The Beat Goes on On - Running week of 1/26

[Veronica]

I got in another 4.4 miles today.

I didn't feel very well when I got home from work. The minute I got in the car to drive to work I started getting a headache this morning. This class makes me want to quit - right now. By the end of the day my stomach was in knots too.

I know working out will make me feel better and my wonderful honey sent me an encouraging e mail. So off I went. I set a new PB for this loop, by 35 seconds.

How long until June?

Yet another short barefoot run on that track, followed by the new strength/balance routine. I've had sore calves the past couple of times afterward, guess they need some extra stretches. I was going to swim tonight but skipped it because I got a flu shot today and my left deltoid is quite sore as a result--not so good for swimming freestyle!!

Intervals this morning, then straight to yoga all sweaty again. I should've brought a towel with me somehow.

I made an appointment for a massage with a therapist who works out of the yoga/bodyworks studio. She's supposed to be really good. My rotator cuff is getting better, but the soleus seems to be getting worse. For some reason motorcycling really aggravates it, which I don't understand - not in Florida, anyway.

I actually got in a bit of running today! I had to walk to the post office -- round trip 4 miles. Took the dog, and did a walk / slow jog interval from telephone pole to telephone pole. Worked out ok as long as I didn't try to go too fast. The calf is holding up -- a bit sore but nothing serious. Will rest it 2-3 days and do it again if still feeling well.

It's been 3 weeks since I last pulled that darn thing. I hope it's finally going to stay fixed! Still doing a lot of stretching / yoga and anything that doesn't require walking fast or running!

Oakleaf: The massage sounds heavenly. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed just thinking about it!

Veronica: I feel for you -- my hubby is having one of those teaching years, too -- June cannot come soon enough at our house! Hang in there!

Did some weights tonight and then a very short run of 2 miles at 8 min. per mile. The a/c is still broken at the gym so it was really humid and hot. Sweat was pouring off me like a river. Yuck.

I'm looking forward to getting outside on the bike this weekend for a change.

Ugh, I need a mental pick me up. I should start another thread on my mother and my 10k.

I did 2.4 Wednesday with DH, it was alright. Last night I tried to do 2.4 but I was dehydrated and fatigued. I only got in about 2 miles and called it a night. My legs are sore.

Ugh here too.

I changed my lunch routine to include a lot more fiber this week, and it caught up to me on this run. I found myself cutting my 4 mile run half a mile short to SPRINT back home. Ugh. Ugh Ugh. I do not usually have too many digestive issues, but I think I must have pushed my tummy to the limit this week, and then ran on it.

I am running again tomorrow and cycling on Sunday. Even though today was short, it's nice to be training again Yes, I am still being careful!
