Digg! this story.
Took the last 6 days off after my Half. Thanks for the comments and support everyone! I feel better about my performance now. The conditions were extreme, and my goal really was just to finish.
So today I went to the reservoir for an easy run. 50 degrees, sunny, light breeze. Nice leaves turning color. Walked the first 10 minutes. Then easy pace run, walking when I felt like it. Though much less often than usual.
Put together a new workout program. Sort of a holding pattern in running until 15 weeks before the New Jersey Marathon. I have not committed yet, because I normally don’t like to run much in the winter. But this year I have some better gear, and I also belong to a gym again, so I may be able to keep it going through the cold months to train for May.If I can keep it going, I’ll commit.
I also am wanting to sign up at my local Dojo for classes again. I have been working out just on my own since March. It’s been a year since earning black, and I can feel my skills getting dull. I miss getting thrown around (and throwing). I could do it, but it would only be one night a week. I do worry a little about injuries there though - that could interfere with marathon prep. And I do tend to get injured fairly often since it is MMA. But I miss it. This decision is a little tougher…
