6/4/13

I just got back from my first run since going to the track last Thursday. There was no pain in my ankle, however it wasn't exactly "normal" either. Not stiff, maybe just a wee bit tight in certain directions of movement. Road running should be fine. Trails are a different story.

Last night I decided I will not be running the Mohican 50 this year. Sure, it's paid for, but my time is more valuable than the entry fee. Two nights camping with an hour + drive each way is a lot of my time. I can thing of better ways to spend it given that I'm in no shape to be attempting a 50 right now. Best of luck to everyone who has put in the training and will be toeing the start line in a week and a half.

The Run Streak is Over

It didn't take long, but 5 days were the most days in a row I have probably ever run. My run streak ended on Friday. I am not disappointed. I enjoy/need rest days. While at the track on Thursday, I did something to my left ankle. I don't know what. It hurts, but not a lot and not all the time. I probably ran on it too hard without having the base in. Or maybe it was the lightweight more minimalist shoes. Whatever it is, I will need to work through it without making it any worse.

Which has me rethinking even going down to run Mohican. The race is paid for. I think I can cancel my camping reservation and get at least some of my money back. I can definitely save on time and travel by not going. It's Father's Day weekend and if I go I won't be home until Sunday afternoon. Decisions, decisions.
