I just got back from the club after doing 4 easy miles on the treadmill. I feel really good but my hamstring is still feeling week. Is it an injury? I'm trying to nip it in the bud and prevent it from becoming a full fledged injury. I am scheduled to get a massage this afternoon and now I'm going to see the chiropractor after that as well. Hopefully that will eradicate the problem. I'm planning on just resting until Saturday now. Now more running although I may swim or do some pool running tomorrow but will wait to see how everything feels. It's always best to err on the side of caution so rest is best at this point!
So it looks like I'll stick to "just" running the 50 and hope for the best. Frank and I may "walk" a 20 mile loop after we finish the 50. Kind of a reward???? We'll see how we feel but it would enable us to run at night and experience that portion that we haven't yet in preparation for Umstead in April. Hopefully my leg will cooperate. I'm sure it will.
Frank stayed for yoga and I came home after my morning run. It's so strange to be home so early. I usually stay there for 3 or 4 hours and it's lunch time when I get home. That's one way to eat less! I ran for an hour and that was it! It's bizarre how quickly you get used to doing more!
I'm really looking forward to Rocky. Another ultra under our belt. We'll get to see Mary and in two weeks from then we'll get to see Jean and Herm. Running ultras is a big extended family that keeps on growing.
It's going to be in the 60s today! How cool is that? We are really enjoying the weather and although we've had some pretty chilly mornings, they are short and sweet and not mind numbing. It's going to be warm in Texas as well and that makes it challenging to know what to wear. Last year it got really cold at night but this year it looks pretty nice! Looks like shorts are in order and maybe some pullover pants for at night. I'm hoping to be out there until around mind-night with the extra 20 mile loop! Sounds like fun right?!
