Well here I am updating the blog for the first time in several weeks. It has been a a wild ride and now I have an opportunity to talk a little about how my training has been progressing.I only four weeks from my first half and I have finally given into a couple of things that, if they don't kill me can only make me stronger, of these I have decided to start seeing a chricoprtactor after I was given a free consultation. I openly admit that I was worried about these bone crackers making me go snap, crackle, and pop. I am not sure what happened on my first visit, but the magic mirror made me look like Quasimodo before the adjustment - then later pow the magic mirror made me look more like a man. So I agreed to come back for a follow up and I am not sure again what the did, but I felt better this time then the first.
Well I have been spending more time stretching my muscles since the adjustments have caused for me to change my biomechanics. I'm looking forward to my first run tomorrow to see how things are working (here's hoping). I must admit that part of my motivation is to have a great marathon and finish strong and to that end I think a holistic approach that is drug free will make a difference.
Then there is the nutritional changes I am undertaking an example being I'm now taking vitamins, I know "what's the big deal" well the last time I took a vitamin they looked like cartoon characters. Then there's the nutritional changes I have been making in my runs. My half marathon is a stepping stone to my first full marathon. That means I have been debating sports drinks and gel packs and the like. I have not reached a full conclusion yet, so I will wait to talk about that more later.
