last week's goals:
- do everything possible to stop the cold i have coming on in its tracks: WIN! had 2 days of slightly scratchy throat, nothing else.
- 2 short runs before the race on saturday (one done, need to do one more with some strides): WIN!
- 2 core workouts: WIN! pilates + yoga
- foam roll legs completely: WIN!
- do not get hurt at 25k trail race on saturday! FAIL! caught my right big toe on a couple of rocks (twice within about 20sec!), nearly fell on my head 4 times, trashed my quads and glutes, and got major hotspots on the soles of my feet. i will probably lose my toenail, but at least my multiply-rolled ankle is feeling much better. my sweetie bought me "the stick" to work on my legs, since i'm too much of a weenie to try foam rolling right now. walking still sucks!
edit: i did make my goal time, despite busting myself at ~15k in and having to walk some sections afterward ;)
this week's goals:
- try to run 3 times. i don't really care how long or how fast, just need to get back out there.
- 2 core workouts
- maybe hit the pool, though it's pretty terrifying to think about hydrostatic pressure on my poor toe, and i should probably wait until it stops oozing fluid anyway.
- some easy cycling to spin my legs out a bit
- decide whether or not to do the kelso citizen CX race on sunday
- RECOVER for the horror hill 6-hour ultra on oct 30th!
cheers!
