@manikaruns2: 4 months ago I took myself to the ER for abdominal pain and bloating that made pain radiate up my back and down my legs. I just knew something was seriously wrong. After tests and imaging were taken it came back that I had a grape fruit sized fibroid that was causing the discomfort. I had no clue because everything I associated with fibroids I didn’t have. After research and speaking with many OBGYN doctors it is not an urgent matter but will be handled sooner than later. In the meantime I did not want to have a bulky stomach or the new pain I was feeling. I read that ab work increases blood flow to the abs which feeds the fibroid. So that day I stopped ab work! I began to focus more heavily on weights for my legs, hips, back, and heavy on the cardio with my ultra marathon coming up, and clean eating. I have not felt better! I feel strong, powerful, and confident! If you want advice on how you too can begin feeling better if you deal with this shoot me a message! #abworkout #runtok #ultrarunner #runningrunning #blackgirlsrun #marathon #roadtonamibia
