EN OS, Week 5
Not much to report.
Tons of stuff to do this past week, above and beyond workouts. Got those done, and then some. Got to babysit a friend’s
toddler. Forgot how easily
distracted they are and how little their legs are. Still, it was fun to hang out with her for a couple of
hours. Did another time trial on
Sunday after my 12-mile run. This
one was a 10-miler and uphill for the first half. I got inside my box and kept repeating my mantra word of the
day. I wasn’t as fast as I was for
the 4-mile time trial, but I felt better going up the hills.
Saturday was a reverse duathlon – rode on the trainer for my
OS ride, did my transition run on the treadmill and then headed outside to
catch a quick ride w/friends. It
was very windy and a bit chilly.
No matter; I was very warmed up by then. Usually, I’m the one bundled up, but on Saturday, I was in
the minority wearing only long-sleeved shirt and shorts. Almost everyone else had on long bibs
and a wind breaker. I paid for it
when I got home. I’ve been typically
getting so cold I shiver uncontrollably if I don’t get in the shower very
shortly after I’m done with my workouts.
Not sure why. Saturday,
after I got home, I got in the shower pretty quickly, but my foot suddenly
turned white and went numb. Seriously!
By Sunday night, I was soooo ready for the rest on
Monday. Yeah, right. So much for my rest day. We got up early to take our son to get
dropped off for his field trip to Space Camp and then took the littlest out to
breakfast. Too bad for the oldest
as she was already at school.
Monday was Girl Scout cookie pick up and then a regularly scheduled
oncology appointment. Dr. B says
I’m doing fine. He had no words of
advice regarding my weird chills and numb foot. I was a little put out. All he did was check my pulses in my arms and feet. He told me they were all “strong”. Joe says he just doesn’t know what to
make of me – endurance athlete-cancer survivor.
That’s it. Like
I said, nothing much to report.
