swbkrun Mentor Group II- CLOSED FOR BUSINESS!!! (Page 39)

sdalessio - 2010-11-05 7:36 AM Hi gang - Happy Friday!

My day has started off well.  I signed myself up for some torture at our local hospital - a full cholestrol screening and body fat analysis.  Now we all know I'm a wee bit neurotic about my weight - ok maybe a lot.  So going to have my body fat done was not on the top of my list of favorite things and I hate needles.

But to my surprise my cholestrol was 191 - WOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOO!  Down 35 pts. from my physical 4 years ago when I was just getting into all this crazy endurance stuff.  One good numer was so low that is didn't even register on the charts.

And my body fat .....................  20%!  Another WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO.  Now I know this number may not be great for some but all BMI charts put me at 25% and I guarantee that is a lot lower than 4 yrs. ago.  And it's nice to see things like healthy  and excellent next to your test results.  So I guess all this training does pay off.

Now I just need to figure out my abnormally low metabolism.  Grrr!  I guess not a big deal but it means I can't eat as much and this a BIG DEAL!!!!!!

Good luck racers and I hope everyone has a great weekend!

SSMinnow - 2010-11-03 7:12 AM Gosh, another week is flying by....who has some race plans to tell us about????

And if you don't how about telling us about a habit you are changing or trying to develop to make you better than ever?

sdalessio - 2010-11-05 10:09 AM Thanks everyone!!!!   

This may be my best result of the year!  It kind of makes all the early hours and I'd rather be on the couch times worth it.

DougRob - 2010-11-05 11:52 AM Just got back from my 2nd PT session. She got my hip aligned this visit. She thought it would take 3 or 4. MY left leg is about 1/2 inch shorter than my right.

She then had me do a balance test. I stood on one leg on a Bonsu (Sic) ball and then bent my knee. Talk about humbling! My leg was shaking! Turns out my instablity is from my feet and ankles (Surprise NOT) and I have god strngth in my hips. She gave me an exercise to do every other day for 5-10 reps a shot. There a PITA literally. I also asked if I should continue to do the exercises she gave me last time. Her answer: "For the rest of your life." (sigh)

Anyway I am only allowed to run very limited amounts for now. Basically 2 minute intervals for a mile. We'll reevaluate at my next session. I envy all of you that get to run now.

Awesome news Sam!  That's so great to hear!

fattyfatfat - 2010-11-06 10:06 AM morning peeps.  dns for me.  while i've been pumped for this race i've also been a little concerned with im training in full swing.  the course is very rocky.  we've had a bunch of rain the past few days then last night temps got into the mid 20's.  it very well could be muddy, rocky and some ice early in the race.  i went out to the site picked up my packet went back to the truck and thought this is f'ing stupid.  sent the minnow a message telling her i'm not racing so she'd stop harassing me, gave my t-shirt away and turned in my chip. 

i'm also having stomach issues, you know when you have to sit on the potty for 1/2 hour at a time.  i didn't feel like pulling a kim out on the course today.  i left the race site and went down to my favorite running spot.  a mile in i felt like it was about to come out both ends.  called it a day. 


now, more important stuff... looks like julia is well on her way with an 8:25 pace through the first 10k.   ROCK ON HIPPIE!!!!!
