As you can see I haven't posted in a while. Some of it was due to a really bad winter that didn't let me train in the great outdoors ( I hate running on a treadmill). So when spring came to Canada I started to train with a group (couch to 5k) which was great. It got me going and started to get my cardio back. Unfortunately, I was hit by cold that sidelined me for a month and work got in the way. Soon I get better and then I start to play baseball and get this horrible charley horse in my quad. It hurt to walk, stretch, or even run. What is a girl to do?
PHYSIO....I can honestly say I didn't really know how many muscles connect to each other to run. Turns out I had a tight quad and back muscles which seized up and had to get dry needling. I hate needles for the flu shot and here I am laying on the table to "release" the muscle all the way up to my back. I started to feel like a voodoo doll but it worked. So I started running slowly again with the dream to run a Marathon in October (2 months to train from zero to 26.2 miles). I ran every day I could on holidays, even on days that I sat in a car driving for 10 to 12 hours.
Well, don't I get injured again. I know have a really tight calf that only hurts after running 10 minutes but goes away after 20 minutes running if I push through. I have tried rolling (painful if you have to do it on yourself), stretching, acupuncture, and massage. Still not going away. So again, I have relapsed and the dream of running a marathon this weekend has gone away. I am sitting here disappointed and trying to get back into running. What is a person to do? Most people get the message that maybe running is not your sport and to give up. NOT ME. I got into the Nike San Francisco run so I can't give up and I like running so I will put on my running shoes and get on the road and run, run, run....
