| Location: Draper,UT,USA Member Since: Nov 08, 2008 Gender: Female Goal Type: Age Division Winner Running Accomplishments: Age group winner in 5k races my first year of running in 2001. Age group winner at Hobblecreek in 2005. Began triathlons in 2006, Won 7 age group races in the sprint distance. 2007 moved up to Olympic distance and received 1st, 2nd, 3rd age group placings. One 3rd overall placing. Love racing. But am injury prone. Moved back to running races due to time constraints with triathlon racing, and also to spend time with my sister, Julie Gomez, who is inspiring to me! Her running group is awesome and a group of high quality people. Spending time with them adds a quality to my training that I have not experienced before. It is refreshing.
Short-Term Running Goals: Would like to run a 3:15 marathon without injuries. Will try to do this by cross training (swim, bike, run). Was on track to do this in 2005 and got stress fractures in both legs. Want to run 2008 Hobblecreek in 1:30. Favorite Blogs: |

Woke up at 4:30am. Ate, then rolled my IT band and glutes with the foam roller and tennis ball. Am really liking my IT band support band. Did the 5:30 spin class at Lifetime. Asked the instructor to check my bike set up to make sure it looked right, and he tried, but I could tell from the professional bike fits I've had with my road bike, that he didn't have a clue what he was doing. So I adjusted it the best I could (30 degree bend when straight and knee over the ball of my toes). Class was good. I felt really good. Only felt a few twinges in my knees. Did some lower body weights and core today. Have had good energy today. Went and had acupuncture and a back adjustment done by my chiro. He focused on my glute and the top of my IT band. It's been a while since I've seen him.

Woke up at 5:30am. Had a break this morning at 8:00 so ran on the treadmill for 30 minutes keeping my HR at 165 at about 8:30-8:45 pace--felt easy. But towards the end of the the 30 minutes started to feel an ache in my IT band by my knee again, so didn't want to push through it so got on the elliptical. That didn't bother my leg, so I did that for another 30 minutes. Then did a bicep/tricep workout. Have felt like my body is trying to fight off a bug since Sunday. One of my clients came sick today. Hope I can keep it from escalating. I will try to go to bed early since I have to get up at 4:30am. Bought an IT Band velcro wrap for my leg to see if it helps. I foam roll my legs a few times a day. Am getting a deep tissue massage on Thursday. Will try spinning again tomorrow, run Thursday, spin or swim on Friday, and run longer on Saturday and see how my leg and immune system holds up.

Mon, Nov 10, 2008 | | Running Miles | Swimming Yards | Bike Miles | | 0.00 | 1550.00 | 0.00 | Woke up at 5:00am and worked till noon, then went and swam at the Treehouse for an hour. Worked on drills then did 16x50 yards (47 sec), with 25 yards backstroke between each. Focused on technique. Felt good. Legs (mostly quads and shins) still sore, but haven't felt any pain on the side of my knee from IT band. Massaged them well yesterday, which must have helped. What a relief! |

Sun, Nov 09, 2008 | | Running Miles | Swimming Yards | Bike Miles | | 0.00 | 0.00 | 0.00 | Rest day. Quads are sore from the race yesterday! Little sore all over my legs, but mostly quads. Still feel an ache in my IT band by my knee (off and on). Will bike easy this week, and avoid the stair stepper, and run easy to see if I can get it to calm down. Was tired today, and took a 30 minute nap which is rare that I could fit one in. But glad I did. Slept good last night. |
