Apparently kicking the covers and fighting people in a dream causes pain in an area that is not supposed to move that much yet. Crippes a mitty it aches today.
Interesting Ginger Runner Live interview yesterday about Kaci Liktieg and recovering from her injuries (hip/pelvis fractures). Her references to slow training and the stuff I read about Ameila Boones injuries and recovery were also impressive. Basically I need to be very patient and let things heel which is hard to do. However, walking around th ehouse lets me know about it real quick. Best quote was in reference to "not teaching your body to remember how to run again. But to re-training your ligaments and joints to understand the impact and stresses of running again". Never more than a 10 min pace in the first few months of training/running was a shocker.
On the food front... crossed under 200 lbs for the 2nd day in a row. 197. Dramatically cut my food intake and volume. I used to eat whatever and stay at approximately 203-205. After I stopped running, in 1 week I hit 210. So I had to make some significant changes.
Daily mileage:0
Weekly mileage:0
After years of working my way up the ultra distance ladder I was able to run in & complete my first 100 miler at Javelina in Oct 2017. Not knowing the Western States 100 entry rules I missed the cutoff for the 2018 lottery. Going into 2018 I had built a strong base & added races with hills to start toward my goal of qualifying. Unfortunately, April 1st, I tore my PCL and meniscus requiring surgery. I created this site to track my progress and getting back From zero to 100 miles.
