Under Trained

At this point I am resigning myself to the fact that I will be going into the Hot Chocolate 15K under trained.   I was hoping to have a chance for a long run over the weekend. . It didn't happen, and it's not going to happen before the race at the end of the month either. I have completed a few runs though, just nothing over the 4-5 mile range.  And while I expect to do a lot of walking over the next few weeks, there's no running in my short term future.

What is it that they say?  Better under trained than over trained?  I sure hope that turns out to be true!

  3. You can do this!! I think it might help to have a short walk every mile. This helps to get your breathing back and "stretches" out your legs. Have fun!!

  4. Be careful!!!! Give yourself permission to back off or walk if you need to. One race is not worth injuring yourself!
