Me as a runner, I think I can be competitive and I can be very hard on myself, i feel like I haven't proved anything, I know I'm a strong runner, but I know I could be better, whether that's my training or my diet,....
Best part of NEPA running, Moosic MTN.
Bouncing back from anemia. Been severely anemic since March.
(via Dailymile)...It's been almost 2 weeks since I ran, I've only been allowed to do light workouts and light walks. I found out I am severely anemic, my hemoglobin is a 7, I need to get a scope done to see if I have an ulcer. I also found out through my pulmonary function test that I have exercise induced asthma. Echocardiogram came back and show my heart is working hard due to the anemia and caused to show a heart murmur. CHIN is still up, high iron diet for now, looking forward to feeling better and getting back on the trails

February Freeze 5k, First Lady, 2nd overall, decided last night to jump in a 5k, tough course on dirt road/trail, wasn't expecting to PR on this course since it was hillier than I expected. Definitely a confidence booster, since I am NOT a 5k runner. I tried very hard to catch the leading male, but last hill towards the end killed me.

Delirium Race....
79.67mi 12:54 9:43pace
Leading into Delirium I believed I had solid training under my feet. I was having feet issues heading into this race but I prayed that they would just hold up.
Starting this race I took my first 5k fast, 23something, pretty sure the first 10 or 15 miles my pace stayed around 8:40s. I finally eased into a slower pace 9:30s.
The course was flat, trail, rained for a few hours, got very muddy in sections and hard to run through.
I knew in the back of my head there's was no way I was going to be running out there the full 24 hours, but I believe I could possibly get sub 18 hour 100 even if I walked an hour.
I think I started to fall a sleep around 35 miles, then started to run with man in the 6 hour event, we got to talking and I didn't even realize my paces were dropping sub 9 minutes again. He did well 40ish miles in 6 hours. I too reached 40 in 6 hours, told myself to slow down.
I hit a wall again at this point and changed from my Hokas to my
Mizunos around 46 miles bc they were so much coated in dirt they felt like bricks.
Got to moving again, felt good and cranked out a few laps in a sub 9 minute pace then settled in again. Reached 50 miles in 7:53.
I started to have negative thoughts, and I was trying to get myself out of it so I started to set little goals for myself. My goal was to get to the 100k in under 10 hours, I was 9:53. Then my new goal was to see how if I can get 70 miles in 12 hours, I got over 73 miles.
I was good to go for a couple more miles. Then all hell happened, instantly couldn't take another step without agonizing pain. My toe was bothering me for the past 30 miles but I felt a snap, I thought it has snapped off. And of course that cramp that I has been having an issue with in my other foot, that was something I might have still could have pushed through, but whatever I did to my knee, I couldn't move. I walked slowly the last lap, I didn't want to call it quits, mentally I was fine.
I ran so comfortable and relaxed for 79.67 miles in sub 13 hours, disappointed that I couldn't reach 100 due to my feet, mentally I was ready I had more to give, lesson learned, Hokas for entire race!
Not sure what is next, I was planning on running another 24 hour race soon but my motivation and determination is low, I should just look at Delirium as a really long training run. Not sure what I want to do with running now so taking time to think about that....
Great Job Taryn...
ReplyDeleteI wish I had all your strength and ambition. ..
Maybe after I have this baby ill start to worry about trying to run and exercise lol
