PT light bulb moment, and I get to try running!

SWIM 1200y in 30 mins, first with more swim than pull!
BIKE COMMUTE 1.2 miles, haha
PT with JH

Since Tuesday's session with JH, I've been trying to make the association between pressing back/down with one leg on the yoga ball and pressing down into the floor with the contralateral arm, while lifting the other leg (isolateral to the arm). I figured there had to be a connection, as JH describes all this as working up to running. He does the motion so fast, a springy jump that I've yet to learn.

This was my first opportunity to try making the connection (at this point I'm assuming there actually is a connection to make...) between one leg pushing back and the opposite arm doing the same. Walking the dog, couldn't do it. But on the treadmill, I could! Especially if I slowed down and put the focus one one leg/arm at a time. Once I could feel it, I'd focus on the feeling on one side, then the other, than back to the other.

JH said my walk is looking good, and I ask about this connection I'm investigating. He just smiles, and I realize my light bulb is kinda late turning on!! HAHA!  Yes, there is a connection. And I found it. And it does feel good.

At the end, I get encouraged to try running. But not with the 1 min/1 min protocol. Follow MY protocol. And mostly focus on recovery. I misunderstood this at first. I was thinking 24-36-48 hour recovery, he meant a walking recovery between the next short run. Good thing I asked, I was way off. And don't use a treadmill, get away from the numbers.

It's going to be a warm weekend. With running!
