Running update

28 mins, 5km, nike 31 mins, 4.08km, star trac 2 incline in the first 1.5km. 0.0 after that. Was able to. Maintain 10kph for 3 mins. Knees seem fine. Lower back feels weak. Was not able to Work out much on Sunday. Just stretching. I realize I need to stretch everyday. The sciatica management is everyday and when the  pain is mostly gone, working on strengthening. Maybe a month, September when Im into strengthening enough to know a new form and able to carry as much as before.

Running update

29 mins, 5km, nike 30 mins, 3.9km star trac 0.0 incline, had 2 incline to begin with but got down to 0.0 after 1.5km Back sore, right knee has some healing  to go. Left knee feels fine. Feet and shin had some stress and that foreshadows more stress before I reach my next performance level. Sciatica stretches, then hiit, and then pushups and chair dips after planned. Maybe a sciatica wind down.

Injury update

The sciatica management stretches has helped a lot with  my back lately. The pain when I bend over has not been around lately. I should have  done this earlier. This is much cheaper than the therapy at in health way at 20usd 1k php per visit. So I hope I can keep this up. Currently working on arms (pull ups, push-ups, and chair dips) and doing the stretches between runs. Running twice a week because of my knees being week. August 15 for going back running more often. https://youtu.be/CbZzeO4P9YA

Expenses Update

Need to set this up. I can't afford an Audible Account.  My big Expenses this month of July are: The Ab Axxel because the deposit and the monthly. The 4k per month is a big dent in our monthly.  Grocery at 15k per month seems to be pretty steady. It has gotten cheaper with the eating corned beef. Especially A big chunk was food expense was eating out for that project: 220+300 = 520 per day for every time we ate out. So thats about twice a week 4 weeks a onth was about 8*520 = 4160php per month. But once I started packing lunch with it was 220 per day of meal. so it went down by half. So its now 1760php. Saving 2400 per month.  The corned beef has about a 22 days * (80php corned beef, 20php egg, 10php rice) = 2,420php per month to feed me. Coffee everyday is about 2,287php at 50grams a day at 1.5php per gram of beans.  Softdrinks is about a 2L per 2 days, thats about 900php of softdrinks a month. 

Running update

24:30 mins, 4.66km nike 26:51 mins, 3.55km star trac 0.0 incline, knee recovery, est recovery by Aug 15. Giving it 3 weeks. And even after that 2.0 incline and doing 4.0 once a week and normalizing between 0.0 and 2.0 incline. Slept 6 hours.  Need to sleep earlier. See morning  update reports. Right knee feels weak, but not so much  as the left when it started acting up. But uncontrollable weakening unlike  lack if strength.

Morning Rituals

Trying to take medicine at 5am, and wake up at 5:45 or 6am. If I can get coffee done in 20mins and drink it 20mins I'd be good. I need to be in the gym by 7am. Today i'll probably be in the Gym by 8:15. Run till 9:15 and hope to be on time for my 10:00am meeting. Goals I need to sleep less. 6-7 hours are sustainable.  I need to eat less.  Coffee is about 100-200ml of milk on average 90cal and 4g of protien  Corned Beef/Pork with 3 eggs and Rice are less than 1k calories.  Corned Beef: 320g of meat, 426 calories, 56g protien, 2000mg of sodium Rice 150g 160 calories 3 Eggs 240 calories 14g of protein.  Dinner is a problem because we cant not pig out. He have to have a pre-agreed solution thats sustainable. 

Exercise update

Just two sets of 30 second push-ups and chair dips. Timed about 5.5 mins rest in between. That's about 30 mins not counting this post. I will need the backpack with the vest inside for this. This exercise are a bunch of time. I need a customization interval. One key take away is that arms can feel pretty pumped at the end of an Arm day. Maybe always end with the sciatica exercise. Goal is to work out till I can't move my arms. To figure out at what point they will fail.
