Ouch. I'm walking sideways and I had a hard time getting my socks on this morning, and getting in and out of the truck was a nightmare. Gonna take a zero Monday, probably Tuesday, and slowly cruise back into some miles...I plan on hitting Lantern Hill a lot for training until the 26th, as it's technically more challenging than Chatfield and just minutes up the road. Some kid fell off a cliff there yesterday and had to be rescued by helicopter...yikes, I almost expect that shit to happen to me at some point...yes, it can be a dangerous place but it's also awesome...I love it there, and bombing down from the top is the biggest rush for me...just don't fall off a cliff. That'll mess you up.
Monday, 10-6 - 0 Miles - 0 Anything, for that matter, I even begged off of coaching soccer today, as getting anything done just hurt. Oddly, I'm not sore from the race much. But HOLY SHIT are the muscles on the lower right side of my back f'ed up...couple more days, I hope.
Tuesday, 10-7 - 0 Miles - Coached soccer practice and was moving around better. Good sign. I also made a tentative list of 2015 races (subject to change, listed at the right column of Le Blog--->>>), and thought about a BQ marathon...but then thought again. I'm sticking to trails for now. The only road races I'm considering at the moment are "Streak" races (i.e. KIAI, Run4Kerri, etc.) or local running club races, which will forever be on my list. Off Rhode 4th Season? A Better Pace? WTAC? I'm officially in for all of 'em. Run4Kerri is my first ever race, I've run it from 2009-2014, and I'll support it as well. It gave me a great cause to support, and the spark to start running. Otherwise, I'm heavily trail race weighted and looking forward to the Grand Tree series again. Disclaimer: this list is made to be amended... :)
Wednesday, 10-8 - 0 Miles. - Coached soccer game. Back not 100% but markedly better...good sign, as I was able to practice with the kids before the game!
Thursday, 10-9 - 1.4 Miles (Trail) - Henne Preserve, North Stonington. Short trail run to check out how my back feels. If I'm moving, I'm pretty good. Not 100%, but better!
Friday, 10-10 - 5.4 Miles (Road) - Westerly/Pawcatuck roads. Dropped off Lori's car for an oil change, and did a nice, easy loop around town. Felt much better!
Saturday, 10-11 - 0 Miles. While almost everybody else was out suffering in the rain and generally shitty weather, I did some family stuff, while stalking many friends' progress online. Good day to be an indoor spectator!
Sunday, 10-12 - 7 Miles (Road) - Mystic River loop progression run. In Mystic to run a few errands, and ran the river loop, 6 miles, in under 50. If I'd known it was a segment, I might have pushed it a bit more! As it was, the more I ran, the better I felt so the faster I went, turning it into an impromptu progression run until I got back into downtown Mystic, where there were just too many people to maintain any kind of pace or rhythm. Can't fault them, though, it was downright gorgeous out today!
