Week 26

My run(s) is/are next weekend (7/8 Jan)!!!

I’m a little nervous but I’m hoping I trained enough with long runs to do okay. I never feel like I’ve run enough but really, it’s not like I’m doing this for a certain time just to complete the whole 39.3 miles. I developed a bit of an issue with my left calf after I got back from my Vegas TDY (I’m about 95% certain it had to do with the 40 mile bike ride I did the day after I got back) which, in turn, caused some running issues for me. Long story short, I didn’t get to finish the full 36-mile run like I had planned. I was having to decide between getting the miles in and possibly injuring myself or hoping that the 33 miles run I did get in was long enough to prop me up for the 39 and let my body heal. I went with the second choice.

I hope it was the right decision; at this point it has to be!
