Back to the TM
January 30, 2010
Looked on the Internet for the temp. in my area and it showed 3 deg. this morning. Now that’s freaking cold and I don’t no about you, but when I see those kind of temps I opt for the treadmill. I had six miles to put in today and I really wasn’t wanting to do it on the TM. The TM may be boring, but it does get the job done when needed.
Managed to get in 4miles on Wednesday and 4 on Friday with weights on Tuesday and Thursday. Have 4 miles to do tomorrow and with the 4 miles I put in on Monday it will give me 22 miles for the week.
The heel is doing better and seems to be improving a little each day. This week I have had less heel pain since just before the marathon so that is very encouraging. It looks like the spring marathon isn’t going to happen because I don’t want to start marathon training until the heel is completely healed and by that time I won’t be able to ramp things up quick enough to run a decent time. Will do a spring half for sure though.
Registration for the Chicago Marathon opens February 1 and plan on registering as soon as it opens. Hopefully I can get to the starting line this year completely injury free and in the best shape ever. Still would like to BQ or at least PR.
I am believing this is going to be a great year.
Enjoy every step,
Al
