Meh training week last week. I ended up taking Monday as a rest day and my sister-in-law unexpectedly came into town, so we did family things Friday night and Saturday afternoon. I had already had plans with my parents Saturday night to go to the velodrome -- my dad had never been, and since he went through a cycling phase when we were little and did a century, I thought he would like it. He did, and we had a lot of fun, but I was ready for a family-free day on Sunday. =) I only managed three trainer rides and a weights video all week but at least it was something.
This week I am unhappily back to PT. My first session was last night and the consensus is that my hamstring isn't torn but just strained and weak (or is that me? haha). So I have yet another batch of strengthening exercises to do and I go back on Friday. I am hoping to start working with a running form coach soon because I'm sure my crappy form from being an adult-onset runner is NOT helping, and maybe she can help me identify weaknesses before they turn into strains so I never have to go back to PT! I like my therapist and the staff there, I am just grouchy that I have to go at all.
I didn't do any pranks this year or get pranked, but I enjoyed seeing the funny stuff on Instagram (although I really would enjoy a pickle-flavored Huma gel). A few years ago I filled a donut box with broccoli and I got quite a few angry reactions. Apparently people have strong feelings about broccoli. XD
Dr. T and Dr_C, awesome training! Good luck at your 10-miler, Dr_C! And awesome building back up to all that running with no pain, SoCal.
Newb, hope you are feeling better and the trial doesn't last all week. It's so frustrating to get into a groove and then life gets in the way.
Scheherazade, sometimes you just need a rest day. Glad your car was fixed and that it wasn't worse.
Anna, good luck with the niggle and the daughter!
