So I&#8217;m shutting it down until Sunday. One of the guys didn&#8217;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.<br \/>\nSo 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&#8217;m not even getting home until 9:30, then I have to make dinner! Lucky for me I don&#8217;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.<br \/>\nI can&#8217;t wait to get this race done with and start looking forward to what&#8217;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&#8217;s all crazy, I&#8217;ve done this 20 times before and yet this time feels completely different. It&#8217;s not part of my monthly routine anymore, it&#8217;s been since December since I&#8217;ve run a marathon!<br \/>\nAnd that brings us to today&#8217;s installment of Llamas with Hats. I&#8217;m using it to try and make myself laugh and relax, and I hope you&#8217;re enjoying it too! Happy Birthday!<br \/>\n<iframe allow=\"autoplay\" class=\"youtube_embed_iframe\"    allowFullScreen=\"true\" style=\"width:640px; height:385px\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SJixW2u4IvQ?autoplay=0&theme=dark&loop=0&fs=1&showinfo=1&modestbranding=0&iv_load_policy=1&color=red&autohide=1&disablekb=0&enablejsapi=1&version=3\"><\/iframe><br \/>\nRaw face is just gross.<br \/>\nHave fun, keep running, and remember; If Gil can run then so can you!<\/p>\n<div class=\"sharedaddy sd-sharing-enabled\"><div class=\"robots-nocontent sd-block sd-social sd-social-icon sd-sharing\"><h3 class=\"sd-title\">Share this:<\/h3><div class=\"sd-content\"><ul><li class=\"share-pinterest\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-pinterest-898\" class=\"share-pinterest sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=pinterest\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Pinterest\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-facebook\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-facebook-898\" class=\"share-facebook sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=facebook\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Facebook\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-reddit\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-reddit sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=reddit\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Reddit\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Reddit (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"#\" class=\"sharing-anchor sd-button share-more\"><span>More<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><div class=\"sharing-hidden\"><div class=\"inner\" style=\"display: none;\"><ul><li class=\"share-email\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-email sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=email\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to email this to a friend\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to email this to a friend (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-twitter\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-twitter-898\" class=\"share-twitter sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=twitter\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Twitter\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-print\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-print sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to print\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to print (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-tumblr\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"\" class=\"share-tumblr sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=tumblr\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on Tumblr\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><li class=\"share-linkedin\"><a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-shared=\"sharing-linkedin-898\" class=\"share-linkedin sd-button share-icon no-text\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gilcanrun.com\/?p=898&amp;share=linkedin\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Click to share on LinkedIn\"><span><\/span><span class=\"sharing-screen-reader-text\">Click to share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)<\/span><\/a><\/li><li class=\"share-end\"><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I went for my regular Tuesday run, which ended up irregular.
