Total Distance
2.50

60 min elliptical, then 2.50 down to the trail up partial way and flipped around back home. Discomfort in my right calf and shin, and my inner voice shouted don't race on Saturday. Sad... I suppose I should rest it all this next week. I hope UVM is still attainable :(

I think it would be very wise to rest it for the week.

Although a bummer... the inner voice is usually wise. I am sorry about the discomfort, hope UVM still works out for you!

Thanks Dale and Dan. I am going to rest this whole week. I am pretty darn down tonight. I have both speed and endurance right now and so I bummed I'm unable to run the half tomorrow. I think would have done well. Hope this calf thing gets better :(

I feel your pain, Lily. I felt the same way at last years St. George. I had to pull out because I hurt my back the day before. It was depressing.

Just so you know, if you need to pull out of Utah Valley, you can defer it until next year. My wife and I were signed up, but decided we wouldn't be ready, so we will do it next year.

Don't think that far ahead. Line upon line. Precept upon precept. When I start thinking about things in the future I freak myself out. "Things are not as bad as they seem" -President Hinkley.. who also states: We should believe in ourselves. You know you can do great racing.. now you just need to believe that you can get better and thats why taking time off even if just for a week is SO smart. :) Have faith. uvm is attainable, just gotta be smart about it. These things come up with everyone and it makes us stronger. You''ve overcome hard things in your lifetime. Just like you will this. I know how your feeling, and I am here for you. Get better

Sorry you missed your race. Take a few days off and get some rest and hopefully it isn't serious.

From Carina on Sat, May 05, 2012 at 21:11:44 from 204.15.86.83

I'm so sorry lily, I know how hard it is to miss a race you've worked so hard for due to injury! Rest up and you'll kill it at Utah valley! Sending fast healing wishes your way!!
