Winter training 2011-2012

I have been working on upper body strength this winter. I have been fighting some nerve or muscle twinges in my hips that are concerning. Jay at Anytime Fitness has helped us with some exercises strengthen the upper body. I have found that I can’t sprint without some pain, so I’m working back from that (I really seemed to go downhill after the Senior Games!). I ran a local 10K race with my dad in December and that went well — I was tired, but felt fine and my hips didn’t bother me. I think I haven’t been running enough and will pick up the mileage while continuing to work on my core strength. We’ll see if I can get back to where I was last spring…
