My running has been pretty erratic of late, primarily due to construction work on the house. I've had more than a few days where I have worked so hard on the house that I was too tired to run. Which in retrospect was probably pretty stupid.
Alot of people have asked if I think that I am ready for Sunday, a scant 3 days away. My response? It doesn't matter at this point if I am ready, I am doing it. The only thing that could stop me is injury or if the train breaks down on the way to Chicago.
I figure what I will do is start at what I think is comfortable and go from there.
So what's been going on over the last few weeks, seriously almost 3 weeks??? Well, suffice it to say that I ran a few times, missed one big run day, which was definitely a no-no and shorted another big run day, another definite no-no.
The shorted run: I was in Kentucky visiting my Mom who is still recovering from knee surgery (get better Mom). I decided to run indoors on her treadmill instead of in the heat. What was supposed to be 12 miles turned into an hour on the treadmill, and definitely not 12 miles. And I don't think that I ever sweat that much....ever. My wife came in and I was ready to tell her that she needs to get a rain poncho on... I decided to cut it short since apparently conditions were not conducive to a good run...it felt like 12 miles though.
A quick note: Kudos to Lisette for getting into it. Start easy and go from there. Believe me when I say that my first time out running, I only ran 1 mile. Baby steps....
See you out there!!!
