Discovered last week that my tight hips/angry IT band/back pain etc are being caused by my calf (thanks massage therapist!). Now working on that. Had my last swim clinic and worked on open water stuff - it was good practice but reminded me that I have a loooong way to go. I get super anxious when everyone is swimming around me.

It was super nice out on Sunday so I got to bike OUTSIDE! It was super windy on the way out and smooth sailing on the way back, such a glorious day.


Bonus - What's your last H&F purchase? Anything you're saving up for right now?
I bought a pair of cold weather tights that I ended up sending back because they didn't fit. Right now I am saving/shopping for a wetsuit.

I only wanted 4 miles last thurs but my running group runs in an old run down mental hospital, mostly abandoned buildings. It's so haunted. Why do they do this! I know it's bc it's the only safe course near the running store. I have a really, really hard time with it. It's dark and there are ghosts everywhere. There are also still patients around too. It connects to a light security prison as well. The ladies I ran with went for 8 and the whole time I was like...SHIT I can't run back by myself, so.......so I did 8. I was hungry.


Any AW's or brags? We want to know!
Not really


Bonus - What's your last H&F purchase? Anything you're saving up for right now? Tomorrow I plan to buy new shoes during a staff meeting. I buy out of season 361 degrees through rogans online. Also! I bought Aftershokz! I bought the titanium but they were way too big so I returned them and got the titanium mini. It's only a 6 hour battery life though and my ultra will take me 8-9 hours,

[campermom]

Oh no! sadlebred, I am so sorry to hear this. I know how important being active is to you. I'm sorry.

I'm job searching right now and it's exhausting! I'm guessing we're a week or two away from schools closing and teleworking. Ugh...not looking forward to that. No idea what we are going to do for spring break. We're supposed to go to FL. 



Any AW's or brags? We want to know!
I had a really solid swim yesterday. All my drills, practice, and lessons are starting to come together. I'm excited.

Also I did the Sheetz to Sheetz run on Saturday. It was 14 miles from one Sheetz to another and the longest distance I've done since my 50 miler. It was an untimed race that was on a rail trail, but I came in second female so that was kind of cool. I didn't get anything for it. But the race gave away Sheetz travel mugs and free Sheetz sandwich. Overall I enjoyed it. 


Bonus - What's your last H&F purchase? Anything you're saving up for right now? I spent some money on a bike fitting and a new saddle. Nothing too exciting. Someday I'm going to get a new bike, but I'm still a little ways away from that happening.

Any AW's or brags? We want to know!

Bonus - What's your last H&F purchase? Anything you're saving up for right now?

Wait what? I would not want to run by myself in that situation either....

I'm concerned my spring races will be canceled. THEY SHOULD BE, but I would like to know now so I can stop hard core training. I'm tired. I know, #firstworldproblem.


Any AW's or brags? We want to know!
Eh, not so much this week.


Bonus - What's your last H&F purchase? Anything you're saving up for right now?
I desperately need a new gym bag. I'm currently using my Lo & Son's OG bag, which is perfect for this, but I really need it to go back to being my work travel bag. And I don't want to spend over $200 for another one. Any one have one they want to recommend?

[lilypad1126]

sadlebred, I'm so sorry you are struggling with your health right now. I hope you get things figured out soon.

[sadlebred]

Thanks, ya'll! I have been diagnosed with myocarditis, inflammation of the heart muscle. The GOOD news is that there is no damage to the heart. My cardiologist suspects it is viral although the virus is usually long gone by the time myocarditis is diagnosed. I'm off the bike for at least 3 months and probably will not have a race season. My cycling team has been great and very understanding. I'm limited to walking as much as I want, yoga, tai chi, and similar things.

I am looking into riding horses again as well. I miss my bikes....

[vcubergirl]

sadlebred, I'm so sorry. I know that has to be super frustrating! I hope you can get back to cycling sooner rather than later.

Late entry...
Well I WAS training for RNR DC Half. It's cancelled. So I guess I'm now training for...uhh...a century in May? Assuming that still happens. Im planning to finish the half training plan and just run the distance with friends. Such small potatoes in the grand scheme but I'm bummed. It was my first real half.

M-rest
Tues- ran 4
Wed- plan said 8. Still haven't figured out how to do that on a weekday morning so 5.
Thurs- bike tonight
Fri- rest
Sat- run 5,swim
Sun- run 11, swim mini-clinic

Sad I don't get to do my race.
Looking forward to the swim lesson thing on sunday- it's a video swim eval/minilesson with my little tri-crew (h, mama, tribestie, CrossFit friend). A little nervous to see myself swimming. I fear it'll be like listening to myself on a recording.

And it's a group of less than 25 in a place full of chlorine so no covid19 cancellation risk!


sadlebred I hope you rest as hard as you train and your heart is as good as new soon.

Riding horses would be a nice consolation prize!

campermom WHO RUNS THROUGH SOMETHING SO CREEPY!! I love how matter of fact you were. There's ghosts everywhere. Also a prison. And some patients still?

Is this an actual horror movie?

[mrshandy]

I'm so sorry to hear that sadlebred! Hugs and hair pats to you as you adjust to this new normal. We're here if you need to vent, scream, cry, talk it out, whatever.

I know! I grew up here and when we would be outside in PE we would get called in because there was an escaped patient. Or if there was helicopters we knew someone got out. It’s mostly not functional now which makes it terrifying. My group said they run and I was like...w..t...f ok? I’ll join you? But don’t leave me!

My grandmother was a nurse there so I pray she looks over me. But there are secret underground tunnels!!!!! Check out my run from last Thurs and you’ll see
