I decided against racing the 15 mile mud run. It was a tough decision since I had already paid for my race entry, but in the end, it was the best choice. I still have a long journey ahead of me until the finish line of Canada, and I don't want to hurt myself. What really made my decision was the fact that I've been feeling my glute again (similar pain to what took me out of the 2009 Honolulu marathon). Anyway, I've been stretching, strength training, and am looking for a Kaiser doctor to refer me to PT (the one I saw in December wouldn't, soooo not going back to him).
I did however go for a leisurely 6 mile run at Forest Park, which I really enjoyed. It wasn't 15 but it was still something. I had fun working on cadence, breathing and form. I decided that I need to pull out my Chi Running book again and re-read it.
Right now work is really busy. It's Telefund time again so my hours are all out of whack. I stay up too late and sleep in since I don't have to be to work until around 11, but that also means I'm working until after 8pm. I just need to make a decision about when I'm going to exercise and stick with it. My problem is that I enjoy having down time after work to journal, read, watch movies/TV online or what not, BUT then that means I'm staying up too late. If I don't do something, then the next 4-5 weeks will see me exercising very little, which is no bueno.
That's all for now...
