Six days and counting down

by smthng 27. October 2008 06:56

My 8k run for Run! Geek! Run! is in six days...  I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be up to running the entire race, but I should be able to run at least half, then alternate running and fast walks for the remainder.

I went out for a run yesterday.  It wasn't easy, but it wasn't quite as bad as the torture I endured on Friday.  My pace was pretty poor, but I still managed my 20 minutes running and a few intervals on the way back.  My ankle was starting to complain, so I only did three intervals instead of my usual five.  I managed a couple of pretty serious pulls to my right ankle over the past year and I don't think it's quite "right" yet, so I'm being extra careful until I strengthen it up some more.

I did manage to get 4.2 miles for a total, so it's was still a pretty decent workout.

Since the race is Sunday, I should be able to get a run in on Tuesday and then on Thursday.  They're probably be pretty easy ones, as I need to make sure I'm okay for Sunday.  I'll only have Friday and Saturday for recovery before the race though, so I may scrap the Thursday run.  I'll make a judgement call on Thursday and decide then.
