Random runs, chiro visits and other randomness

For whatever reason it was a flury of chaos around my house this morning…so it’s a bullet points kind of day.

  • I must admit it feels kind of funny to wake up every morning and not have my runs and workouts pre-determined by a training plan. I’ve been heading out the door with no real destination in mind, just running to run and when I’ve had enough or am crunched for time, I head back.
  • Signed up for my first race of 2013 – going to run the Wampanog Old-Fashioned 10 miler again. J and I ran it back in February (you can read the race report here). It’s a really well organized local race and I like the course. I also like racing this distance and hope to find a few others to do next year.
  • I’m headed to my second appointment with a chiropractor this morning. I attended a gait analysis clinic this past weekend where this chiro was the guest speaker. While I’ve had a gait analysis done before in running stores, it was very different to have it done by someone trained in the neuromusculosekeletal system the way he was…plus it helped that he’s a marathoner. I’m going to work with him for a few weeks and see how my ITB responds.
  • We’re staying local for Thanksgiving this year – my brother’s hosting and I’m really looking forward to a lowkey day with the family. The plan’s to either hit an early yoga class or get a run in, then finish cooking and head to my brother’s place for a day of food and football!
Are you running a Turkey Trot? 
Traveling for the holiday or staying local?

  1. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Michelle!

  2. Staying local this year, which I’m more than fine with 🙂 No Turkey Trot, though…couldn’t find one in the area where I’ll be. Have a nice Thanksgiving!

  3. Staying local AND doing a turkey trot.

    Congrats on signing up for another 10 miler. Hoping all goes well with recovery leading up to it.

  4. Hope you and yours have a great Thanksgiving, Michelle!

    I’ll be running the Medway Turkey Trot (5K) tomorrow morning…my first Turkey Trot ever! And you might see me out there for the OFTM, as I might make it part of my training schedule for my next marathon.

  5. Running without a plan right now too. Feels weird. Kinda liberating … but weird. Curious to see how the chiro works out for your ITB. I’ve never been to a chiro, but always wonder if a visit wouldn’t straighten out (literally and figuratively) some of my ailments. Good luck in the turkey trot, and have a great holiday!

  6. i feel like the best way to stay motivated is to keep signing up for races! hope you have a great thanksgiving

  7. Happy Thanksgiving Michelle! Low key sounds perfect. I’m heading to the lion’s den (aka the in laws) in NC. Alas no trot for me this year. Bummed about that.

  8. I hope the appointment with the Chiropractor went well. Happy thanksgiving!

  9. Stayed local AND did a turkey trot…both were fun 🙂 Hope your day was great!

    Hope your chiro helps as much as mine did…so amazing for me and I wish the same for you 🙂

  10. My husband is a Chiropractor and so thankful to get those adjustments weekly!

    I’m also thankful for cute compression socks! I found a website at lunatiksathletiks.com

    Grateful for other runners blogs which reminds me that I need to go blog soon!

    Happy running!

  1. […] the thought of all that popping and cracking kinda freaked me out. Then last November I went to a gait analysis clinic where the guest was Dr. G – a chiropractor and marathoner! I started seeing him and quickly […]
