11 weeks down, 5 to go. Still injured, waiting for doctor for go/no-go. The prudent thing is to rest, take it easy, and not push. There's still time to try to shoot for the full marathon, if not just the half marathon. In the end, it's okay whatever way it turns out: full, half, or simply skip. There's always another race to run, when I'm fully healthy. So, mentally, I'm totally okay with it ... and appreciate the rest. I don't like to get caught up beating myself up mentally over being hurt or injured, it's really not worth it. Just get some rest, take it easy, heal up, then pick yourself up, and move on. That said, it was a busy work week.
Monday: DIY Yoga. Skipped. Was OOT at a conference for work. Cranked for 9 hours, then had dinner and slept. Very tiring being on my feet all.
Tuesday: 4x1600m intervals. Skipped. Beat from the day before and a late night, and another 9 hours on the floor. Decided to go to bed early and just rest.
Wednesday: DIY Yoga. Skipped. 9 more hours on my feet, and mentally exhausted. Headed home very late that night.
Thursday: 8 mile temp. Skipped. By early afternoon, I think the past several days of being on my feet caught up with me. I was exhausted. I slept forever.
Friday: P90X or Hatha Yoga. Wanted to go, but didn't. Was testing my knee to see if I could exercise and it felt tweaky still. Appointment with my doctor is set for next week, so I didn't want to go start running again without her taking a look at it.
Saturday: 20 mile LSD run ... turned into a very easy 10-mile bike ride around the neighborhood. Knee felt great for the hour I was out, and the sunshine was fantastic. I miss riding my bike, it's one of the most exhilarating and freedom filled activities there is.
For next week, here's the schedule. A lot depends on what the doctor says, but we'll see how it goes.
M: Power Flow Yoga
TU: 12x400m intervals
W: Hatha Yoga
TH: 5 mile tempo
F: P90X Yoga
SA: 15 mile LSD run
SU: Rest
