Looks like posting is becoming a weekly, instead of a daily, thing. I guess if we blogged for a living, we'd be much better at this! The run down so far:
Wed: Ran 4-5mi
Thurs: Biked 45min
Fri: Rested...we had an Olympic themed potluck! 2nd to last early morning yoga teaching for Court.
Sat: Ran 8mi (average pace 8:20/mi) , Swam 1500m
Sun: Biked 45minMon: REST!
Tues (TODAY!): Swam 2000m, Biked 90min
It's only been 6 weeks and we're already tired of training. What did we get ourselves into?? But luckily for us, we don't quit things very easily. Once were able to get some warmer days training will be much more enjoyable. But for now, let's have an injury report:
I'm holding up just ok. I've had left knee pain and anterior tibialis pain in the past (marathons...you know how it goes) and it seems to be creeping up on me again. I've self diagnosed and I've come up with a grade 1 L medial meniscus tear and an inflamed peroneal/fibular nerve. Nothing big. The newest pain I have is in my right hip. Based on what we've just learned in school (literally, these past 2 weeks), I've decided that it's R greater trochanteric bursitis. Also not a big deal. Technically, I'm supposed to rest, ice, and take NSAIDs since it's in the acute stage. But it's not so painful to make me stop, so...I'm just going to ignore it. Besides, "pain is nothing compared to what it feels like to quit" (esp since I've spent so much $$ on this thing!!!).
Court- No injuries to report yet (knock on wood). When we get into the trenches of training I will use Rocktape on my right knee as a preventative measure. Rocktape is incredible, not only does it come in cool colors, but it stays on my incredible sweaty skin (I sweat like a man, but I've accepted it). It worked wonders for my patellofemorral syndrome during marathon training. In a future post K and I will talk about our different methods of taping.
Until next time, enjoy the Olympics, send us all your energy (we need it).
