16 July 10: Today’s Celebration
Posted on 17. Jul, 2010 by hillarybiscay in Blog | 4 Comments
Today I am celebrating. I don’t want to get too excited just yet, but tonight was time for a small celebration . . . You see, today was a double-bike-ride day, but the its highlight was the little run that followed ride #1. It was the first time in months that I have run off of the bike and actually gone somewhere. Novel concept, right?! I had grown quite accustomed to the uncomfortable sensation of essentially limping along the road, feeling like a wounded animal that needed to be put out of its misery.
Well it turns out that this not-just-normal-tired feeling was most likely caused by an extreme vitamin and mineral deficiency that I managed to develop over the past months (year?) of hard racing and training. Since identifying this problem last week after many, many blood tests, ultrasounds, etc., and embarking on a plan to get these levels back up to normal, that strange and terrible feeling I have had while running has slowly been diminishing. And today, for once, it was finally not there when I jumped off of my bike. Like I said, I hesitate to get too excited just yet, but it was worth a small celebration . . .
Plus we had a little message to create for Belinda, who has a big race this weekend:
In case you can’t read that . . .
GO BELINDA!!
