I had a lot of stuff going on plus I didn't feel like writing so i missed out a few days. I did however stick to my running plan.
Sun 25
I ran the Xterra Halfmarathon. The best race I have ever run. Stunning views, amazing ascends and descends, and fun people. I did ok, actually i thought i will do better but the up and downs tore my quads up. I have to admit that training in Flagstaff puts me in a better spot than most other runners. On every prominence bigger or smaller i overtook people, however on the descends i was weak. I don't why. I wasn't pushing especially hard on the ascends. In fact i tried to control my ascends like on training. But on the descends i saw how hard others where pushing so i followed suit. Never in my life was i going down that fast on rocky trails and still i was a mediocre compared to most.
Time 1h57min. 8th in age group and 40th out 230.
I took Mon 26 off and went to Chad, the acupuncturist. This guy works wonder. My shin feels a lot better. and i didn't feel it during the halfmarahon. I did however feel it on Tue.
Tomorrow is Sat 31. Mom, Chuck and I are going kayaking! to the same spot we went lost time. I asked Chuck to show me how to roll a kayak. We'll see what comes out of that ;) fingers crosses people!
