Technically, I guess we could say that the training block has begun for a fall half marathon. We haven’t decided on what race we’re going to do, but it’ll be likely early to mid November given some other activities the husband is doing. Even though I am in the very beginning of a training block, I’m not yet really keeping tabs on the week for blogging purposes. I’ll probably get to that at some point although with a half marathon I’m not entirely sure. I never want to take it for granted that I can do a half marathon, but I will say the training blocks are never quite as intimidating or as intense as they are for a marathon.
i’ve been having the same leg/glute/back issue that I had two years ago. Pretty sure it’s just a flareup of my spine as that was what it was when I had the CT scan done two years ago (“consistent with aging” 🙄). It’s not debilitating, but it is frustrating and makes the runs not pain-free, which is always a little mentally challenging. I really had a hard time this week lacing up because I knew it would hurt and I hate that (not that anyone likes it!). I’ve taken PT a little bit more seriously the past two days and I can tell a small improvement so it’s just a matter of trying to keep on top for my own sake.
This week I really didn’t want to run hills so did two treadmill runs including 3x1 at HMP. It actually went well, paces a little slower than prescribed but only 7:45 to 7:38 so I’m good with that. The long run today was roooooough but I got in the 8-plus I wanted so I won’t complain further.
