things I learned

 

The Sage Memorial 5K was so far my worst race ever!

Worst in terms of how I was feeling etc.

BEST in terms of fun though!

• Don’t drink coffee (ie Mocha) 20 minutes before race
• Go to the bathroom…even if you don’t think you need to
• Drink water the morning of
• Drink water the night before
• AF came to town and I don’t normally run when AF is here
• Every race can’t be a PR
• I can only go up/get better from here

 

Sunday afternoon I stepped on a nail….

Had to make a trip to the ER for a tetanus shot

I still can’t walk normal on it

I hope I make it to the Timber Days 5 miler.

At least I have to let it heal so

hopefully my achilles  will heal also

ice. elevation. ibuprofen

repeat

1st running injury

 

I apparently don’t

do enough stretching

I think I have

Achilles Tendinosis

 

Last night

getting out of my chair

I couldn’t bend my foot

to walk

So I googled my

symptoms today and

it comes up with

Achilles Tendinosis

lovely!

race this weekend

 

I laugh at myself’

If it is called a

FUN RUN

I am offended that a 5K is FUN

if it is a race

I will never be 1st

or even 1st female

maybe in my age division

someday.

I am getting faster

and I really

enjoy outside

not the treadmill.

My pace out side is 11-12

treadmill is 15-16

No clue why.

Shooting for a PR for Saturday

Will be very happy with under 40.
