Marathon Training: Week 9

Week of 3/12/97

Planned: 36

Actual: 10.62 miles


Tues 3.13m Tempo
Thurs Cooper and I both Sick
Sat 7.49 including a PR in a 5K
Sun Long drive, sore legs, and re-occurance of blood in the urine.


The blood is beginning to annoy me. Major problems, including cancer, have been dismissed. I am now trying to match it to running, vitamin use, other diet issues, and any other thing in my life that can explain this. It scares me and it is cutting into my training time.

I have changed today's rest day to a run and I will do yesterday's 14 miles either tonight or tomorrow night. . .

blood in the urine? yikes. that's scary. but it happens sometimes, mostly in ultra-marathon runners.

google said something about hyponatremia, or could just be a jostling of things in there...

Keith,

Thanks for the comments.

Hyponatremia is not it; if anything, I have been de-hydrated lately.

I have discussed running with my doctors, and they don't think my mileage is enough; although they warned me that I might have problems with marathon distances.

So, back this week for another appointment. . .

Thanks again for the comments.
