Fighting with Father Time
No matter how many times it’s been said and tagged as cliché, there are still not enough hours in the day! And there certainly aren’t enough minutes to spare before it’s time to head off to work. At the beginning of this I thought I’d sort of pencil in “give up fast food during weekdays” to my new year’s resolution because the two kind of go hand in hand, but honestly, how am I supposed to say no to a super tasty Double Whopper with Cheese when it’s just a few blocks down the road, takes only moments to eat it’s deliciousness, and no time to prepare?
Yep, less than two weeks out from the marathon, I have strained my hamstring something awful. It’s the worst thing that’s happened to me thus far, and of course it had to happen close to the end. Hopefully it won’t be so bad, though–I have done the longest runs I’m supposed to do, and all the time until the marathon (which is only TWELVE DAYS away! yipes!) is mostly tapering. I’m scheduled for 3-5 mile runs today, tomorrow, and Thursday, but I hope I can just skip them and start up again on Friday without too much trouble. I don’t think it will be a huge setback provided it heals up in a few days. Better rest than test, I always say… or rather, my friend Brad says to me. And since he’s more experienced at running than I am, I believe him. And though the injury comes at a really bad time in relation to the marathon, it comes at a GREAT time in relation to DVD releases…
