three things thursday
1. I'm feeling pretty massively overwhelmed by life right now. I'm swamped at work, we have some things cooking at home that are keeping us busy, and somehow I'm supposed to run a half marathon next weekend. I'm glad that I'm not in a rigid training schedule right now as I'd be feeling guilty about my serious inability to adhere to it. If I can get through about next Monday, things should calm down a bit and I can hopefully catch up on the rest of life - both my own and yours!
2. I still haven't decided on a goal for Richmond. I'd like to set some sort of rough time goal just so I have a place to start as far as pace. I was hoping that the 14+ I ran last weekend would give me a good idea of where I am, but that 14 was coming off the highest-mileage week I've had since February and my tired legs gave me a big fat middle finger when I tried to pick it up a bit at the end. I'm planning on running 8-10 this weekend on more rested legs and am hoping that gives me a better sense of where I'm at.
3. I'm going back out to Active Spine and Sport next week for my gait check-up. I'm still dealing with a tight right adductor and hip flexor, which tells me that as much as I feel like I've made some big improvements with my gait, I'm not quite there yet. Hopefully he'll give me a tiny weird exercise to do that will be the final tweak to what has been a very long process of fixing my broken ass.
Happy Thursday, everyone! I'm drowning over here, leave me a knock-knock joke or something to laugh at if you would.
