IronLucy: August 2013
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, 25 August 2013. I had planned to do the yoga 'Detox' disc again today, but woke up with very sore legs. It did feel hard work when I did it yesterday, lots of chair pose (like a wall sit, without the wall) standing splits and other things that involve standing on one leg. So, I went for my run this morning, and will do the 'Hardcore' and 'Gentle' discs tonight. It feels good to juice. I don't want my body to be crap and give up on me. So juicing. Rawness. Fitness. Yeah. Saturday, 24 August 2013.

IronLucy: Kick-Ass Improvement
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013/08/kick-ass-improvement.html
Sunday, 11 August 2013. Lat night was the first time I did the yoga 'Cross training' disc and kept up, all the way through. No stopping and slipping into child's pose while skinny Californians on my television keep going like it aint no thang. It was hard work, but I felt good. Today I ran for 4 miles, and also went on a 3 mile walk with the kid. And tonight I will do the strength training disc. That IS hard. I WILL NOT be able to complete that. Yet. If today was my last, would it feel wasted? Be Iron Fi...

IronLucy: September 2013
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Monday, 2 September 2013. Blogging Is Reeeally Hard. I have been a bit lax recently. Since have a dental/sinus unpleasantness to deal with, running has been very hard. I should have let everything heal, but I went back to running too quickly, and ended up with a bleeding mouth and nose whenever I went out the door, and came home looking like I had snacked on some roadkill en route. So, I am taking a couple of weeks off from running to let everything really settle down. Tales Of Unexpected Badassery.

IronLucy: April 2013
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 April 2013. I'm trying to work out the balance between getting the training done, and not making my sinuses any worse. So today I went out to see how far I could go without feeling rough, and at about 8 miles I felt a little odd, and so did 10 by the time I got home, still feeling ok-ish. Monday, 29 April 2013. Yay, And What? The yay is a surprise package! My truly lovely friend Anneke is just back from Sea Otter (a big bike festival type thing in California) and she sent me this! Still feeli...

IronLucy: May 2013
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Friday, 31 May 2013. I'd say my foot is about 25% better. It starts off great in the morning, but goes wrong after a day of walking about at work. The cross trainer made it a bit worse, as it makes me lift up my heel, so I will be just doing the turbo. I found some good banisters at work to lift myself up on, in a parallel bars style way. I see how long I can hold myself before my shaking arms give out. It's about 14 seconds at the moment. I really want to run! Really hope I'm running again by next week.

IronLucy: July 2013
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Tuesday, 30 July 2013. The 108 day program requires three days of 'cleansing' for the end of each 36 day cycle. It starts off as a vegan no-crap type thing for the first one (I can do vegan rather well, it's the no crap part) and by the last cycle, it's 3 days of juice fasting.(Gah! Anyway, I'm not there yet, but as my calorie-burning powers are scuppered at the moment with the ankle, I am going to do a mini cleanse thing now. I have decided to base it on brown rice, fruit and veg. This is healthy stodge.

IronLucy: Weekend Of Awesome
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013/08/weekend-of-awesome.html
Saturday, 24 August 2013. Too much work recently. This is my weekend of being super, super healthy. I will be going back to running everyday, and although I've been doing yoga everyday, this weekend will be extra yoga, mountains of fruit and veg. Also, I am the Citrus Queen! I am knocking back lemon and lime water by the gallon. This morning I ran just over three miles, taking it easy to see if everything was OK with my sinuses, and it was. No spitting blood or nosebleeds. View my complete profile. Pictu...

IronLucy: January 2013
http://ironlucy.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Thursday, 31 January 2013. That's the sound of foam rollering. Today was a rest day, so I had a little early morning walk in the woods for the fun of it, did the 20 min core section of Turbo Fire, and the stretching and rollering section of P90X, and some hip exercises. That I hope will work. Doing less running and more stretching doesn't seem to make much of a difference, my hips like to hurt, so strengthening them seems the next logical step. 163;85 is such good value for a full iron distance triathlon.
