various Thursday ramblings...
Well I am sitting here with the movie “Hidalgo” on in the background and since I have nothing pressing to do right now, I thought I would post a little entry.
Today was a pretty good day. Snow flurries started falling in the early afternoon and pretty much carried on until almost evening. There wasn’t any accumulation but it was kind of pretty.
I went for my run this afternoon. I must admit that I wasn’t really into it 100%. In fact, right from the start I felt a little tired but I finished everything up as scheduled. I think the big problem was that I had on too many layers..Sweats and long johns, thermal undertop, tshirt, sweatshirt and a zip-up hooded sweatshirt. As the snow flurries melted, all of that clothing got wet (plus the sweat) and it kind of added quite a bit of resistance to the effort-not to mention it wasn’t comfortable.
I still haven’t decided on the marathon thing, even though I have begun training for it. This past Monday I must have slept in the wrong position because I woke up with pretty severe back pain. I got through the day finally but by Tuesday morning the pain was so intense that I just stayed home and kept a hot pad on it. By Wednesday I was back up and around but it still hurt quite a bit..and by Thursday it felt good enough to run which I did…
The reason that I mention all of this is because I wasn’t able to run on Tuesday which kind of threw a wrench in my training schedule.. It’s just one day but it irked me to have to miss a day.
So anyway, as of right now I figure I will train for the marathon for a few weeks and see how I do. Then, once I have a better grip on my abilities and conditioning I can decide. Plus even though I can’t think of any reason why I couldn’t run-I still want to get the ok from my doctor. It wouldn’t be much fun after all to die.
I really don’t have too much else to write about so I will go ahead and close this post. I hope everyone is doing well..take care.
