    'Sup, yo.

     

    Today would be a great day to do anything but run. And yet, into the darkness I go, where no man with any damn sense would.

     

    Aye.

      Good morning!

      You nailed my mindset LRB.  This seems to be my not feeling it at all week.  Having to start work very early doesn't help.

       

      I ran 3.2 miles.  I was planning on some 400s this morning.  I ran one, it sucked, and I came back up my driveway.  Weaksauce.

       

      I hope everyone has a great day!

            Good morning, my fellow internet users!  I swam this morning...pretty sure I was still sleeping when I entered the water.  I got it done...2400 yards.  I've got a bike ride scheduled this afternoon which will mostly likely be an indoor spin session due to 50 mph winds and fts.

             

            I'll be shackled to my desk at noon today for the clusterfock this is a Disney race registration.  I better get in.

              I hate this kind of weather!!! Afternoons are warm or hot, demanding shorts and the mornings are chilly and cold where I've got to wear capris!! 

              Anyways, Jetta and I ran 5 miles this morning, it was 42 degrees which felt much colder compared to 60 degrees yesterday afternoon. I hope to get in another easy 2 miler this afternoon.

                Good morning all.

                 

                So I went and got a massage last night for my tight hamstring. I did 17 miles on Saturday, and the hamstring was tight enough that my stride and pace were impacted (stupidly, the injured calf is fine now).  I didn't run Sunday or yesterday, but I think the massage was helpful. I'll try running again today or tomorrow and hopefully things will be much better.  If they're not, I'll have to think about pulling out of my 50k this weekend, especially since it's going to be a very muddy affair, so that I don't do any damage to the hamstring. 

                 

                I know this is just a little spell of bad health, but I really feel like I'm losing ground on some of my goals.  I suppose this is the time when it's important to think of fitness as an on-going process and not put too much stock in a single training cycle.  That sad, it'd be a heck of a lot nicer to feel healthy and be running my best.

                          In my opinion, consistency more than anything is key. I know some people welcome them and do well, but for me, layoffs and lulls in training suck and are sometimes hard to overcome. Hopefully this bad period ends soon for you.

                            We're going to the 10K/HM "challenge" if we can get in.  Either way, we're still taking the vacation.

                              Awesome!  We are taking a break on Disney races after this Star Wars coming up, but the new Wine & Dine is more to my liking.  Maybe I'll do it next year.

                                I don't know about strength...but grant me PATIENCE!  I am so NOT patient when waiting for an injury to heal so I can go run again.  It's only been 3 days and I think I'm already driving my poor wife crazy.

                                 

                                Still resting my adductor muscle pull I got from last Saturday's 5K.  It feels much better though, might try an easy and short run tomorrow.

                                 

                                And a nasty bruise appeared on my inner thigh yesterday where the pull is. It looks worse than it is...actually does not hurt or anything.  Maybe the bruise is helping 'seep out' my injury, lol.
