Change of plans
So I went for my regular Tuesday run, which ended up irregular. So I’m shutting it down until Sunday. One of the guys didn’t show, so another guy did show and we ran his usual route, which is 12km (7.5 miles). When we started the downhill I got a twinge in my left knee, like the one I got last year, oddly enough at the end of March. So I decided that I would shut it down and let my legs recover from the distance challenge I started the year with. Better safe than sorry, and at this point, I really need a rest. Next week, no running at all until at least Sunday.
So I have a long day today. Parent-Teacher conference this morning in San Giuseppe, then I need to do some shopping, special lesson at 4, regular lessons at 6 and 7 and then a conversation class 8:15-9:15. So I’m not even getting home until 9:30, then I have to make dinner! Lucky for me I don’t work on Wednesday until 2pm. Meanwhile, I just went through and recharged my internet and phone so I have it, this is important for the end of my week. Have to get up to Rome and all.
I can’t wait to get this race done with and start looking forward to what’s next. Taking so much time between marathons suddenly has filled me with tons of anxiety over the whole thing. How will my body take to the time off? Did I overdo it on the mileage challenge? Will I stay strong through the race? Have I conditioned myself enough for it? It’s all crazy, I’ve done this 20 times before and yet this time feels completely different. It’s not part of my monthly routine anymore, it’s been since December since I’ve run a marathon!
And that brings us to today’s installment of Llamas with Hats. I’m using it to try and make myself laugh and relax, and I hope you’re enjoying it too! Happy Birthday!
Raw face is just gross.
Have fun, keep running, and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!
