I went over to Mr. W’s yesterday because he offered to run 3 miles with me in the evening. It wasn’t as comfortable of a run, I felt a tension on my right hamstring that led up to the right side of my lower back. After the run, I just thought, “Uh-oh.”
I talked to Vicky this morning, and having run the Rock n Roll Marathon in San Diego a few months ago, she suggested I needed to run in a hat and shorts. Running in direct sunlight is a real issue to me, I usually run in the late evening to avoid sunlight. Disneyland’s half marathon starts at 6:30 a.m., and let’s just say I miraculously pick up and maintain for 14 miles my old pace of a 10-minute mile with straight running. It’d be just before 9 a.m. when I’m done, which, if present weather holds up, would be a billion degrees in direct sunlight. Glug. I don’t like running in a hat because sweat tends to collect at the brim and the trapped heat and steam bothers me. I don’t like running in shorts because they ride up. And I need new shoes and MP3 music before then to run in the “full outfit” a la dress rehearsal.
YOU CAN DO IT!
You should download the theme song to Rocky. Have you been to the horse trails behind the Fullerton Courthouse? It has a pretty scenic route. One of these days soon (once I am back in my routine and can hang) lets go for a run.
What’s their website?
christi’s brother’s band is playing in the san jose half marathon. she’s gonna be running in it. i’m gonna be watching the band play. that’s about as close as i think i’ll ever get to running a half marathon.
Vix – thanks for the vote of confidence.
Vanessa – you want to run a horse trail? ewwww. smelly. and not to mention the possibility of tripping over something smelly. Whose website?
Wilco – I think you should sit there, watch the band while eating a box of Krispy Kreme donuts. You’ll either drive the runners crazy with jealousy, or be buried under a flurry of evil looks by the health nuts.
