Glutes on the run
It was a productive week that ended with 24 miles.
Since Thursday I noted something different on my glutes but until Friday and then again on Saturday, was that I started using and enjoying it. After about two miles into the run there is some new energy coming from my glutes and make my run stronger and easier. Maybe I think is like my strike has grown some maybe only a bit in length and that should aloud now this muscle to move better and for that reason now I can use them. I feel like the rest of my leg is useless now that I can use my glutes for pushing. It's energy is crucial. What a nice sensation. Seems like everything takes me long to happen and for that reason I can almost watch how my progress goes on...
On Friday I had to go for a speed session but missed it again. Instead of that I ran in what seemed to be a tempo run which had the best mile in 9:20. It was a great run. On Saturday I could felt the effort and change the run for the afternoon and that gave my legs a chance to run the last day of my running week. The start wasn't that nice but it ended full of renewed energy!
In other notes, I finally visited the doctor to receive the results of the studies, I was busy yes, but the truth is that as I felt recovered just didn't paid attention to it. I have gastritis coming from a bacteria and the treatment is with two different antibiotics. I didn't wanted to take them as some internet research I found saying it is common in this countries but exactly yesterday morning I started having some nausea and stomach discomfort. Hope this doesn't change my runs that at the moment are going so well... What a time for this to come, but still I should focus on the future and think of this as a part of the taking care of my health now and not in the middle of a marathon training. :-)

I hope your stomach will get better very soon. Gastritis is a very nasty feeling.
Yay for glutes! And be careful with stomach pain. It sucks.
Bad time of year for a stomach upset so close to Christmas. Hope all is well soon.
'Pushing off' the ground, using the glutes is what we teach young runners - I'm sure it will help your running.
I hope the stomach problem settles down soon.
Hilda,
I hope u get well soon. Yes focus on the long term. If your health is strong, your fitness level won't be far behind :)
Only who had the same problem can understand how you feel and I do. Please be ready for the celebrations you need your stomach "in shape" for the Xmas dinner.
Are you OK Hilda?
