So this weekend I've agreed to run a half marathon on Sunday with Running Buddy Colleen. While we have both committed to running this race easy and view it as a training run, I know how I get when I pin on a race bib and cross the starting line.
I'm entering this weekend a bit banged up. The ball of my left foot is really hurting...to the point that I have been limping all day today. It scares me because I don't want to do anything that will cause me serious harm, but at the same time, I seemed to do OK when I ran the track workout on Wed. So I guess I will see how I feel on Sunday.
Even with approaching this race as a training run, this makes 3 half marathons that I'm running between now and the end of the year. Is this too much? Am I pushing myself too hard? Time will tell but I do feel like I'm doing well in my training program. There's definitely more that I could be doing, but I am happy with where I am. Maybe by the OC Half, I'll be in a position to break 2 hours! That would be awesome.
Read along with my blog as I discuss weight, schedule and life challenges as I try to get my triathlon training back on track. I will also discuss what I've learned along the way and what new goals I'm setting for myself.
