I skipped a step between the post at the end of August and the one earlier today. I should have filled in the blanks for you guys reading this:
At the end of August I went to do that long run and couldn't make 8 miles - I had to stop after 6 :(. 4 days later I was still limping so I go to my trusty orthopaedic who says "Lay off it for 3 weeks" like it was as easy as skipping desert just one night! My head goes wacky when I can't run, not to mention what happens to my waistline.
So starting back up the 3rd week of September at 6 miles and trying to get to 13 in one month just isn't smart. So, I talked with Team in Training and they agreed and understood.
Anyway, now trying to make up miles and looking for advice as to how to do this without re-injuring myself. Please comment!
Oh, and another question: lately I keep reading about ice baths (Runner's World, Triathlete, Bicycling). Who has ACTUALLY, willingly sat in a tub of ice for 10 minutes??? Does it deserve the rave reviews, or is it raving lunatics taking ice baths? Please comment on this also.
