Post race injury report ;)

The chest is great :)  I had Anna rub me down good after the race.  I am thinking that this is the source of the chest conspiracy.  I also think that the chest problems yesterday were partially due to the rain.  I have been wearing only one sports bra lately. This has been fine, but when when bra gets wet, all of it's support is lost.  I think that some of the pain/discomfort was exacerbated by lack of adequate restraint ;)

Now for the knee.  Yesterday there was some latent, residual pain.  Today the ITB and surrounding knee is TICKED OFF!!  I am icing it.  I'll roll and scrape later.

And for the fun random weird thing.  I woke up this morning with my face all swollen.  FUN!  I have been itching like crazy and I guess I am allergic to something.  I thought it was this med the doc gave me, but I have been off of it for 3 days.  Who knows.  I look totally stupid!

Two slow miles.  All the parts complained here and there.  I just focused on running "normally" and relaxing.  Nothing really hurt, just squawking ;)  When I got home I did 65 minutes of yoga, sort of an Ashtanga/Vinyasa flow.  Very slow and restorative.  It felt REALLY good.

I went to the doc for my rash.  He has a few theories.  For now he is treating my severe discomfort with prednisone.  He gave me a shot in the office and then a prescription for the next 12 days.  The assumption is that I am having a really good allergic reaction to something.  I pretty much want to scratch my face and ears off, along with parts of my chest and legs.  He wants to see me in 3-4 weeks and run some more tests.  I'm not sure I want to.  We shall see :)  He said the shot would take the itch away in 60 minutes.  It has been 5 hours and I am still ITCHY!  He said I could double up on the Zyrtec.  I am going to do that right now :)

3 slow miles on the treadmill. 65 minutes yoga.  I am itching considerably less today :)  The rashes are even looking better.  The two Zyrtec I took last night, knocked me out pretty good :)  I like that.  The Prednisone gave me a bit of energy in the house cleaning arena this morning :)  Whoo hoo!!

ps- There was a lot less complaining of body parts on the run today :)  It would have felt really good, if I had not been on the treadmill ;D

4 miles with KimR.  10:38mm ave.  It was so nice to run outside with Kim :)

65 min Kundalini Yoga.  Focus: Energize, Create & Inspire, Self Empowerment, Ailment Specific, Metabolism & Digestion, Stress Relief, Full Body, Twists, Chakras

It was a weird class, but it made me feel great :)

I am going to be taking the next 8 weeks really slow and easy.  I am in some kind of immune system frenzie and need to relax a bit and give my body a chance to calm down.  I am really looking forward to it!

six slow miles. 1:06.  The weather was perfect!  The whole run would have been PERFECT, except I wore a new running skirt and BOY WAS THERE SOME CHAFING :(:::::::  Live and learn ;)

I'll do some yoga in a bit.  I should go out and weed, but I am feeling lazy ;)  I wish I had remembered to buy some pita chips at Costco.  I am feeling the need for hummus and pita chips....although, I'd just eat WAY too much!
