I’m pretty upset because today I went to double check the cost of the 50k that I have been saving up for, and was planning to register for in a couple weeks, but it’s full, has a waiting list of 20 people already, so I guess the plan is to maybe just do a couple shorter races and work on my speed and base fitness, so then maybe when I do it next year I can do it in 6 hours and 30 minutes. I’m pretty bummed right now...
My running lately has been going really well though!
National Running Day
Its National Running Day and I was hoping Santa Cleats and his eight Run-dears would bring me a gift but no--not a goo, not even a chew...
I finally went to the doctor
She said it wasn't anything serious (which I assumed). She said it's most likely my patellar tendon, but she had me get an X-ray to make sure everything was okay with my bones. She also have me a referral to a sports medicine doctor and told me I should go see him. So this is all generally good news, why do I feel so bummed? It's because she told me no running for two weeks. And she said the sports medicine doctor will most likely give me a "back to running plan" once I've met with him a few times. Which makes me so sad because I feel like that means I'm going to lose all my running fitness. I didn't want to be the person who runs a marathon and then falls off the running bandwagon. I wanted to keep pushing and keep working hard but my knee is making that impossible. And it's seriously frustrating me. During my run yesterday my knee hurt the entire time, it's just so disheartening when I want to just be able to go for a quick fun run and even those seem impossible. I just don't want to rest. I don't want to lose my fitness level. I LOVED the way I felt when I was marathon training. I just don't want to lose that level of self confidence and pride for myself that I had. I'm waiting for the sports medicine office to call me back so I can make an appointment. I'm definitely going to follow up with that. Hopefully he can help me more. I know this is such a small injury and I shouldn't be whining this much. You guys have gone through much worse injuries. And she did say I could keep biking, so I at least have that. My running heart is just sad right now. Sorry for the novel.
Just biked 13 miles, and oh my gosh it's so nice! I wish my foot was better so I could run.
Sick
Hello everyone. You know that nasty cold going around? Well, I finally caught it last Friday. And last Thursday was the last time I ran. I can't believe it's almost been a week. I've just been so weak and sick. I'm on antibiotics and just when I think I'm getting better, I relapse. I'm so worried about losing running progress. And I want to get out there and run for Boston. We'll see how far I've regressed after I recover.
