Sore No More—Really!

This time it’s for real… I am back! My 7-day forced abstinence from running is officially over. I am healed!

with Annie 112407

- Annie and I after our run. We look so poised! You wouldn’t believe that we were laughing like noisy high school girls before this shot. It was a happy happy day. –

I ran 7.7 km at Ayala Alabang today at a conservative 6.22 pace and there was absolutely no pain. None whatsoever! Not even a hint of a tiny popping sound from the smallest cartilage of my left knee.  Woohoo!

Good riddance knee injury! Don’t you dare come back!

  2. Hinay-hinay na lang, darling.

    I was running with dad this afternoon. He mentioned that he also has a meniscus problem — right knee, to be exact. I shared that I have a friend –you!– with the same problem. Ang suggestion niya sayo, strengthen your thighs. Like go cycling or work them out. Squats help. :-)

  3. P.S. I got “chicked” by a fast mommy at my race yesterday. Passed me before the halfway point. The only time I passed her again was when she had to use the bathroom, she then ran me down again. She came up after the race and we laughed about it after introductions. DARN THE FAST MOMMIES!!!

    Thought you’d be amused by that since we just talking about this a few posts ago and cause you are a fast mommy yourself. I see a t-shirt in the near future.

  5. Rick430, high five to your new fast mommy friend! As for you, it’s okay to get “chicked” once in a while man. Just don’t let it happen to often hahaha.

    Marga, thanks to you and daddy! Yup, I know I should be lifting weights soon. And, cross training. And, running more. So many things to do, so little time!

    Ben, opo coach!

  7. hi,

    i came across your website a while back while searching for a listing of manila races. i just was not able to make a comment then because i had unstable internet connection. like you, i am quite a new runner. i just became serious with running when i bought a personal training watch suunto t6. (http://www.heartratemonitor.co.uk/suunto_t6_heart_monitor.html)

    nabasa ko rin kasi ang article mo about garmin 305 and seemingly you have great piece of equipment there. makikipag compare notes lang sana ako with you about the performance of your garmin with that of mu suunto. ty.

    nice to see that you are back in action after the injury.

  9. Banggi, i spoke too soon. It springs back and forth from injury to recovery hahaha.

    Nick, suunto should be good too. How do you like it?

    Mayi, I love that mizuno outfit! The leggings is so comfy and it moves with you while you run. Annie is getting one too. Ikaw na rin. Then the three of us can run together. Hahaha

  10. i like the features of suunto especially the training manager software. in one glance i can see my “training effect” after i download my workout date to my computer. however, it does not have gps capability like your garmin. it relies on the speed pod (foot pod) for the speed and distance measurements. the speed pod is very accurate though and i have no complaints so far. (confid ;) - how much does garmin 305 costs, if you dont mind?) i ask this question because after i bought my t6, i saw a similar and comparable product made by polar that costs around 30% less. thanks.

  11. on your easy runs ,try to run 6 % to 8% incline hill for 8 sec 4 times hard and walk down, your last 2miles of your easy run. This will make you strong and injure free. Do this 2 times a week.
