I raced injured for the majority of this year and am committed to not doing that again in 2010. Luckily IMFL is in November and I have plenty of time to heal, and build my running base back up. There's not much to say because training right now is quite different from what I will be doing next year. Rejoined LA Fitness so I can do yoga, spin, and lift weights. Swimming one day a week and long rides on Sundays.
Yesterday's ride was a drag. I went from 16.6 avg mph to 14.4 for the same distance and course. The wind was 10-15 mph and I went from loving Silk Sheets to hating it. I mentally couldn't do it yesterday and wished I was off the bike almost the entire time. The highlight of the ride was when a deer came flying across the road chased by two dogs. It was a beautiful sight.
I ran the Atlanta Half Marathon on Thanksgiving day with Jeannine and although it was a ball because we took our time and made many stops, I realize in retrospect, that it was not moving me towards recovery. I'm headed off to see Dr Julien today so I can find out exactly what is wrong, and discover his path to health. I am guessing it's 3-4 more weeks of not running. There is plenty of time. No need to hurry.
