Yea, I know what you are thinking...... it is about time!I finally signed up for my Half Marathon next Saturday, the Run the Reagan Funny thing, I felt it necessary to sign up for the half-marathon coaching program - 1 week before race day - you think they can help me? :)
No, I didn't put it off because I wasn't planning on doing it, I put it off because I just was unsure about injury or something along that lines. I wasn't concerned about not being fit enough, because I always knew I would make it.
Last July I pulled a muscle that put me out for almost 3 months. Since I am really still trying to build my base I have felt small issues all along the way, and have been concerned about injuring myself again. I just didn't want to fork over the money (yes, I am tight) and then find that something was going to happen that would put me out of commission.
I was going to sign up after my last long run on Saturday, but then I started feeling this cold come on, and I had seen what it did to my son and then my wife...... so I got nervous. Well, I have taken the last 3 days off and slept a little later to try and give my body everything it needed to fight this cold in hopes that I could squeak by it instead of letting it settle in for a unwanted visit. I think that has paid off, because each day now I am feeling better.
I will be going for a run tomorrow (yea, I hate it when my schedule gets screwed up!!) and will see how that goes. I may just go for 3, but maybe up to 6 depending on how I feel.
Wish me luck!! and continue to pray for my body to completely heal! Thanks!
I totally understand the reasoning behind the late registration. I registered early for my marathon though so I could get an "In-Training" t-shirt for free (to early registrants).
ReplyDeleteGlad you are feeling better and I'll be praying you feel as good as possible come race day!
Good luck Tim! Hope all goes well

Good hunting at the half!!!
ReplyDeleteYou will do just fine, keep it up.
ReplyDeleteThanks all for stopping by and the encouragement.
ReplyDeleteI did go for my run this morning, and did 4. I felt good enough to go more, but stopped because I just got over this little cold and didn't want to undo what the rest had done. I will be going for my long run on Sunday this week - never done that before :)
Thanks again!
