check back in later for anyone who is interested.
See you on the other side
Last rest day today, Iāve given myself grace to miss Pilates. Back on it tomorrow.
Glad your hamstring is feeling better. Best of luck with the half marathon today.
