30 Days And Counting

Well, it is getting down to the wire and I think I'm getting there. It took me a long time to recover from my last major race. You remember that 12 hour ultra back in August. Things just haven't been the same since. No spring in my step and some days I found myself sleeping in.

Today, I had it all. Even though I didn't do my 15 miles today. I did a quick tempo run for 5 miles. I ran so hard and so fast that my quads are still burning. Alleve and Tylenol have become my friends. When away, I will make sure to take 2 in the AM before the run and 2 more 4 hours later. Who knew that running had become a science.

I hope to make it to the trails this weekend for a change of pace. It would be nice to see some different scenery. I think that is the main reason why I cut my run short. I need places to explore.

Soon I will be able to explore Rockefeller State Park. There are some many trails in there. I've gotten lost each time and that was with asking for directions. Go figure.
