RUN 6.5mi 55mins (thursday)
RUN 6mi 60?mins Pere Marquette (saturday)
The week started off with the CF wo with BN. This resulted in a pained neck, back, and shoulders, and kept me from swimming all week. I relented at the end of the week and took some Advil with substantial improvement. I ended the week with a run at PM, where I twisted my right ankle twice, resulting in further medicating. It feels great now, but I'm not sure how much of that is the meds. But I finally feel like I have enough flexibility back to hit the pool tomorrow morning.
Well, welcome to F35-39! Having a birthday late in the year means I spend my 34th year racing in a higher bracket, but I guess it also means I'm younger than everyone else. Last year I made some promises to myself, and to this day I've held to them with good results. Any promises this year? Sure, but as before they stay personal. Although I will say here, as it is relevant, that come today I'm done with Redman. No more rethinking or reliving. Over. Done. Good night. Turn the page and move on.
Goals for next year? Sub 50 10K. Sub 22 5K. Finish a century. Sub 19 1000y. Be Courageous, but know your limits. Be Patient, and enjoy the journey. Believe in yourself, and stay true to your goals. Keep in mind the 10 Things Learned From Redman (especially the 11th one). They hold a key to next years successes and failures.
Had a great relaxing weekend, boosted by a surprise visit from home! My birthday gifts were triathlon-centric, always a good idea. I wonder if that's all I talk about or something.... ;-)
