To paraphrase an old poster: Today is the first day of the rest of your training. It doesn’t matter where you started or how far you’ve come. Today is the day. Your training didn’t start 6 weeks ago. Your training started the last time you hit the road. John “the Penguin” Bingham Life is not tried, it is merely survived if you're standing outside the fire
I had a lot of shin pain last week. I even made an appointment with my sports medicine doctor because I was *sure* it was a stress fracture. Before the appointment today, I took a week off of running (more or less ), got a sports massage, soaked in Biofreeze and bought new running shoes. LOL! Leg is good as new and I was able to run my 5 mile race Saturday. When I explained to my doctor today why I had made the appointment in the first place he was *sure* it was a fracture. (He thinks I'm nuts to run so much even though he's a runner too. ) I was like No! It's better. It's fine now. LOL! Just fix this sciatic pain. I'm freaking out about everything now. Twisting my ankle funny. A twinge here or there. I'm really worried about my big relay race on the 21st. It's all *hilly* and I have two big downhills on my legs. I keep thinking of all the bad things that could happen to my knees. Paranoia! Teresa
Less than 2 weeks (12days) to go! Have not been running the miles I should thoguh. Ran 8 Sat at a snail's pace and BOTH knees protested at the end. The ITBS in my left knee started in at the river (lots of up and down on the path). My time is not going to be good.
When it’s all said and done, will you have said more than you’ve done?
