I did another "sprint" on 8/28 and my times are getting slower. Last week, I did a 51 with hamstring pain. A few days ago, a 55 with less pain. Today was over 60 but the good news is that I was virtually pain free. I am nearly certain that I am weakened by the Para Purge. Good news is that I have only 1 more day before the scheduled pause in treatment.
I expect to be AWFUL in my first real workout. Likely over 12 for 1 Mile. It will be interesting to see what happens in the following days. I expect to get better but go backwards again when I am finishing up the treatment. Will I see much effect from the Vitamin C and ADHS? Hopefully not. If the hamstring flares up again, no big deal. I'll just take another 10 days off and start when the treatment ends.
For many people who enter 5K road races, 12 minute pace is the best that they can do. I applaud them for getting out there and making an earnest effort. Though I don't wish my condition on my worst enemy, these arrogant elitist runners who look down on others should experience being slow for just 1 day.
8/29- Very weak today but I have reached the pause phase.
8/30- 1 Mile at Heardmont in 10:43. Actually not as bad as I expected. Splits were 5:28-5:15 so that's encouraging. More importantly, I had almost no hamstring pain. Tomorrow will be big.
In other news, I've had a cyst on my back for several years. Even the doctor that I saw wasn't concerned because I had it for years. This morning, it started to drain out. Thick, white and stinky puss. Did the Para Purge have anything to do with that? Don't know. If so, I don't know what to make of it.
