.... But it wasn't mine. I'm pretty happy with how (consistently) fast I've been running lately. That and the fact I was a little hungover :P was incentive to help someone else push themselves a little today. One of the ladies in the group has been pretty much on our heels for the past few weeks- and we've been bugging her to run with us. Today, she did, and even thought we were doing 10-and-1's, she kept up, and clocked her first sub-hour 10k! We'll find out Tuesday how sore she is...
Speaking of sore- this week has been pretty light on training, but heavy on the whiplash treatments. Monday and Wednesday were Chiro, Tuesday massage, and Thursday was physio, featuring about 6 needles for muscle release. It was great, I feel awesome now, but if I go back for another treatment, it will be late afternoon instead of mid-day. Even though he taped my back, it sucked to work another 7 hours after! Have you ever tried needling or acupuncture? what did you think? What's the best/worst treatment you've ever done?
Hopefully I won't be working as many long hours this week... We got most of the month-end agility sorted out now, so this week will be catching up on everything else- especially workouts!
PS I Think most of you read her blog anyway, but check out wifey's blog for a more detailed update!

Acupuncture is the bomb! Linda dragged me, feebly kicking and screaming, to my first appointment because of sciatica pain. I could barely walk going it, and while I didn't dance out, I was taking my first almost normal steps. Even with the best massage therapists in the world, I've still gone a couple times to have specific stuff worked on.
ReplyDeleteI can recommend Michaella Rezanoff, Dragonfly Medicines. She works out of the Phoenix fitness facility just south of downtown. # 7 1111 - 3rd St. 403-265-4432. Tell her I sent you.
That was great of you to encourage that woman to a PR. Sore or not, it always feels good to accomplish more then you thought you could.
ReplyDeleteHopefully that whiplash starts getting better quickly!
I'm a big user of acupuncture--have done it for many different reasons over the years. Going this week for a sore ITB!
ReplyDeleteI want a sub-1 hour 10k PR!!! I will take a sub-30 minute PR though.
ReplyDeleteI think it's interesting how your 3 workouts last week generated more laundry than my 6 workouts. Can you explain that please?
I used acupuncture when I was a teen-ager (long time ago) and it worked. Very kind of you to encourage that friend to a PR.
