I know I am at my worst the week before the period arrives.<br /><br />Also, you may be experiencing more intense ups and downs right now as your cycle resumes its normal schedule. After a couple of years of being preggo and breastfeeding, the hormones may take a few months to even out to more manageable, or at least predictable, levels.Jesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01465800584212530717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-26923408808946206782011-04-25T11:18:39.236-04:002011-04-25T11:18:39.236-04:00CONGRATS on the 5K PR!

Hopefully the 10 miler will feel easier!<br /><br />The hip may be the start of IT (tight Illiotibial band) which if not careful can then go into the knee. I often get it if I don't stretch, especially after the bike as you are in such a restricted position. Google some good stretches for IT Band and hopefully it will ease off.<br /><br />I always have a week about 2 weeks before I'm due when I'm just a horror - grumpy, tired, hungry, emotional. Totally hate it. Haven't clocked it for performance yet, but probably is a link. Actually I hadn't clocked the grumpy bit either - poor old hubby worked it out!!!! LOL!<br /><br />I had heard the garmin 405 is a pest for switching onto diff things when not required, which is why I went for the 205. It may look like your exercising with a PC strapped to your wrist but at least the screen stays where you want it!!!<br /><br />Rest up and good luck with Broadstreet.Kazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15681949979941583308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-90615806252870988972011-04-24T09:54:32.055-04:002011-04-24T09:54:32.055-04:00Ps great job on the PR!!!!!!Ps great job on the PR!!!!!!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825097650104995097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-58675196563726797392011-04-24T09:52:42.689-04:002011-04-24T09:52:42.689-04:00Interesting topic!!!!

All better. I've completely paid attention to this cycle and it's been like this 4 months in a row. Now I don't sweat shitty workouts at the end of my cycle- I just go get them done and know that it'll be normal/good soon.Michelle Simmonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10301323188060167291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5469780206027563404.post-26173183973255290132011-04-23T22:42:31.673-04:002011-04-23T22:42:31.673-04:00yay!! you did an awesome job! my garmin ALWAYS scr...yay!! you did an awesome job! my garmin ALWAYS screws up at races!!<br /><br />ok, I thought I've read before about female runners and the cycle...can't remember where. but, the best time to run is during your period (ironic huh?) then up until ovulation. after ovulation until your period starts again runs pretty much suck. I always tried NOT to think where I was in my cycle to make it mess with my head though. some of my best runs were the day before my period started though. maybe this is when the hormones start to change to trigger the period?Charihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09016553715852916194noreply@blogger.com
