Oh boy....I have not been very good on keeping up with my blog. With the kids heading back to school, my mom was visiting and a sick dog. (I know, I know, but she was in the doggy hospital for 3 days...) Writing took a back seat. I did start and stop a couple of posts, but couldn't really get it out. Oh well....the kids are back in school, I am back to running and the dog is home so maybe I can get back on track.
I am slowly ramping my mileage back up. I ran 3 outside on Sunday and a little over 7 outside yesterday. I felt good, a little bit of tightness in my calf. I came home and used my Tiger Stick on it, then put the boys to work on massaging my calf. Those little buggers have great hands. Can I just quickly mention the humidity up here. It is bad or rather was bad. It is now raining and a little chilly outside.
I meet up with Dr. Looney today and am hoping to finish up my plan for Chicago. It is definitely going to be a different race for me. I am going in to enjoy it and probably not race it. Let's say a long training run. My 2 besties get it and I have already told them to go along without me. My first marathon was 4:32 and I am hoping to beat that, but I truly will be fine with whatever happens.
Fingers crossed.....
good attitude re: chicago!!
ReplyDeleteI'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! You are getting stronger each time out! Feel free to send your little massagers down this way!
ReplyDeleteI ALWAYS make my kids give me massages! It's their job as far as I'm concerned :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the input on my football pool. I went with your pick!
I'm glad your dock is okay!
ReplyDeleteI don't have any children, just a cat and dog. I always wonder if I could maybe get my dog to do her whole wiggle dance (on her back) ON my calves. Seems like it would feel great!
