Brick, Dr L, JH. Busy day

BIKE 55 mins indoors, 13-14 miles?
RUN 1.6 miles of 2.5 total
BIKE COMMUTE 2 miles

Yeah, I still log the 2 miles. I'm not even sure it is 2 miles....check...2.2 maybe. Close enough.

"Week 3, Preseason 1" training continues from the iron distance training plan. I like the structure, so I keep doing it. But I'm not signed up for anything, so it's kinda weird. Mostly that I'm so dang motivated to just do something, yet I need the structure and prompting even though I love doing it.

Today's bike was 8 mins 75%, 2 mins rest, 2 mins 84%, 8 mins rest, twice through for 40 mins of "work". Then off to the run, where I realized that I'm pushing my elbows out when I run with the 'new form' of pushing down and back (see weekend summary post).

Then hurry scurry walk, shower, leave for Dr L appt. My neck didn't want to turn right, sure enough 90-something on left and 70 degrees rotation on right. Lower back minor tweeks, hip maintained from last Thursday. Words used included "awful terrible". Hahahaha I do my best. I asked what he feels when he touches my neck and says awful, he described the adhesions. Not sure I can replicate here -- but a difference between sides, a build up of "putty", a lack of ability to feel the structures that are covered. He finds it so fast. I can't even imagine that I feel the adhesions when I try.

I walked out with a mild headache, neck pain, and a touch of dizzy nausea.

Off to JH, where I double-thumbs-up my Sunday run, asked a few questions, discussed Dr L, and got more bonding time with my yoga ball :)  The single leg squat he's had me doing is getting easier.

I noted in my symptoms log chart that the day following a session with JH tends to have a higher score, but I also run on those days too. Confounds the result.

Things to think on for next run -- have my chest up not slumped forward, elbows/arms with quick movement (there's a lot of motion that can derive from the arm swim).

Dr L and JH are going to connect and update each other on progress. Dr L suggested strength building for neck/upper back issue. JH wants to know his feeling on hip progress. Perfect way to start the month of May!

May bullet journal theme is butterflies -- can't have butterflies without change.
