Blah, Blah, and Blah weather. Fog and drizzle, 51 degrees. Blah!
But that's okay....I have finally come out of my slight depression from not running Boston (Marathon) and I am ready to rock and roll.
A great new finding are these honey packets that are intended to work like the goo packets! I hope they work for fueling on the bike/run because that would help a lot.
Today, I did a longer run off of the bike and it felt pretty good. Carla has been such a help in instructing me in what to do. My problem, I always default to running because it is the easiest thing, just walk out the door. However, I can't just do that.
Also, I started back going to see the Chinese doctor. For those of you who don't know, Dr. Guo is amazing! He has helped out so many people in my family...and it is all natural. Don't ask me how it works...but it does and it's much better that loading up on drugs. Granted, I am taking about 50 herb pills each day, but that's different!
I did go to him a while back but wasn't patient enough...You see, herbs don't work like pharmaceuticals, they take time. So I have told myself that I will be patient and maybe this will be the solution to my stomach issues.
Back to my training...I have noticed a smidgeon of an ache at my medial right calcaneus...and I am always fearful that it is indicative of plantar fascitis. I have been icing, rolling out my ITB and working it good...so hopefully it does not come to fruition (For those readers not fully acquainted with our IronGal in training, Katie is a Physical Therapist, so the lingo just kinda flows).
Last week did a 2 hour run on Saturday and a 4.5 hour bike ride with a transition run on Sunday. The weather was beautiful and they both felt great...except for the transition run. My stomach got all cramped up and my legs felt like they were stuck in mud.
Okay Enough!Katie
