Where to go from here?
So as I recover I'm left with the question of --- What Next?!
My legs were SO sore yesterday. I could barely walk. Today they're slightly better, but going down stairs isn't really pleasant just yet. I think this is perhaps the worst factor from running the race on the weekend without much running in the weeks before ---- my recovery time is going to suck from this because I basically just shocked my muscles into submission. At this point my legs are still randomly spasming.... Running for the bus isn't even an option, let alone something I'd even consider!
Awww well though. This too shall heal soon enough. And then we're faced with the question of -- What next?
The Chilly Half-Marathon is in March 2007. That one's usually the first major race of the year for most of the runners in the area......... and is a nice way to lead into Spring/Summer running. But that said --- a half in March means running OUTSIDE in January & February! I'm not sure I have the stamina for that! Let alone the desire!
But the Hamilton Around-the-Bay 30k race is March as well ---- that's one I'd really like to do this year. Which basically means I should probably resign myself to running in the snow. We'll see.... I guess we won't have any really packed stuff until Januaray........... bah!
So at the end of the Half - Toby (my friend who ran me in) --- told me that if I just finished strong I'd never have to run again! At the end of the race I think I was willing to hold him to that.......... now........ well, I guess we'll see!

A half marathon in march/april sounds great. The training is not as time consuming as the one for a full. I love running in the snow!!! You can do it girl =)
