Scary Times
Halloween is fun!
Finally, after a tough couple weeks, my IT band is getting better. My method? Roll, Ice, Advil, Massage, Repeat.
Chainsaw Dave was off for a couple weeks putting together his annual haunted house, so in the meantime, the massage part was played by Chris, the massage therapist who comes to our track workouts. He does good work, but it's usually a short massage since others are always waiting. So this week, Dave got back. OUCH! In an hour-long massage, he spent about 40 minutes on my right leg.
Training has been going fairly well. I went for a ride with the IronTeam last weekend. It was my first ride in many months, and boy could I tell. I'm definitely getting better with running, but my cycling has suffered. I might need to add a ride or two just to keep myself balanced.
In the last few months, with the hectic schedule of staring a new IronTeam, training for a marathon, and working full time - as well as the large amounts of junk food around at work, I've seen my weight creep in the wrong direction. It's not out of hand, but I had hoped to be a few pounds lighter for the marathon. So, for November, I'm going to work on getting that weight back down. At this weight, it's pretty easy for me to lose 5 lbs, by just watching what I eat and being consistent in my training. I've got just under 6 weeks to get to fighting weight... Oh yeah, in the middle there's this thing called Thanksgiving... Scary.
