So that’s exactly what I did! I started on the treadmill, which I now dislike starting there after hearing a tidbit somewhere else that starting on the weight floor is more effective! It was an ESP day, which as I said before are my least favorite days. I was pretty happy that I was able to still throw down a lot of speed on the power block of the workout. I ended with 2.4 miles on the treadmill! That was my farthest distance on the treadmill at OTF. You typically spend about 25-30 minutes on the treadmill so this was improvement. When we switched to the floor I had to be a little creative with my arm issue. Some of moves I was able to just do weights with one arm. Other movements I just did reverse lunges instead. At one point the team had to go to the rowers and I pretended I was jumping rope in order to get my heart rate up like everyone else. Part of me was like, “Everyone is probably wondering why I’m not doing the same workout.” Then I thought,”Wait a minute, no one cares! On top of that, I’M HERE!!!!” The last part of the floor block was going back to the rower for 5 minutes. I asked Coach Bianca if I could just do the last treadmill block since I couldn’t pull with my right arm. She told me to go for it! By the way, that last 5 minute block was all POWER (speed!) and was probably the hardest block to do twice. I know I am getting stronger because there is no way I could have done THAT three weeks ago!

When class was over I grabbed my phone so that I could get some pictures of the studio so I can share what this magical place looks like! I will post that in my next blog!
