Start your day right
6-miles very slow and easy. Just one more day of running left on my plan, yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10 min. of warm-up walkin' and 20 min. elliptical followed by a good stretchen' and just a little vanity liftin'.
Keep running!
renovating a bathroom too?
;-)
"Vain" ... now don't laugh too hard. I'm about bustin' a gut.
49:47, felt really strong. Warmup, half the miles at an "uncomfortable" pace, cooldown.
with DeLaney. I plan to run again later before the coaches meeting at the HS.
Today I used my old inner soles in my new shoes and Vaseline, I ran pain and blister free! Yay!
give me a call at home...I'll bring over the book. my numbers in the phone book
:) you must be relieved.
15 minute warmup with Brian.
15 minutes covering 4500 meters, so about 5:20 pace. This was actually the oughest part of this workout because I was actually bored. Ya, my problem.
Next I ran a 10 minute piece. Got to 3200 meters in 9:59. Felt much better at this pace.
5-minute piece going thru 1600 meters in 4:51.
2:30 piece going thru 800 meters in 2:19.
Then 10x100 meters
15 minute cooldown.
I'd say 11 miles total.
Bored... you're silly
I usually do this off the track, which is not as boring. Luckily Brian was timing me and kept me from falling a sleep. I've done my share of long workouts on the track and I'd rather run on the road. Of course coaches seem to always make you do what you don't like and I think the main reason was to give my quads a rest after tiring them out a lot last week.
"Of course coaches seem to always make you do what you don't like" ~ thus the reason you want me to run a 5K???????
But I do what my coach tells me.
How's that 5-k coming?
Good luck this weekend at Boston. I'll be there painted in blue and white on Heartbreak hill. I'll have beer, water and gatorade for you.
...just have plenty of BEER!!!!!
See, my coach said to run a 5k, but there haven't been any in this area...this past weekend was the first & I didn't think it would be smart...maybe I could just run my own???
seem to always make you do what you don't like"....hmmmmm, I may remember this sentence. I will act like I LOVE the workouts I least like from now on! LOL
to hear someone who doesn't get bored water running, get bored on the track!
Ryan gets so frustrated with training me. He tries to make me do something I don't like and I end up liking it.
felt a little "off" which I will blame on not swimming yesterday. Nothing difficult,
600 6 x 100 on 1:20 300 6 x 50 on :40 150 6 x 25 on :30 easy/fast 3 x 200 free 200 back 8 x 25 breast 200 whip kick 4 x 25 breast 200 back 100 pull 25 fly/25 free
Flutter kick feels really good with backstroke at least. I am figuring that stroke out!
for Saturday is to run the Unity 5k, then I've got a swim meet in Ellsworth. You are all invited to come see me swim... it starts at 12:30.
:-)
Provided my baseball team doesn't have practice later in the day, I might take you up on that offer!
Long run instead of speed intervals. 73:01. I battled through a big side stitch in the last few miles - a lot of that had to do with an empty stomach. (I should have had a little something mid-morning.) Good workout, though, and my longest run since Hyannis.
Robin is looking for a ride on sat. I am going but am going on to Portland after her #667-9219 if anyone has room
home, no worries.
she may need a ride both ways
I'll call her.
Felt great.
Spotter, that's the first time I've heard an empty stomach being blamed for stitch. Have you found that to be true for you?
physiological cause is unknown. I can tell you wind is not a cause, contrary to what Judson said on Michele's post :-)
may be something like: muscle fatigue (weak muscle? fatigued muscle? cramping in the pool after lots of cycling and running for me... fatigue) electrolyte imbalance - that would interfere with the actin and myosin cross bridge not releasing
stitches has been proven. It's oats, as in eating too many. Don't you remember Sham getting into the oat bin just before the 1973 Kentucky Derby? He stitched up coming down the stretch, allowing Secretariat to blow his doors off.
I did have an Oat & honey granola bar that morning...that must have been it!
a coach I had when I was little told all of us that we had to eat food or else the body would start eating itself (the stitch) in order to get energy to keep going. I never questioned her, but it seemed like she was right.
burning protein (from muscle) to make energy
but I don't know if that makes stitches!!!
The commons are 2 for 2 on having good food today. Oatmeal banana pancakes this morning, then a Thai tofu and veggie stir fry for first lunch. I think I will grab more of that after class for second lunch :-)
eat some hamburgers. Or drink badger milk.
I'll have to ask about that
they have it. It will make you strong and make your senses animal like!
badger milk may exist but Hilltop hasn't found out about it yet
Haven't you seen the movie, The Animal. You would have known I was joking if you had.
when I try to watch them, I usually wind up falling asleep in the first five minutes. And that one I've never heard of!
that side stitches are caused by many factors (or theoretically so). Alyie brought up a few possibilities. I also know it can also be a lack of sufficient oxygen to the muscle that's cramping, or so I've read. Usually if that's the case, I can take deep breaths and it'll fade away. This time, it didn't, and to go along with the stitch I had a dull ache IN my stomach (hunger pain), so I blamed it on lack of food. Not sure if it's accurate for me to say that, though.
