Peeking Back In
Man, I feel really bad about myself but I know that I shouldn't feel this way and that I'm doing more than most people would.The 5k that I was preparing myself for just started and I am still at in party clothes at home. I went to a snowflake making party (fraught with cookies, cocoa, posole stew, and frybread!) at my friend's house last night and when we got back to the apartment I ended up falling asleep on Superbad.
I feel like I always have these excuses for not making a goal and not running in general. I feel as though other people think that all I do is set these goals with out firmly being committed to them but I can't help what happens to me. After Thanksgiving day, I awoke on my mom's bed with a weird ache behind my right knee. When I got up to walk to the bathroom, I could feel sharp pains in both my ligaments (the huge ones, at least, I think they're ligaments. lol) and a little bit up the hammies. It stayed that way for almost a week and gradually faded out this past week. I don't know how I did it or what caused it but that has been my downfall.
I was doing so well too! In light of things, I ran a mile yesterday and did the elliptical for 10 minutes. I am going to make up the Fiesta Bowl 5k with the Reindeer Run 5k this coming weekend on the 15th.
The plan is to continue building a steady base of 3 miles/run and 12-15 miles a week til the end of the year. I am starting my marathon training at the beginning of 2008 with the goal of making to to Eugene, OR in May with the hubby. I hope all is well with you. :)
