AM - went in to the doc and found out it was a guaranteed hernia. That sucks! I told him that I would like to hold off until after the marathon. He was ultra-hesitant, but then gave me the go-ahead.
After that news, I decided to take a rest day after the big day yesterday. I didn't get to bed until after 1:00 AM, so it was quite an easy sell to my brain.
PM Went to the track to get some starts in and to run a flight of hurdles. When I started with my 800 warm-up, I felt terrible. It was like I was breathing heavy after the warm-up, so Ijust set up a flight of hurdles ran one set of 110s at 75%, then ran over 8 @ 5 steps apart to work on form. I asked Laur to time me in one set and I got through 6 at that point I bailed out because I couldn't even reach in 3 steps. Just too tired. I took the kids to the LV park and "jogged" two laps around the park and then called it quits for the day. |
