I went out running, 2 miles, the first time in almost two weeks. I had a most excellent time, and my hip didn't hurt at all! That's what I was most scared of: the hip pain. I am glad that it was nowhere to be seen. I have passed it on to someone, passed it to a mammoth who can take the pain. The mammoth will carry it around for years and years and remain unaffected.
The plan is to ease back into running. Maybe 2 tomorrow, then 5 Thursday, 2 Friday, 3 Saturday, and 5 Sunday. Then rest Monday. Something like that.
By the end of December I want to be at around 50-60 a week...then 2009 can begin! I feel that next year is going to be GREAT!

On the PT menu, there was another Mammoth workout. It is called The Full Mammoth, which means that you get in all the main exercises: pullup, situp, pushup, fire hauler, dips. It is different from The Mammoth, which only has the pullup, pushup, situp.
This was what was on my plate:
15 sets of The Full Mammoth:
8 pull = 120
20 sit = 300
20 push = 300
20 fire = 300
8 dips = 120
At first I thought I would do 20 sets of The Full Mammoth, but then decided that I wanted to do PT again this week without being sore and tired. A good choice, I think. On Thursday I am planning a small pyramid workout, and then supersets on Saturday.
Finished off the workout with 2 x 30 neck and 200 crunches.
Totals:
120 pull
500 ab
300 push
300 fire
120 dips
60 neck
Can't wait to get back into doing atomic situps, leg levers, and flutter kicks...but this time I will ease into it...they might have been what initially caused pain in the hip flexor, pain which migrated throughout the hip joint.

Mammoth = pullup, situp, pushup
•••••
Full Mammoth = pullup, situp, pushup, fire, dip
•••••
SUPER MAMMOTH = 200 meter sprint, pullup, situp, pushup, fire, dip
That is what I want to do. The SUPER MAMMOTH. It has to be capitalized, the word does, to make it look awesome.

WOOLY MAMMOTH = 200 meter sprint, pushup, situp, pushup, fire, dip, 25 meter swim sprint

Who wants to do the WOOLY MAMMOTH sometime?
Raise your hands, bitches.

Another excellent PT.
How can one to the wooly mammoth with the swim and sprint? run outside and then back inside, or just run around the pool?
My hand is up. I'm inventing a pool with a track around it.
