I have a sore throat – I’m guessing it’s because of all the allergy drainage. I can’t run more than a half-mile without spitting. Gross, I know, but better than swallowing. (Rich I’m sorry I spit so much during the 20k and David I’ll probably spit in Chicago.)
My left ankle hurts. It’s not swollen but it is achy – not a lot, but enough. I’m blaming downhill running and sprinting on concrete. How is it possible to still have remnants of this injury from February? Ice, ice, baby.
I haven’t done anything today but type Kenza’s science project, have a short meeting with a customer, and eat lunch with Michael. I’ll think I’ll watch the presidential debate tonight and let Michael cook me dinner.
I have a 20-mile run planned with Massoman on Sunday. It’s gonna be an easy, easy run.
I still don’t know what I’m going to wear in Chicago. Or during the marathon. That’s totally not like me. I need to get planning because I’m starting to panic.
I’m pissed because I’ve gained five pounds over the last two weeks. Yeah, that’s what training like an animal gets ya. I guess that fork-to-mouth disease is bad too.
Muscle mass maybe?
As much working out as you have been doing I would imagine your metabolism is screaming “feed me” all the time.
Weird that you have gained weight training for a marathon…
oh don’t be a spitter. I HATE running spitters. Ok, you’re allowed you’re sick. Just got over a bout of that myself. Good luck with the 20!
Sorry to point out the obvious, but for the record spitting is NOT better than swallowing. Then again I COULD be biased. Might I suggest a survey?
As long as you are not spitting into the wind cuz then i would have to say I would not want to run behind you.
SwTriGirl had the same 5 pound lament and she was assured that you are storing glygocen and it holds on to water molecules so you are fine. You look great so quit worrying about it but DO work on your outfit. You don’t want to be caught short on look fahbulous, dahlink!
As for spit – I blow snot rockets. So shoot me! I make sure no one is around but I like being able to get air.
Let me know you need help with the weather before you head to Chicago. I am hoping for great weather for everyone. It’s been so beautiful lately…perfect running weather.
OK…the whole spitting/swallowing thing makes me laugh…
Is that wrong?
Maybe the concrete wasn’t the greatest idea, although it did make for great photographs.
Susan, your legs are on fire!
