Yah, de-emphasizing some of the secondary ST exercises, and focusing more on the heavy lifts, more frequently, for less time each workout, really seems to be working.been meaning to say, you've been seriously getting back "into" it, haven't you?
Check out your mad miles and ST.
Thanks for letting me live vicariously while I plot my path to back on track.
The weather had me really down for a while for running, but the ST, as you've said, is a good feeling in its own right.
Keep it all up.
Yeah, had to make a trip to the water closet after I had warmed up on the deadlift. Something wanted out. Not urgently, but I felt relieved afterwards. Hey, now you got me talking like you.BL, what's a "gurgly" stomach? hunger? nausea? upset? constipated?

w-little beach run. didn't seem to have enough energy to get into a full run. mom's dog was too tired from day before. he was giving me "no way in hell" eyes when i said let's go.
everybody poops. runners talk about it more because it happens to come out easier. plus it means you're really good running buddies to talk about it. no details necessary though. just generalities.

Still doing about 2 km per day STG in temps of about -10C to -15C range. Pads seem to have held fine over the winter as I have no discomfort running on this winters road grit. On a side note I bought a 20 lb kettle bell, now how can I utilize this to benefit my running?
OK, here's the generality: I normally poop first thing in the morning. But I drank several espressos that day, cuz I was sleep-deprived, and then had a protein shake too soon before working out. Gurgle gurgle. In general, I've been getting away from the protein shakes, and won't get more powder when my supply run out. Unless you're a high performance athlete, or a vegan or something, I doubt it's necessary. And in any case, I prefer spicy sausage and stinky cheese for my midday protein intake, or herring, smoked or pickled.everybody poops. runners talk about it more because it happens to come out easier. plus it means you're really good running buddies to talk about it. no details necessary though. just generalities.

For running, probably kettlebell swings and snatches. I tried kettlebell swings with a homemade t-bar. Since there's no kettlebell involved, I call it a squat swing. Still, I concluded that my time was better spent doing more deadlifts and squats. Seems to me like kettlebell swings are another useless elaboration on the tried-and-true, a mindless newism, and put on a lot of strain on the lower back if you don't do them just right. But a lot of respected trainers swear by them. Just didn't seem to do a whole lot for me. Maybe I should give them a try again and see if I've changed my mind. For most other kettlebell exercises, dumbbells work just as well or better: http://breakingmuscle.com/strength-...-the-right-job-kettlebell-dumbbell-or-barbellStill doing about 2 km per day STG in temps of about -10C to -15C range.

And hopefully on Tuesday we can catch up with Peter !It was hot and very humid so not much fun really.
Good luck with this Jen!I am confident the physical therapist, who specializes in this, will show me how to rebuild everything and I will get relief, but it's not going to happen overnight.
