Wendy and I ran the East Peoria FOLEPI four miler last month for our season ender. I went out with a 44 minute time and she got a cool 37 minutes. Exercise tolerance on my part has gotten to its worst levels I can recall most likely due to my medications. If giving up was an option I'd sign up! However we are looking forward to 2016 with a half marathon already on the radar and training slated to start in February. Wendy continues to train indoors on the treadmill as I have shifted my focus to spin and rpm classes along with weight training. I'm scheduled for another semester at Southern Illinois University, am more actively then ever pursuing a career change, and will also expect my guitar playing and gun range time to increase putting yet more stress on my exercise schedule but my goals are not going to drop. I'm currently injury free and will just be hoping for a breakout year as I usually do, packed full of planned changes. I plan to go with new inserts and a more expensive USA made shoe collection for the year along with the usual round of supplement cycles and taping/banding to increase exercise tolerance and reduce physical injuries/flares. I received a hydrocortisone shot yesterday for inflammation not related to my usual back and knee injuries but should help. I don't plan to have them regularly. I did receive over 25 Sarapin shots in my lower back, had over 10 physical therapy sessions and started inversion treatments to keep my back online. Fingers crossed. I also hope to get my daughter into the kids series running circuit again and maintain my biking mileage. Happy trails!
