Its been a few days since i’ve posted, I guess you can say i’m going through ‘blog’-withdrawal. lol Anyway, I started something new in my training this week, its the well known yoga variation called Pilates .. I know, you usually classify this with women, but its not made for just women, it was actually […]
My target heart rate analysis
I got these numbers from www.marathonguide.com … We have calculated your workout zones below. To get the most out of your workout, you should work out in one of the “zones” described below, depending whether your goal is weight loss, an aerobic workout or an anaerobic workout. Zone 1 – Low Intensity zone: 50% – […]
hmm, a heart rate monitor
Since I was stuck inside today on the treadmill, I thought I would check into my Target Heart Rates and all and see where I am coming in. I always questioned my true ‘aerobic’ ability, but never really checked it. I found out that to get into the Aerobic and anaerobic zones, I need to […]
the steamtown show, i’m a celebrity, almost!
Our local TV channel, WNEP-16, was a media sponsor for the Steamtown marathon and ran a half-hour long show on the marathon last night. Of course, I taped it on the DVR because I was out at a hockey game last night with my son, but I got to watch it this morning. I was […]
Achilles feels pretty good … rampin’ up the miles
After two treatments from the chiro for the Achilles tendonitis, the pain seems to be all but gone. I did get out for 8 miles today, kind of easy, but I have no pain afterward … I think I had some phantom pains while I was running, but it never bothered me. I also didn’t […]
what a difference
I made a couple accomplishments yesterday, the first being the return to running. I got 2.1 miles in as just a jog, and it felt pretty good. My groin muscles are considerably sore at this point, but even today they are feeling better. My other accomplishment was the treatment I got for the Achilles tendonitis. […]
whats happening?
I made an appointment today with a doctor (chiro) who is going to perform Active Release Technique (A.R.T) on me for my tendonitis. I have heard alot of about how successful it is in treating soft tissue injuries and the hope is that it takes away any long term effects that I might have. We’ll […]
Still in recovery after Steamtown …
So I was able to get to the doctor last night for my “1000 mile maintenance” .. which is how I referred to it with my doctor (of course he chuckled, I have a cool doctor). Thankfully, nothing major going on, however, I am being treated for a sinus infection, and Achilles tendonitis along with […]
The eve of the race
This will be the last entry prior to the Steamtown Marathon for 2006. Its just about 12 hours until the start of the race, and the pre-race jitters have already started. I don’t expect to sleep much tonight, and have taken all the precautions of hydrate, carbs, stay off my feet, watch what I eat […]
that time is almost here
Its hard to think that 4+ months of work is coming to an end. I’m having a struggle with going two days without running since its the first time i’ve taken consecutive days off since I started. I’m feeling bloated, which I think is good, lots of water and carbs is the recipe right now […]
