I mentioned last weekend that my leg hurt on my 12 mile run, and then the first few miles of my 13.1 mile run this past weekend. I also noticed it bothering me later that day when we walked around NYC. Through the magic of Internet self-diagnosis, I think I have a mild case posterior [...]

I mentioned earlier in the week that I wanted to talk about two recent New York Times health articles. The second article that caught my mind was actually published about a month ago. The article talks about the difference between bike injuries and running injuries. Since I’ve had the displeasure of experiencing both in the [...] This week has been much better for me so far. I’ve been reminding myself that if I can’t change a situation that makes me unhappy, then there is no point thinking about it all the time. For now I’m trying to focus on the positive and make moves to change the situation. Also, my day [...] As you all know, people across the U.S. start their Thanksgiving holiday with a 5K or 10K Turkey Trot race. Last year, I went to Rochester with Neil’s family and it was actually my first time participating in a Thanksgiving Day race. Usually I plan to have a big night out on Wednesday night with [...] Have you ever gotten an MRI? I am very grateful I only had to put my foot in the machine and hope I never have to do a full body scan.

There are a few small races I was planning on doing in the next two months, plus I was hoping on maintaining the fitness I gained from training.

I am grateful for my sweet gruff husband who always thinks I am capable of more than I believe I can do. I finally got back a decent bike [...] Sunday night I woke up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I could not believe how sore my quads were! I wasn’t sore after my 20 mile training run, so the fact that it was so painful took me by surprise. I took a sick day on Monday and [...] This week my injury paranoia came back full force. Again I thought I was feeling the beginning of a stress fracture, but after my lunchtime run I’m cautiously optimistic that it’s not. Let me back up a little. Last night it was the perfect weather to sit outside and enjoy a beer. I met up [...] |
