Runner's support and Accountability

@starbee thanks! I will start to do that!

@eeyorepoohfan Makes total sense but I was a Dumbo and didn’t think about that! I didn’t get my adjustment today, I woke up at 2am with severe abdominal pain and cramps. It hurt to lie down and sit up. Then this morning I started throwing up and that continued into this afternoon. I went to the doctor and he thinks it’s gastritis which I had when I was 18 and this does feel the exact same. I called the chiro to reschedule and the receptionist was like “We do encourage you to still get an adjustment even if you’re sick, so long as you’re not throwing up or have diarrhea, because it boosts the immune system”. I told her that unfortunately I had both those things hopefully she doesn’t think I’m making that up and being super flaky. I’ve rescheduled it to Thursday to make sure I’m over it and don’t have to reschedule a second time.

@starbee Sometimes we don’t think of the obvious!! I am so so sorry you came down with the GI issue!! That really sucks!!!! I’m glad you were able to reschedule for Thursday. You should be over the bug by then for sure. And yes, adjustments do boost your immune system but never want people in with your symptoms! It spreads way to easily! But we also ask all contagious illness people to stay home and not come in as well. I’m sure they don’t think you are making it up. Most people won’t lie about having those symptoms. Feel better!! Lots of rest and fluids when you can!!!! Praying you feel better quickly!!!!

Well, I’ll start by saying I ran my 5K for the virtual Pixie Challenge yesterday afternoon. I’m one of those people that will not run in any weather (particularly cold and wet….which it has been around here for months). I didn’t do too bad. I completed in 45:02.

I also was invited to do the Food & Wine Half. I really wanted to do it even though I was worried about pace. However, I know if I have a friend or rabbit, I’m usually good to go. My goodness, the registration fee floored me! I didn’t know the RunDisney races were that much. And I will have the toddler (who just turned 2), so it won’t work out anyway. But I am planning to go that weekend, indulge on F&W Festival kiosks, and cheer on my friends running the half.

Hope you all had a good day yesterday before this new round of snow hits.

@bexruns Congratulations on finishing your 4th LA Marathon!!!!! That is simply amazing!!!!! Way to go!! I’m sorry you were dealing with knee pain and that hamstring. I could see some rough stretches on your check-ins, but then you managed to pick up the pace too! I rocked out the end of that race! I think your finish time was simply amazing!!! And you may be slightly insane for already being ready to run it again!! I’m so stinking proud of you!!!!!!!!!!

The longer stretches for the check ins honestly was bathroom stops. At one point at the very first one me and like 5 other people were getting really irritated because people were taking FOREVER. You know we are ALL running a marathon right now, right? Wrap it up!

@ figmentchick congrats on the 5K


Completing a 5K is my next goal!!!

@bexruns congrats on completing ANOTHER marathon!

AWESOME!
