Hi Cheetahs,
it was a 8 mile run for me today with a lot of slideboard, & floorwork before and after and some abs from SS. The run was fun. Yesterday I did kickboxing mishmosh from KPC & TurboJam before dropping off my 12yo DS at camp. Sad to say goodbye, but I think he'll have a great time.
Carole -- I checked the website and like Mattea, was not sure if it meant your runner didn't make it or just didn't make it at the expected time. I'm rooting for you!
Laura -- congrats on your race on so many fronts. Feeling better everyday and feeling like you ran in a way that felt like you were getting back in your "groove" is most excellent. And Way to go on placing 2nd in your age group! Yahoo! How's your breathing since the new meds the doc added? Where I live the Pollen count is going down everyday, so I'm wondering if you might be getting some relief in that way, too?
Jess-- it's nice you're enjoying your X-training on bikes and your long runs are going well. I'm a fan of swimming for X-training and felt it really helped me in the month before my half marathon. Organizing at home feels good!
Karen-- Glad your ITB overall is feeling better, but I second Mattea's advice that it's probably a win-win situation to find the right sports medicine/orthopedic doctor to see and get some additional info on what's up with your knee/outer leg area.
I was thinking today during my run, after doing L& G floor work to warm up: do you have Legs & Glutes and PLB? I know you have GS tapes and Slow & Heavy, but can't remember if you have L& G and PLB? The floorwork on both and the standing work on L&G really mimics many of the PT exercises I was given for my hip/ITB injury. Keep on being smart about your training adjustments. You're still on track for your race. You have plenty of time and are in good shape!
Christine--your trip sounds amazing and the mud sounds like an adventure and the rest like a real luxury.
Pamela -- ditto on Mattea's advice, to the Yoga. But I always have to be careful that I ease into it, because I can easily "over stretch" too early in the workout.
Mattea- what a fun day with DH. That sounds ideal to me. I know what you mean about figuring out what to do rotation wise. I find it hard to get the right mix when I'm also focusing on running. Do you have Push-Pull and Supersets? I sometimes do one of those premixes when nothing else is grabbing me. I like the total body + core effect of those tapes.
Hi to everyone else checking in later today: Marcia, Gayle, Judy, Elaine, Cathy, Shelly C, Wendy and other vacationing cheetahs...Karin --when are you checking in for the week? We miss you.
have a great Sunday.
