My favorite river woods loop. It took me 70 minutes to do this. I ran 9 minutes, then walked 1. My hamstring is ruined. Even after all these months of rehab, plasma surgery, stretching, elliptical work out and strenght training. It's fried. Whenever I tried to put a little speed in it, I felt like my leg would hit the ground and give out. That hip ligament tear has been weird. The only thing I notice now is when I go down stairs or jump off a rock, any forceful step down--will cause my leg to collapse. So while I'm running, I'm afraid that if I hit my foot wrong, I'm going down. Good news is, doing intervals on the elliptical have kept my cardio vascular health in great shape. I walk now probably 25 miles a week on top of really intense interval elliptical work outs. I think I've got the hypoglycemia under control: but I've also given up meat and milk and caffine. I'd like to give up sugar too. So the intense weakness could have been one of those things too. I don't know. The endocrinologist wants me to have my gall bladder out. She says that's what's making me so sick. But now I don't eat milk or very much meat, I feel better. Anyway, so good to get outside and give running/wogging a small try. Beautiful early June morning. |
