Well, to no surprise the Boston Marathon registration opened on September 8th and closed on September 17th. My husband's comment, "Aww all that handwork...." Have no fear the handwork is not for nothin'. I am still going to race on October 19th and I will still attempt to run a 3:45 or faster and no I don't have to continue to qualify until registration for 2016 opens. I can try to improve my time to ensure an earlier registration but if, no scratch that, WHEN I qualify on October 19th it will be good for registration next September. Whew, I know its confusing but trust me, I know & understand the what, where & how! Anyone this determined has to, right?!
So, now for an update on the past week. I hurt! I have never, in the year that I've been attending Camp Gladiator, not been able to run the warm up. This week I couldn't or should I say didn't. I am usually pretty stubborn when it comes to my workouts. When this started I can't say but it sure wasn't who I was in high school or even my 20s or early 30s. Haven't I heard you become more stubborn & set in your ways the older you get. Hmmmmm, might be something to that!
I was almost convinced to see a chiropractor this week. Sorry, Cindi but I feel better now! I took Monday this week off and will not attempt to make up the run like I did last week. Here is what the schedule looked like:
Sunday - 14 miles - CHECK
Monday - 11+ miles - NOPE
Tuesday - CG - CHECK
Wednesday - 8+ miles - will either do it or the 11 + from Monday (see what drives me tomorrow)
Thursday - CG - plan on it!
Friday - 8 miles
Saturday - the dreaded 20 (DUM, DUM, DUM) - actually looking forward to seeing how I do, lol!
It looks brutal I know but guess what........the taper comes next and then I get to figure out what to do with all the pent up excitement and anticipation until the race. I can't believe I am almost there!
Wish me luck!
