Hell... it's been a tough few weeks.
I still haven't run due to the fear that the pain will flare up and any chance of me running the marathon this weekend will be shot. Great way to go day to day huh?
On top of that, due to chlorination problems at the pool, I haven't been able to get my swim workout in since last Friday. ALSO, since we have snow on the ground and the weather has been crap, I've had to settle for cycling sessions at the gym... which make me want to rip my hair out and stick bamboo chutes under my finger nails. Ugh.
I really really really REALLY hope my foot holds up this weekend, to the point where I feel like I can continue running from there on out. If this 3 weeks off has made me antsy and insane, I cant imagine being laid up even longer, waiting for this ailment to "heal."
So fingers crossed.
Off to Philadelphia early on Saturday morning, to the race expo that afternoon, then up at 4:30 am on Sunday in prep for the 7 am race start.
Hopefully i'll beat my time from Baltimore, despite the injury and nearly month off from training.
A 3:30 finish? We'll see...
