I'm leaving tomorrow for the Moab Red Hot 50K+. Ahhhrr, 2 days ago I was ready to pull the plug on the whole thing. This ski-knee was super sore, apperantly a strianed Meniscus. It's still a tender, feeling maybe 75%, hopefully it will go numb! Ran a slow 4 miles Wenesday to try and loosen it up. Seemed to work, it definatly feels better than it did. Was hoping for a good race, we'll see what happens. I'll be happy just to take the day as it comes.
I gotta say though, I am really looking forward to some miles on dirt!! I haven't run more than a couple-a steps on dry ground since the Chimera 100K in December! Smart or not, I haven't run a single step on the pavment all winter, stuck entirely to snow packed trails and the 'mill. Haven't gotten too many long ones, but alot of hill work and a little speed work here and there, we'll see how that pans out 4 hours in on Saturday . .. . |
