I don't comment on everyone's runs . . . but I do like reading everyone's updates and how all of you are doingIt's encouraging.
1/2 Marathon just days away . . . And I crashed my mountain bike BIG TIME. I have Whiplash and a pulled hamstring. My neck and back is taped up as well as my hammy.
I can ride the recumbent bike today and tomorrow and then attempt a 2 mile run on Thursday. Doc said if I don't feel good by then, come see her and she'd tape me up again for Saturday's race. We'll see what happens . . .

You sound like my doc. She said not to leave home without both of those.

Nailed it this time
For my tempo run today I chose a route that was a bit flatter than what I did last week. 7.5 miles @ 9:17. Yay!
I was really noticing how my hydration belt was weighing me down - pulling my spine out of alignment and messing with my pelvic rotation. So besides the hills, I'm sure I could run that pace more comfortably without it.
Still gotta ride tonight. Our Wednesday club ride has been fizzling out, and when I chose to take yesterday as a rest day I wasn't really planning on riding tonight... but then I got a couple of takers this morning, after I was already committed to a tempo run today.
Well, they can kick my @ss again tonight. I happy.

Oak--Great job
My 1/2 is two days away. And I have a secret goal in my head that I can't bring myself to say out loud because its a real stretch for me . . .
But, here it is, I want to run a 2 hour half.
There. I said it.

Yay! I'm excited - I get to run after 12 weeks off recovering from a broken ankle. I think I will start back up tomorrow. I ran at the PT for 10 minutes yesterday. Iv'e been riding a lot... but I'm looking forward to running again. Maybe run / walk? Or maybe just a slow 2 miles?
I can do five more miles.

Odd thing happened this morning-- there were little drops of water falling from the sky... it's been a while since we've had any rain (like about a month).
Anyway, I did a nice tempo run in the rain and wind. Still having trouble maintaining a consistent pace; the first mile pretty much on target, but then I kept on speeding up every mile. Oh well. It's practice for running negative splits, right?
Good luck in your half, limewave! After a crash like you just had, I'd just be thrilled to finish!
