Took the 1st off and rested, took the 31st off too. So that kinda follows my pattern of 3-4 days running with 2 back-to-back days of rest.
Weds RUN 4 miles at 10m/m (6.0 mph) at rehab. Felt awesome, and all heart rate numbers look good.
Thurs Dr L appt, only worked on my mid thoracic on the right side along the spine. Lately it's been easily fatigued especially post run days. Some times I wear out just sitting and can feel a light tingly feeling. He described the issue as -- instead of a smooth curve of spine as I twist to the right, that results in a "stair step" effect through the vertebrae, I instead had BIG steps that wasn't smooth. He worked on it, Ouch as usual, and he commented on how someone so little can need such big work, LOL. The whole drive back to lab I could feel it. Hours later, the little tingly appearing after a day at the bench.
Oh, and he said layering on swim and bike is not a good idea yet. Get running to be normal first. Yes, no swimming! haha. Oh, and test the time-on-treadmill to see if running a shorter distance results in less fatigue. This can help differentiate between a muscular fatigue and a form issues. Love me some experiments :) And he also joked that I could do a 5K, as long as I didn't race it. Hahahahaha, right.
Now that it's 2019, I suspected that my insurance co-pay has ended. Sure enough, a call to UHC showed that I'd be paying a copay. That means the Wednesday run probably cost me $50. So I'm graduating myself from rehab, I'll stop in tomorrow morning but not run. See if they have any advice on my ramping up, go from there. Instead of quitting by phone call.
This is Day 3 of the lectin challenge, so far not noting much? But still lots of tummy upset, lots of pepto bismol. No upchucking but sometimes I really want to!
Friday RUN 2x15' for a total of 3 miles. Feeling good, I can feel the difference up to 15 mins. Maybe 10 was becoming a habit? This was all I had time for. Not sleeping great so I slept in.
