Taper madness time! (Read 363 times)
posted: 1/30/2010 at 4:14 AM

 

....or not.  Since I haven't really trained enough, I assume I don't really need to taper any for the upcoming Surf City marathon.

 

But, I can still exhibit pre-race jitters and other crazy stuff right?   For instance I have some new pain in my right hip.  It actually feels like it is at the side of my pelvis.  ????      Hurts when I put weight on my right leg.   Which I tend to do 50 % of the time when I run.   Sad

All I have to offer is rum.

if you didnt have a pain before a marathon you would be screwed.  As it is you'll be fine.

I am in the same boat - I think I am finally over my injury and I need to start training for Surf City -

 

I now plan on just keeping my sister company during the race

 

How do I get to see you Ilene?

 

I am not even sure what hotel I am staying at - My sister booked that.

As long as you're picking up cranberry juice, don't forget to pick up something more interesting to mix it with.

 Not meant that way. Let's keep our minds out of the gutter. Oh wait, this is the Swamp. Carry on.

Is it really high enough up along your back to be your kidney, or is it more around the backside of the hip joint in your...err...your backside?

Its actually more along the side of my hip, but high enough to be my kidney.  It is in a very strange place.   So far the cranberry juice isn't helping.

 

Thanks for the hugs and dips.  Smile  

 

Dopple Bock, ask your sister where you guys are booked.     Lets get together at some point, will you be here by Friday?     I can gather up arc918 and antagonist too.  Big grin
