*Mid-Week Update* - Week 4

Hello everyone...

It is now Tuesday night and I ran 3 miles yesterday UP AND DOWN HILLS with no knee brace. My legs were really tanked....these orthos. Uuugh.

I just got home from acupuncture and thought I would drop a quick line in here to give you the latest and greatest because I also heard from my running specialist today regarding my new ortho inserts. Here is his response:

"The orthotics do change the way your feet interface with the ground and cause muscles that were previously underworking to possibly work harder. Listen to your body. If it needs more rest/recovery then let it recover even if that means missing a short run."

So - that being said, my wonderful Lac (Licensed Acupuncturist) has taken that information and added some proactive work to my hips and glutes. Should work out nicely. Mooove that Chi.
:-)

ALSO - and this was a pleasant surprise - I heard back from my Nutritionist today and she is compiling my menu for the next few weeks. Strictly fuel and weight loss here...gotta hit that 240 pound mark by race day or the knees will be crying.

Thats it for now.... Hasta.

-Bill
