Total Distance

9.20

9.2 mile GS loop extended. It was a little chillier this morning than it has been; I guess a sure sign of winter. But I guess it is December. I was slow and achy as I made my way around the loop today (a common theme lately). My legs just will not snap out of this post-marathon/ sluggish phase. I'm also lame with a hamstring issue that seems to be permanent. I guess I really don't know what to do... I'm too scared to take the appropriate time off to heal and get proper treatment for the hammy. But I'll give it a week and a half or two weeks and if there is no improvement I may just have to do a two or three week layoff to fix the problems.

Cumulus Miles: 9.20

Don't be scared. It's only running. Time off is part of any healthy training cycle. You've just been on the blog too long. Plowing through slumps and injuries seems to be the "cool thing to do" around here. It's better to be healthy than to be cool though. :P

Your right Paul. "Plowing" is an easy pattern to fall into here on the blog. I'm guessing this time of year will work out just fine for me to take time off and get things worked out.

Now to try and get some appointments. Chiro and April.

I like that plan. I have been doing the same thing Clyde and its getting me no-where, still injured and hating it! 2 to 3 weeks sounds about right, now if I can just convince myself to do it!
