"but you're an athlete so you'll do fine." music to my (murph's) ears: i started physical therapy today, with 6 weeks to race day. they told me not to worry, i'm fit enough to stay training AND getting treatment for injured feet. it's a nervous line to walk, but as andrea said: it's a question of endurance, and not just enduring over distance during the race but enduring over time and struggle as we get ready.
i've been away from the blog because: morale has been a little low for me since my feet have started hurting. i was SO juiced up that training was going so well this year compared to marathon training, where i was injured from the 2nd week until race day. so it was a hard hit to have to slow down, rest, heal, and - as andrea said- feel like everyone is passing me by. but i have to run my race on race day, not anyone else's on the team. so i need to practice for my race, not theirs, and my practice demands rest and PT for now.
in a week or two i'll be back to spoon feeding people my dust (heh heh heh).
putting the BIKE CD in the mail tomorrow. feeling a little deadbeatish for not being more on top of creating and sending out these mixes, but i want to do them well and time is tight with training, traveling, and living. this weekend i'll squeeze in 2 workouts while i'm home alone: andrea is off in chicago at a very good friend of ours' wedding. why am i not there? bc i'll be at a wedding upstate tomorrow. love is in the air!
meanwhile: if yer waiting on the cd, i'm doing my best. demand has overwhelmed, which is awesome, but i'm getting guilty. time to pick it up. watch yer mailbox.
