I had one more long run of 20k planned for this morning. We’ve been battling the stomach flu for the last 4 days and it’s left me with a slight cold. I also tweaked my groin a little playing hockey last night. So I made the conservative decision to ditch my last run and swing right into my taper for the race. I’m going to keep up my mileage for the next week and then slow down a little to rest up for the race. I’m feeling ready to get a new PB. The weather in Florida has been in the high 20’s and is showing this tread continuing until the race day. That will be 50 degrees warmer than my last long run. Wow!
That’s all I have to say now. I’m going to stay positive and eat well for be next two weeks and then rock a new PB!
Oh ya…I signed up for a couple new races. A half marathon in London on April 27th and a 5k in Goderich on May 11th that I’m running with Megan. I’m excited to see her get back into running!
Keep on moving,
JA

Sounds like a good decision, and I can’t wait to hear how the race goes! As for me, I’m slowly – very slowly! – building up running mileage, though I tweaked my IT band last week a bit 😦 So I’ve (re-)started a core workout that should help my running mechanics and help on the IT front. And I’m using the godforsaken foam roller on my ITs a lot. On the plus side, riding and swimming are going very well 🙂
I have a love-hate with foam rollin myself. My bike and swimming have been non-existing up to this point, so you’ve you got me beat in those two. I did join the Kimcardine Tri club a few weeks ago, so hopefully I can take advantage of their workouts when life slows down a little. I’m not so sure that will happen anytime soon though. Maybe I’ll just have to adapt to this structured chaos.
