Its time to re-structure the goals. There was once a time goal on this effort. Now, I just want to finish in one piece, ahead of the time limit, which may well be a stretch. I did 6 and 1/2 miles today. Tempratures were up to typical Florida standards for a change and I was eager to run in the more "sweltering" heat I'm used to. The heat felt strangely good; the calf, not so much. Pain the first quarter mile so it was a galloway run. Trying to decide whether or not this is the kind of pain you have to work through or if it needs to be heeded is the quandry. Midway I got "used" to it but I am not sure that is a good thing. Ice and heat are againg my best friends closely accompanied by disappointment. The overal time was quite embarrasing.
I'm going to have to stay off of it another week, time I can't afford to waste. Cross training (hated these days but necesary) will have to step up another notch while I continue to nurse the calf praying for the speed to finish. 15 minite mile minimum. This is possible in the immediate short distances, even considering the calf pain, however, I just won't know what to expect in later miles and I'm scared.
No sense denying. I'm off to lay out the plan for the week.
About Me
- Kell
- My life is a full and active place. After too many years of too much effort I have found a place of happy contemplation. In spite of all the obstacles I have conquered, I find myself distracted and "scattered." This is the time of my life when I truly have it all but it is important not to lose sight of the things yet left to achieve. I have found my track obscured by my own pleasant distractions. So, its time to set some goals and refine the track a bit. I hope to use this as a place to organize the scatter, put things in perspective and enjoy gratitude without becoming complacent!! There are so many adventures yet to unfold. I don't want to lose sight of my prize. The Journey :)
