Week 5 Phase 1

Week 5- 21-27 September 45e/Saturday long run:55e
(137.5lbs*39.5*33*36.5)

Monday: 45e / no run
Sick. Not feeling well, which sucks and puts me back a little. Its not bad, just a bit under the weather.

Tuesday: 45e / no run
Sick. lame. oh well, this comes and goes throughout our lives. so hope to be doing better later this week. So much going on, I really don't have time to be sick... but if I don't take the time to recoup then I'll pay for it later. soooooooo .....

Wednesday: sundown. San Diego 45e
Ran today. YEAH! Feeling better. I did the grandma shuffle today, I think 12 minute miles? lame. but at least I got out and moved my body. Weighed myself yesterday but stupidly did it after lunch and after I drank a lot.. so I doubt it was accurate. It said that I was 140lbs. okay now that's just annoying. so I'm weighing myself tomorrow or Friday and measuring then too.
So as of now, I gained back almost all the weight I have previously lost. Might have to lay off the ho-hos. hahahhaha :]

Thursday: 45e/ no run
Weighed myself today.. okay so I'm not 140lbs..thank goodness! I am at 137.5lbs. Not ideal but making small progress. Being sick didn't help any. bummer. We'll see how this weekend goes.
So I felt fine until about 2p and I was scheduled to run at 5p. I had a slight headache, well- the beginnings of a migraine.. and I thought that going to the Chiropractor would help out, which it did. It didn't get into a full-blown migraine, but I am still dealing with some of the rest of the symptoms of a migraine. boo on today. I was super stoked to run, had a great place and everything. Too bad I'm hiding from light in the bedroom hoping to be able to see clearly again and have my head stop pounding! aagggrrr. Its been awhile since my last migraine, so can't complain. And getting adjusted did help a lot. So instead of being in major pain for 24-30hours, I instead get a much shorter sentence but still have the nausea, blurred vision and head ache [and a temp]. It should be gone by morning. thank goodness. So tomorrow's run should be good :)
[Thought I'd write todays blog because tomorrow is hectic, otherwise it might not get done]

Friday: 45e
Still sick. No run

Saturday:Race day. 5k and total time 55e
POA- Take it slow and conservative. Enjoy the course and experience. Ran the race and included enough time to add up to 55 minutes. See post about race for details.
