Fell Off The Wagon and Getting Back On

Not going to lie, I didn't do my 5BX exercises.  Not for a day or a week...but almost an entire month.  My last entry in my Google Sheet was June 6th.  Didn't even record a run for that day.  I hate to think what my mile run time looks like now.  I think I stopped exercising because my knee was hurting one day and then my foot the other.  While I did hurt my foot (at a rehearsal, I think), I used that as a crutch to indulge laziness for the rest of the time.  Once in a while, I'd tell myself, "I should go running" but then I don't.  All the same, I'm making a stand today and going to try and get back on the wagon.  I've set up a separate Google Sheet for catching up and recording my new results.  I plan to do Chart 3 of 5BX everyday, aiming for level I stopped at (D+).  I believe consistency is key to being in good shape, that I can consistently run a mile in a set amount of time if the need arose (my best when I was doing 5BX every day was 7:55).  When I can hit my marks five days in a row, I'll jump back on the regular 5BX sheet and continue.

I can do this.  I know I can...  Wish me luck.

UPDATE: I did my exercised this morning and it turned out mostly well.  The calisthenics all would have passed at the D+ level.  I even threw in a one minute plank at the very end.  The only exercise that didn't pass was running (clocked in at 9:09.  The "goal" is 8:45).  Then again, from what I understand, cardio endurance will go before muscular endurance after a substantial lapse in actiivity.  However, it's also easier to bring back up to par than muscular endurance.  I will say one thing about the run though, my right knee started hurting halfway through the third lap.  When I first started running this year (before I got it organized with the 5BX program), my knee would start hurting about three quarters of the way through my mile.  However, doing those half-miles in Chart 1 helped condition my legs to run the mile, so I think I just need to recondition my knee.

So yeah, everything is good.  Just need to work on running...and the only way to get better at that is to go running.  :)
