Notes
20 times a better run comparing to 3 days ago. Chiro Treatment has definitely helped me. First steps and I could feel light already with circulation / energies flowing. I was so desperate to run harder and at start I almost felt as 'an animal released out of its cage to freedom'. I run ... I wanted to feel the running motion again. It was up-hill for first 5 miles and I was very comfortable with legs although my cardio was suffering and I was putting more effort than usual. There is no doubt that I have lost fitness levels with all troubles I had over the last 5 weeks. However, I kept chin up and went on running looking at the breath taking scenery (Green this time not white) and feeling the benefits of the surroundings in fairly strong winds. I reached 5.1 mile at 51:30 and knew that the way back would be faster as I would be running down hill. It was about the 7th mile point that my legs started complaining feeling the gravity and lacking somehow circulation again. I also had to worry about my bunion from the very beginning. It has been recently inflamed and causes me a lot of pain. Lunar Glyde was the most suitable shoe for me today in terms of light pressure on the toes and sides of foot. However, I constantly had to be aware of how I was placing my feet trying to land the right foot on flat grounds so not to hurt the bunion.
So, having a lot in my mind to deal with and reaching the 8th mile point I found myself agonising and slowing down even down hill. My legs / lower part became too rigid and weak to hold body weight and balance. I could feel my upper body not appropriately supported by legs. I lost rhythm and body form whilst at the same time I started cooling down fast due to the cold wind. The physical discomfort intensified by the minute finding myself feeling nausea and gravity. My legs were grounded and I was also feeling deezy. A drastic change I had not anticipated. I made it to the car but what struggle this was!
Now tomorow I will be going for my next Chiro session and more pain.
