This weekend it got cold enough that we decided it was time to hook up the furnace. Strange thing living here in NM, at least in our house, we need to decide if we want the cooler hooked up or the furnace. Can't have both. I also needed to pull out my winter running gear. It was 32 deg at the start of my run Saturday morning.
This coming weekend is the Duke City Marathon. They also have a half marathon, 10K, and 5K. I'm running the 10K. Several folks in our running group are doing the marathon relay. We have a couple running the half. I don't think anyone is doing the full this year. This race signifies the end of our running group's season. We'll take a break as a group and reconvene at the end of February. Some of us run during the winter, some don't.
I'd like to keep running, but my knee has been bothering me enough that I think I'll take a break starting after the race until I've completed the series of injections and get the clear to run again. Maybe this time I'll keep some momentum alive with walking and swimming. Or not. Guess time will tell.
But as for this week, I've still got a few more training runs. Packet pick-up Saturday. And going after a 10K PR on Sunday.
I love this season. Perfect for a PR! Go get it.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great plan to let the knee heal up. Have a great race. I;m sure you'll get that PR
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have some cooler weather -- it feels so good to run in (at first). Take care of the knee.
ReplyDeleteGood luck at the 10K! I hope your knee behaves during this last week of training. I felt mentally ready to run today, but my right foot and calf are still hurting so I decided to give it another day or so.
ReplyDelete32 sounds VERY cold in NM. Does it usually get that cold? Good luck with your race this Sunday!
ReplyDeleteYou go girl! Get that PR then sit by the fire for a while :)
ReplyDeleteGrab that PB!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs actually broke down and turned our furnace on last week..I was in shock. It was a Fall miracle.
Make the most of your last race then rest up the knee. Winter running gear sounds good to me about now. Probably cuz I'm not running. :(
ReplyDeleteKick some 10K butt this weekend!!!
ReplyDeleteHave fun at the 10K!
