running did my legs in
[. I am also feeling very strong and making great progress, but a little freaked out that I'm up in weight.[/quote]
Hopefully this is just a phase as we build muscle,,Maybe I'll stick to weighing myself once a fortnight instead of once a week, I get too reliant on what the scales say, I should go by strength instead but there is such a psychological boost when you see those numbers come down..
I went running on Friday after a month off. I run with a womens running group who go on Monday and Firday, but both my kids have sport and scouts on those nights so it has been a logistical nightmare juggling them, work, my husband and incontinent dog with all that,, so on Friday i just had to go. My legs felt a bit weaker, though the heart and lungs were ok. But saturday morning, I really felt it in my adductors so doing weights was out of the question, I still feel a little sore this morning so will now have to wait til tuesday to lift. I think I will stick with lifting twice a week and running once a week and see how things go.
Off to watch my son play cricket today, mighty yawn....
