Maui Madness - Week 2

So last weeks post didn't work. I think I tried to save it to edit and lost it ..... such is life.

TO begin again. This blog is to follow my progress of my training for my next (number 6) marathon in Maui this September. My training has been somewhat off of late due to a varity of factors which I may or may not go into at a later time BUT last week was week one of my 16 week training schedule. As my lower back has been providing grief I have been spending more time in the pool (water running) and it has seemed to have helped. Great - Awesome. Sunday I needed to run 20+km which I did at the Toronto Ladies Half Marathon (great run). Unfortunately I had a little problem with my blood pressure on a ride home (it was very very very low) in the bus with the girls and well fortunately I had six nurses on our rented school bus and they took great care of me until the EMS, Police and Fire Department arrived and the ER doctor (after all the tests, blood work and x-rays) thinks I was dehydrated and I need more water leading up to my long runs. I know this. This will be my goal for ALL weeks from here on in.

So, there is to be no pool today, or running tomorrow. I am invoking the three day rule to recover from my post run recovery.
