vivalasvegans Posted May 5, 2010 Author Share Posted May 5, 2010 thanks lobster! Tuesday:2 things. 1. omg please leave me the hell alone while i have heavy weights in my hands. i do not want to talk to you and i will not give you my number. also do not fucking stare at me while i am doing sit ups. i swear to god i do not have much tolerance left for this shit. 2. my first run since i broke my foot! not a great time, but not too bad for being away from it for so long. 5k 28:01my legs are killing me today. i ate enough in the morning to feed the north american continent 3 times over. i guess i neded it because on my way to the gym i felt like a tiger again. it was nice! it came at the right time too iguess cuz before i went to the gym this old racer guy was telling me that as he's getting older he has to give himself more recovery time and be sure to get enough carbs in him right after he trains hard. I should start being more on top of this but i want it all now. i know i get stronger when i recover but i don't want to slow down. commute +warm up then5k tread run25 min spin (mostly tempo, some hill)chest/bis/abs (5 rounds)standing med ball balance w db bi curl 20x5 50x5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted July 8, 2010 Author Share Posted July 8, 2010 (edited) Pardon the interruption but I got a news flash. Some one in the building said vlv's back. After a lot of time spent with orthopedists, trauma specialists, chiropracters, physical therapists, massage therapists, and an accupuncturist, recovery is still ongoing. I probably won't be racing this summer. But I'm not closing the books on that just yet. recent activityfriday: 50 mile ridesaturday: 4 mile runsunday: 40 mile ridemonday: could barely lift my arm but i pulled off some bb skullcrushers, amazing 3x20x20significant arm pain45 min swim: 15 breast, 16 lengths fs, fs/breast mix. 16 is prob too muchtuesday: 45 mile ridewednesday: 4 mile runthurday so far: 21 mile recovery ride1 hr spin thursday food so far:coffee/soyfrozen banana, 2 scoop protein6 cups low fat popcornfrozen banana, 2 scoop protein150 cal oatmealvibrance bar2 sunrise barslettuce and some fake meatsome cherriesa lot of icecream Edited July 9, 2010 by vivalasvegans Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John V Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 This forum isn't the same for me without you. Seems like you're doing a very lot for someone recovering from significant injury. Welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted July 9, 2010 Author Share Posted July 9, 2010 You guys are the greatest. Really really really. Knowing that you're all out there, getting your vegan athlete on, really inspired me to work so hard at getting better. John, it only seems like I'm doing a lot because I'm just going so slow. Friday so far:pt at the gym (plus skullcrushers, super weak lat pds, and cable pressdowns)30 min swim 15 bs, 15 fs food so far:banana. 2 scoop proteina little popcorna little ice cream (carob pepperment) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John V Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 John, it only seems like I'm doing a lot because I'm just going so slow. I don't buy it, as you posted in miles. Have fun. Heal well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vivalasvegans Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Yeah that stuff is awesome, only 115 calories a serving, and So Delicious! Do you guys have Grocery outlet there? It's like $1.50 a container there. Saturday:4 mile run. paced the whole way.Sunday:30? mile ridethoroughly massive pain, it was a really awful day. I did the same ride 2 weeks ago and was ready for more and did more. sunday i was just hurting way, way too bad. ugh. it pisses me off so much. So, how to end on a happy note... um... positivity... oh, a nice big hit of gel helped me get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsteriffic Posted July 12, 2010 Share Posted July 12, 2010 What gel do you use? I haven't tried any. But I'm starting to work in longer runs...this weekend I have a 15 miler planned. So I figure I had better start working in some nutrition. I am sorry about the pain. Remember your body has been through something traumatic and it needs time to heal. You'll be back. Stronger than ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vivalasvegans Posted July 12, 2010 Author Share Posted July 12, 2010 Thanks, most days I have so much pain, when I have bad days, they're really really bad. It gets old. A lot of times I just want to give up, I guess it's a lucky thing I have such a bratty streak. I don't know how long that will hold me. I like hammer gel better than cliff or anything I've made at home. I think hammer is slower burning than cliff too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
