Why do some young people have heart problems despite being fit and active? Why one genetic typo can lead to death in seemingly healthy young runners.
This is why weight loss and taking it easy is for me. I’m okay with coming in last as long as I’m still alive!
What is Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy?
This is what I am up against in my pursuit of my running goals. Heard of people who drop dead during marathons? That’s me!
New Chapter in My Life
I was diagnose with HCM last year after the LA Marathon on April 1st of 2016. I have rightly spent the past year freaking out and believing my running career over. I finished SPLAM this year with a 24 minute PR. Let me take you on my journey from normal athlete to scared shitless and back again. Stay tuned.

I’m still here...
Just not posting as much. I have done several races and lost some weight but wonder if anybody out there even reads this?
For a wound to heal, you have to clean it out. Again, and again, and again. And this cleaning process stings. The cleaning of a wound hurts. Yes. Healing takes so much work. So much persistence. And so much patience. But every process has an end and an appointed term. Your healing will come, God willing. And like all created things, your worldly pain will die.

So this was my time. As you can tell I was doing great up until I cramped up. I PR’d by 10 seconds total (womp womp). It is what it is but I had a great time! Think I will follow a coworkers advice when she recommended that I rub my calves with a capsacin rub to warm my muscles up before a run. Seriously thinking I should do this next year just to see if I can go faster. Since my time was tracked I believe I am still in it for the California Dreamin’ Challenge!
So this is happening...
Invo Coconut water is absolutely my favorite. Raw and nutty this stuff really hits the spot on a hot day. It's also pretty cool when you get a pink one! The only thing I don't like is the price tag. It's a bit over $3 per 12 fl ounces and given the way I drink it gets expensive fast...
My home vitamin stash (picture to the left) and my work vitamin stash (right) (TMI warning: If you are squeamish stop reading). Last month I stupidly failed to take my women's multivitamins for an entire week before my period as well as my iron pills. I felt absolutely horrible during my period. I was lethargic for the entire week and did nothing but sleep. My period was ridiculously heavy which sucked even more out of me. Could not do a 10 mile training run much less a mile.
This month being the San Francisco Half Marathon I took these pills religiously (but I go easy on the magnesium, found out the hard way that this is way too large of a dose). I am currently on my period and finding no lack of energy, easy cramps and PMS to a minimum. I also noticed I am not pigging out. Giving that I do so much mileage my body runs through vitamins and mineral much faster than the average person. As long as I keep being this active these vitamins are my friends.
I take some extra pills for running purposes. I take turmeric for inflammation, zinc for cramps, B12 for energy and Omega 3 because I HATE fish. I take vitamin C because I work with the public and want to avoid a cold, it also helps with iron absorption.
You have been visited by the Chan of wealth, reblog this and you will have money come to you!
I REBLOGGED THIS YESTERDAY AND LIKE 2 HOURS LATER THE WALLET I HAD LOST 6 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME THAT HAD MY DEBIT CARD AND LIKE 80 DOLLARS IN CASH WAS DELIVERED TO MY HOUSE WITH NO RETURN ADDRESS I CANT HELP BUT THINK IT WAS JACKIE CHAN WHO SENT IT GOD BLESS YOU JACKIE CHAN
Last time I did this it was payday so duh. Let’s see what you’ve got this time, Chan.
Er, actually, about a minute after I hit reblog I got some very important (and positive) money-related news out of the blue. The system works, guys.
Well i get paid tomorrow so
Can't hurt? LOL
This man is a god! Found this video online and fixed a nagging pain in my butt/hip area. Turns out I have not been stretch my butt and hip muscles correctly/deep enough. My time improved by and ENTIRE MINUTE PER MILE! Take a look, it just may help you!
Felt like trash the day before this run. Ate very late in the day (Noon) and had a super hot day. Was running around doing errands all day and rented a car for the occasion (I don’t own a car, miracle how I get around L.A. :P). Despite being inside my air conditioned BMW (go Zip Car!) I believe I managed to dehydrate myself. Was feeling off all day and thought I had a very light migraine. Felt it during this run and had to wait until 5:00 PM in the evening to do my run despite the headache and some nausea.
I also had the bright idea of trying a new running drink, generation UCAN. Unfortunately, it made my nausea worse and gave me a tummy ache. First half of the run was still hot. Despite this I manage to do an 18 mm which would have been faster but stupid me forgot to turn off my phone while at a stop light and checking face book. I also underestimated the length of my route and ended up making it a mile longer than I needed it to. Got home really late (9:30 PM) and was so wired I did not got to bed until nearly 1:00 AM.
Given all of this I am kinda freaking out for the San Francisco Marathon (second half). Going 16 mm seems like an impossible task. Half of the race goes downhill so I hope that helps.
My hottest run yet. Had the bright idea of running in the mid day heat with 61% humidity turning a 76 degree heat day into an 86 degree heat day. Not to mention my core running temperature raising at a minimum 10 degrees. Took frequent heat breaks. I was going uphill in the first half of my run (total of 9 miles). Halfway through I stopped to re hydrate and boost my electrolytes (pickle sandwich anyone?) I also paid a buck for a large soda of which I only drunk a few sips of coke. The whole point of the cup was to be able to carry ice ice and dump it on myself on the way out. The trick worked. I was much cooler and dorkier looking all at once.

I'm Getting Faster!
I felt like today was a unicorn day. Those days that you always hear about don't think are real. Epic run! Hubby asked me to pick up book at library. Took bus there and wanted to take bus back. Bus never showed up so I started walking (hence huge break at less than a mile). I kept trying to outrun the bus in case I was able to catch it. Noticing first mile is always like molasses as I need to warm up. Got home, dropped off book and went off for the rest of my run. Last 3 miles were EPIC! Kept on with the Jeff Galloway intervals of 14R/42W. Got home too late to foam roll so I am in a little pain this AM. Last night I felt like I could keep going and had so much energy. Heck, I feel the same now! :D
