2022 Resolution Recap- March

Physically: March was really centered around the last month of training for the Gorge Waterfalls 50k on 4/3.

And I did really well in that realm. After a couple ‘lower’ weeks (40 and 47 miles) in late February/early March due to travel and a cold; I finished the training push with two strong weeks (65 and 72 miles), including good long trail runs.

I’ve also had a couple taper weeks now, in which I cut down to 38 miles and now just about 18 miles before Sunday’s 50k.

I feel pretty well prepared for it, as prepared as I can at least… so I’m taking solace in that and trying not to be anxious going into it.

I also continue to hit my daily meditation and stretching goals, and actually look forward to the meditation now. It feels more like a reward than a duty.

Where I have fallen off a bit is with my strength training, which… is ironic and pretty hypocritical really, since I preach it so heavily. It’s partially due to being sick early in the month and tapering late in the month combined with a busy schedule. I meant to do some reduced load lifting this month and didn’t do as much as intended.. oh well, I will get back on it next month.

Still no volunteering yet, but do have a couple in the books for the summer.

How are you all doing on yours?

Comments

Within a month I had noticeable improvement and was back to my regular training routine.

I received excellent care here. The wrist injury I came to get help with was 7 months old and getting worse and within a month of receiving PT care here I was experiencing noticeable improvement and able to get back to my regular training routine. Mike’s attention to detail and expertise got me much needed relief and improvement and set me up for success to continue improving on my own. Great PT experience, thanks Zenith and thank you Mike!

Helped Me Resolve My Back Issues

I’m convinced that Mariel knows everything about the athlete’s body. Nice, intimate facility with plenty of equipment for anything you need to work on. They helped me resolve my back issues and transition into better overall mobility and strength training.

Exceptional Care from Mariel and Jesse

This is a review for Mariel and Jesse: I have had many massages with Jesse. He is methodical, receptive, and thoughtful with every massage. If you have a trouble spot he will definitely spend the time working on it but will budget his time to make sure you end up with a full body massage as well. I have never left without feeling better and that I wasn’t worth it. He is very good at getting the knots and tension out without subjecting you to abject torture. A true sports massage with the benefit of full body relaxation. The only caution I’d give is that he is in a “gym” space. If you do not mind the VERY occasional “sounds of the gym”, you will be fine. However, if you use the massage room as a means of escape into a quiet, serene, transcendent space without ANY external distraction - there may be the occasional thud of a weight. But by no means are the sounds constant. I can still find my peace. I worked with Mariel initially for my back and then my shoulder. I started by seeing Mariel for my back which started to progressively improve and during this time my shoulder flared up. I didn’t need a new referral, I didn’t feel bad about bringing it up, we seamlessly transitioned into working on both without any issue. She is a consummate professional, insightful, and knowledgeable. At the same time, she is fun, laid-back, and gives reasonable advice and adjustments to work towards your goal. I would trust her with any physical therapy ailment I have.
