Ghoulie eliptical v ST November challenge (Page 15)

aspeelma - 2009-11-05 5:07 AM

Don't worry about it, I'm up at the crack of stupid every day!

I was beat last night. I had a horrible run. 3+ miles, should have done some sprints in there, I had no legs, no legs at all. I'm not sure if it was because I was messing with my diet yesterday, or because I ran pretty hard on Tuesday, maybe a combination of both. I have 5ish miles planned tonight, I sure hope it goes better.

I was in bed by 8:30 last night. My son was up longer than I was. I hope my husband put him to bed, I don't know. He wasn't asleep in the living room when I left the house this morning so I'm going to take that as a good sign.

Have a great day Ghoulies!!!

glad someone else is UP in the VILLAGE.  MORNING ANN.

sorry bout your horrible run.  ive had my share of legless runs too. 

i sure hope your 5 miler goes better for ya tonight.

what have you been messin' w, with your diet?  do you follow a plan of any sort?  its amazing the impact our nutrition has on our training.  ive learned the 'hard' way.

from the sounds of it, your DH took care of business last night....putting the kids to bed is my DHs 'job' everynight, thankfully.

i dont even remember hearing them going to bed, i was THAT crashed.

heading to work?

aspeelma - 2009-11-05 5:28 AM I know I can't sustain my current lifestyle, especially since I'm increasing my workload with my diet listed above. I have just hit a big spurt of I don't like food.

I did pick up some bananas and sliced them up and froze them last night. I am going to try putting some in a smoothie. I also got some fruit yogurt to try with a smoothie.

Backstory --> I was allergic to EVERYTHING as a baby. I didn't start eating solid foods until I was 3. My pediatrician told my parents I would be a picky eater because of that, I never learned to eat textures.  He was right.

I just cannot eat mushy foods like pasta or applesauce. Textures and some tastes are horrible for me.

Anyone have any suggestions.

aspeelma - 2009-11-05 6:09 AM Question for the Ghoulies?

I want to order my wetsuit this weekend. Full or sleeveless?

skrtrnr - 2009-11-05 7:19 AM

oh man ANN.  thats some backstory, and to consider what you do and your diet, id say that you've been make the most of what you've been 'given'.

my oldest son has numerous food aversions, and we actually took him to PT for a 'functional feeding' program when he was  in 1st-2nd grade to try and help him work through some his aversions.  his is textures and tastes as well.  he'd BARF all the time

....im wondering.  maybe they have something similiar for adults.  might be worth looking into.  its actually a Physical Therapist that worked w him even though it wasnt necessarily a 'physical issue'  ie he didnt have trouble chewing or swallowing.

they just introduced small amts of food, in tolerable quantities and over time he was able to add 1-2-3 new things to his diet, which for him was HUGE.

are you STILL allergic?  or is it an 'association'?


and i know this might sound 'whack' but im wondering if accupunture or hypnosis might help.  i know they're non-traditional therapies and not for everyone, but....who knows, there might be some way they could help.

theres such a history there, lots to overcome, but im sure with your 'hutzpah' not impossible.

wgraves7582 - 2009-11-05 7:36 AM Chiro pulled all of my activity from me last night - walking, riding, running.  Only elliptical, upper body weights, aqua jogging, and swimming with PB only.

This is until 11/30.

So now I have to figure out how to volunteer for the Turkey Trot that I always run in and maybe a cross race next weekend.  This stinks!!!!

Oh well better now than the summer right.

He said I am still good for a marathon training program as long as the ITB stops flaring up!
