January 31, 2010

Whoa. I ran a 5 k road race this morning in Kansas City, refueled and rested a few hours, and just trekked 1.5 hours with a loaded pack here in Lawrence. Something interesting is happening to my body core. I used to feel that my legs were my powerhouse, but since training with a loaded pack, my core is getting super strong and trumps my legs. Plus, my stabilizers (adductors and abductors) are working on over-time, giving my quads and hamstrings a break.

Tomorrow I have my last massage with Holly, my body-work therapist, who has been my musculoskeletal system's BFF.

I'm getting really amped.