3.72 of those miles was a workout. Averaged 8:15's for the workout portion. 8X2:30 @ 8:30 pace getting faster every 30 sec. 90 sec. float (9 min. pace) in between. All of these sets were on rolling hills, so it was a pretty tough workout. Amy was there to pull me through the last and toughest set. She wouldn't leave my side even though I could tell she was feeling strong. She's too sweet. I would have left her:)
about 150 miles below our average. I know people are tapering but if you have any miles you haven't yet added to the Edenometer please do so. We're now entering the final week of our miles for Two Trials effort.
on the Eagle Lake Road. Have to be careful out there, not much shoulder in spots.
Thanks for lending me the book, Judy!
pigfarm-picnic area skinny loop. Didn't see a soul out there.
tonight at 8:00 P.M. on PBS...MPBN in Edenland!
5m run on an especially good weather day hereabouts, with some nice cool breezes to enjoy. Had a nice 1 mile stroll afterwards with Vanessa. Thanks for the reminder Frank, I'll bop over and do some back-posting on the Edenometer. We got caught up in helping put on a an 8K race and fun run and also had some birthday bash fun with the full clan. Life is good and I'm thinking a lot about being back in the woods!
4.3 miles. with Matt H. it's like running with Brendan again. he doesn't train often but he always wants to run quick. Felt good so I rolled with it.
around Leonard Lake. That's a real nice loop; I should do it more often.
Michele, I'm sending you healing vibes. At least all the ones that I don't need recovering from dropping part of a hoop house on my ankle. : ) I'll be better in a day probably; I hope you're just as quick getting better!
Amy T just called and we may try to do 2/3 miles on Thur. or Friday are either days good for you Michele how are the trigger point balls and wheel working
with Michele?
still a little brisk for this time of year but I'm still adapting to outdoors after the mill.Feeling stronger each run.
not a big deal by any means but I emailed him a few times with no reply and feel like asking for PR updates was some outrageous request.Despite providing race info dates,times,location the races were still logged incorrectly and both races as far as info was available in "results" at this website.10k in Saco last Oct and mid-winter 10 miler.Smacks of an attitude Mr.Hubbell and I'm not impressed.
has a lot on his plate right now. You've had some awesome PR's and the Eden Officer's will work on updating those.
we all have busy lives I certainly do working at Fairchild.Saying you don't have time to reply to an email is total b.s.I emailed Brian a couple times and was ignored.
your emails probably got buried, not ignored. Brian is drinking from the proverbial firehose, turned on full throttle. Be cross with me, since I haven't even taken steps to get authorization to make edits to the site. I'll work on that and will start pulling my weight on site maintenance.
Just wrapping a grant application and heading to bed . . . my problem is ME . . . for some reason I ignored, or should I say, failed to recognize an old sciatic nerve issue I have wrestled with all through my twenties and during pregnancies. All through the winter, my left side got progressively stiffer. I stretch pretty religiously but for some reasons I never stretched the periformis muscles - go figure. I went for an easy 7 mile run and experienced irradiating electric-like jolts emerging from the right buttock down to the hamstring. Thanks for the stuff Tom, it works great.
Oh well! On Monday I will either be running next to Amy or cheering next to Ginger. Either way, I am OK with it. It is about the journey not the destination.
Cheers!
I had a similar problem before I ran sugarloaf. I ignored mine too and eventually the shooting pains went into my lower back. I went to a chiropractor and he gave me a few adjustments that really helped. My pelvis was out of alignment (probably caused by the slant of the road). My left side was still tight when I ran Sugarloaf but the adjustments got rid of the shooting pains down the hamstring and into the lower back. Good luck with it. I hope you’re able to run this weekend :)
winter 2005.Which lead to me cross-training on a bike so something good came out of it I guess.But I could have avoided the injury I think if I had iced it at the initial onset of pain.I freeze large food storage bags of water.I'll smack one of the frozen bags on the edge of the counter and take one of the large thick chunks of ice and massage it in to the inflamed area.In my case it's my knee but it works well on muscles too.I think ice is underrated by athletes.Maybe because it's so accessible and old fashioned.
hope your injury is resolved soon.
I'm impressed with your attitude. It's a great reminder to all of us runners. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Hope to get some runs in with you and Amy this summer.
feels so good to run outdoors.Pace continues to improve.The mill kept me in good running shape but race goals require outdoors running.I've found it doesn't matter how you adjust the mill more incline,speed,etc.You can expect to run slower outdoors.Treadmill running is far easier.
...best Of luck all Eden runners getting ready for BM.
