Yesterday I experienced a PW (personal worst): 2.8 miles in 28 minutes, 29 seconds.\u00a0 Even when I weighed 200 pounds I could run that loop faster.\u00a0 But you know what?<\/p>\n
IT FELT GREAT!!!<\/p>\n
I went in for another PT appointment on Wednesday, and while I probably should take a bit more time off, with the upcoming Goofy Challenge, I wanted to get back to running.\u00a0 However, my goal for training for the rest of the year is to keep it slow and steady.\u00a0 I felt so good yesterday, I’m planning on running the loop twice tomorrow.\u00a0 Assuming all goes well, I’m hoping to work up to a 20-miler three weeks before the race.<\/p>\n
Although it sucks to be plagued with knee and hip issues (yet another indication youth is wasted on the young), I’m glad it’s happening now when I don’t have so much at stake.\u00a0 I’ll continue to incorporate my PT exercises into my workout routine (in addition to various strength-training exercises, she also has me doing a bunch of core work).\u00a0 I’ll also continue to work in water running and the elliptical machine on non-running days.<\/p>\n
Hopefully all the strength training will prepare me for the hill and speed work necessary for a BQ.\u00a0 I’m still shooting for next summer, however, if we decide to tear our house down that may have to be pushed back (although he’s an extremely patient and understanding husband, my darling might not appreciate me bopping off on a long run while he’s stuck dry walling).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
