Throughout my training over the past year and a half I have been
fortunate to stay pretty healthy. That’s
not to say I am immune to the typical soreness or fatigue from training, but when
I think about it I’ve really only had a couple of minor injuries. While it seems like only a minor bump in the
road, this has been my hardest week of serious training yet as I fought my way
through a balky calf. The damage was
done last weekend and could have happened during any of the following:
- Saturday’s 5+ mile jaunt through NYC (complete with dodging and weaving pedestrian traffic, hopping up and down curbs, and a few too many quick direction changes)
- Sunday morning’s super early bike ride to the site of the NYC Triathlon (ridden on my old bike with toe clips and an improper seat height)
- Test running a couple of pairs of kicks on the running store’s treadmill (without so much as even a minor stretch) at pretty high speed
Monday's schedule called for a long run in addition to my swim and after my first step out of bed I knew it wasn't going to happen. I quickly began a rigorous schedule of ice, compression, Arnica, and just about any other treatment method I could think to try. I even pulled out the Aztec Secret - Indian Healing Clay which I was skeptical of at first but has helped me a number of times. The basic premise of the clay is that it increases blood flow and circulation to the area which aids in healing.
My healing efforts paid off and I was able to push through my speed burst run on Tuesday and moved my long run to Friday. The calf seems to be feeling a lot better now but tomorrow's brick workout will put it to the test.
Exceptionally fascinating web journal. Alot of websites I see nowadays don't generally give anything that I'm occupied with, however I'm most definately keen on this one. Recently believed that I would post and let you know. jogos friv gratis 2019

Keep your eye on the sprouting wheatgrass, which should start sprouting within a few days. Once little sprouts start to appear, like below, remove the cover. You should not need to water at any point during this time. If you do, your wheatgrass may be in too much direct light/heat. Also don't over water, because the wheat berries will mold.

Art is important in times of savage destruction because it stands for what is uniquely and indestructibly human; it affirms the values of civilization against the brute force of animal aggression; it is an antithesis of barbarism that evinces the highest standards of beauty and order that humanity is capable of. It is a statement of resistance against chaos.
