Slept in, then lollygagged a bit before checking off a (local) "bucket-list" item: Alsea Falls.
As it turns out, Alsea Falls is a pretty mediocre BLM park west of Corvallis. While it had OK trails, the actual falls was pretty lame. Another falls, a mile away, was better.
I studied along the way and...once I got there, I felt like shit. At first I thought it was car sickness. But it took about half the run -- and feeling "allergy responsive" -- to realized that I'd OVER-did fucking allegra. This happens every so often: usually when I take it daily (or more than daily) for several days in a row. I'd take a pill right before we left.
Felt rough: drowsy, heavy legs, cranked. But interestingly...not as bad as actual allergies.
OF INTEREST: Callie filmed my stride at the end of a run:
* I have been thinking about "ROGER'ing": this is when you externally rotate your foot behind you when you push off. It's both a hip and ankle issue (that's bad for both, and the back)
* but it turns out, I'm still doing a LOT of lateral trunk motion: push off one leg, slop trunk too much toward the landing side.
* what correlates with that? "CHARLIE-ing": when your leg push-off -- rather than extending straight behind -- adducts, or "swirls inward", across midline. The more I "CHARLIE'd", the worse the lateral trunk.
So that'll be a new project.
