workouts for 5/19 to 5/25: RACE WEEK!!!!

Sun, 19 May 2013 22:51:43 -0400

so, my race is in 6 days. My leg still hurts. I got in a grand total of 34 miles this week, and now I’m trying to figure out if my tapering week is going to be super -resting my leg by not running at all, or by just doing a few short runs. erg. I don’t know.

Anyway, I’m going to try for a little yoga, and then I don’t know what else. I planned this well.

This week: 34

This month: 56 (wow, I haven’t had a month less that 130 miles in ages)

This year: 613.5

Saturday: Jemez Moutains Trail Run 50k, Los Alamos, NM

New trail today! L.B. Houston

Fri, 17 May 2013 18:16:00 -0400

eta: dorba info

I met up with a friend to run a new (to me) trail in Irving. It’s not very technical, nice and flat with a few roots, but it was CRAZY muddy today. Not sink-up-to-your-ankles mud, but cake-up-a-mile-thick-on-your-shoes mud. A little slippery in places, too. So, it was slow going with careful running and stopping to scrape mud from shoes, which worked out fine since I’m only gently exercising my hamstring right now.

The trail is apparently shared by cyclists, but there weren’t any there while we were running. There were signs for the trails routes and instructions for cyclists, but we entered the trail from a road rather than a trail head, so they meant nothing to me.

It was about 80 degrees at 11am, with 70% humidity, warming up as the afternoon progressed and the cloud cover went away.

Me, over the trinity river on that scary railroad bridge pedestrians aren’t supposed to be on.

look out!!

The bridge to nowhere.

Neat old car. I didn’t know to bring a sticker. :)

It was pretty fun to go for a little trail run in the middle of the week! I can’t wait to get back out there when I don’t have to stop and scrape 2lbs of mud off of each shoe every .25 mile. :)

Here’s the map from my garmin

Wow, this is a big deal!!! Kaiser-Permanente supports plant based diet for health, and disease prevention and reversal.

Thu, 16 May 2013 18:07:00 -0400

WOW! those already vegan, there are some tidbits in here, too, about healthy plant-based eating!

Not sure plant based eating is healthy?? this addresses the common questions about calcium, iron, b12 and protein.

HEREs the publication

Here’s the abstract, to pique your interest. ;) CAUTION: big words ahead.

“The objective of this article is to present to physicians an update on plant-based diets. Concerns about the rising cost of health care are being voiced nationwide, even as unhealthy lifestyles are contributing to the spread of obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. For these reasons, physicians looking for cost-effective interventions to improve health outcomes are becoming more involved in helping their patients adopt healthier lifestyles. Healthy eating may be best achieved with a plant-based diet, which we define as a regimen that encourages whole, plant-based foods and discourages meats, dairy products, and eggs as well as all refined and processed foods. We present a case study as an example of the potential health benefits of such a diet. Research shows that plant-based diets are cost-effective, low-risk interventions that may lower body mass index, blood pressure, HbA1C, and cholesterol levels. They may also reduce the number of medications needed to treat chronic diseases and lower ischemic heart disease mortality rates. Physicians should consider recommending a plant-based diet to all their patients, especially those with high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, or obesity.”
