Long-Term Running Goals: I love training with others both on road and trail. I also find benefits of running solo when I need to focus and regroup.
Fun fact: Although I prefer to run outside, I don't mind the treadmill for pace accountability and for the blind assumption that I can run really fast. I have a lot of secret treadmill PR's at 0% incline:) Personal:

I should have gone with my gut.
I met with my trainer today and was scared to death. I knew he would put me through the ringer since I haven't seen him for the past 7 months. Since the marathon I have lost 8 pounds and 1.5% body fat. I'm not sure how I got that result becuase I don't feel like I have done anything agressive besides throw away my broken scale. Stoked anyway.
Anyway, he told me about this challenge he does with all his clients. Over the last 10 years, the record in this exercise is 3:00 for women. That sounded like a challenge I should have declined due to my glut and hammy issues but decided to challenge the record.
He lined up two of each weights 50, 35, 25, 15 at the foot of 15 stairs. The goal was to take each of the weights and line them up at the top of the stairs then bring them back down. You could take as much weight at one time as you wanted. So I went to town and beat the record in 1:53. I thew a small celebration for myself that was short lived when I realized after the rush that I had hurt my back. I thought it would go away, but it only got worse during the rest of the workout together. So after some elliptical action, I went home and rested for most of the day with some NSAIDS. Steve came home and did some hoky leg and back exercises with me.. He kept asking, "does this hurt, how about this?" After each of the tests he reports, "I can confidently tell you that you are not paralyzed. So you should rest. You likely strained your ligaments and some muscles." Ha ha ha ha. I'm glad I didn't have to pay for that! I love him anyway:)
So I guess I'll take some time off of running for a few days. If it doesn't get better I'll follow up with a specialist, I guess. I'm sure it will be okay soon. |

| I had a 10K today that I had planed to run, but ended up backing out due to ongoing back and hamstring issues. It was painful to see them start and finish. When the gun went off they all went off like they were going for an easy stroll. The top male finisher finished in 45:00 and 50:00 for the girl. At least the T-shirt was cool. Anway, ran with my kids for the mile race. My daughter finished in second place and my son walked most of it. Fun day! |

I haven't had much to post lately due to not having a computer at home, just an Itouch that is not compatible for posts. Nursing a couple injuries in my back and hamstring. I've been meeting with my Chiropractor, who Steve thinks anyone without an MD is a witch doctor. I love him and he has been helpful with some physical therapy techniques, iceing, TENS, ultrasound and taping:) Getting better, but only cross training this week. Hopefully this can be resolved before UV half....

| Cross training continued. Elliptical 5 miles, bike 2 miles. I need to do intervals, not feeling like I am doing anything. I almost feel asleep this morning and left the gym smelling excellent, not a good sign of hard work on my part. More PT stuff after gym, getting better. | | Comments(2) |

| I have been off for several days after the Dr suggested that I have complete rest with no cross training. The guess is that I have a bulging disc in my lower back. I don't want to pay for the MRI so we are treating like it is. Rest. So I took several days off of complete exercise and couldn't stand the way I felt anymore. Going 100 to a 0 can make anyone go crazy in the head! So I decided to walk/run to see how I felt. No standard mileage, just went by feel. Walked the hill at the beginning and the end and ran 2.75. Four miles total. Back was fine, glut and hammy were bothersome to a small degree. I jogged pretty slow, but I know that If I had put any effort into my pace or stride, it wouldn't be good. Noticed my fitness is lacking too, just stale. I know it will all come back in due time. At this point UV is looking very dismal. Oh well, my friend Christi from the blog was injured up until literally the night before last year and ran UVM in with a PR. So I won't call it quits until the last minute. If I'm able to do it, I might just have to redefine my expectations. Just not sure about that hill...... Has anyone used the compression biking shorts, if so, do you like them or think they are helpful? I know Andrea uses some....

| Planning to get a small walk/hike in with the family today. I'll start running tomorrow and hopefully be able to run 13.1 without any pain in the next 2 weeks. Excited to start going again! | | Comments(1) |

| 4 miles on BST with Steve on bike. Discomfort, but no pain. I have a 5k this weekend I will likely use as a MP workout if feeling good. | | Comments(2) |
