Wow, I have been a slacker with this blog. The reason? I have also been a slacker with my running.
Needless to say, I don’t feel the most prepared for the Malibu half marathon as I could be (or have been for others). But the race will be what it is. I did run 8 miles 2 weeks ago and before that, I could run 5 miles easily after taking 2 weeks off so I’m just hoping that all of this rest will turn out to be a good thing and not just completely hose me over.
But good news – I didn’t have ANY knee pain during that 8 mile run so the lack of running IS helping my IT band to recover. (No thanks to me though because I have also been a slacker on stretching!)
I am still looking forward to the weekend and the race though. I’m sure it will still be enjoyable, even if I don’t set any PRs or distance records.
I’ll post next week about how it went and how the race was.
Until then, have a great weekend!
