Running again - Hallelujah

 

This has been about the worst series of events in running ever. I FINALLY was feeling good last summer. I was ready for CIM 2024.  I began the speed phase... and on Day 1 of speed work I tripped and pulled my left hamstring on August 9th..and have been injured ever since (today is November 29th)

I'm going to physical therapy. I'm doing leg exercises. I'm biking non-stop....but...my dream is to run again and do the Boston marathon in 2026. I will do that, but I need to qualify first. My plan was to qualify at CIM 2024, but that's next weekend and not going to happen ;)

Next plan is Mountains to Beaches in Ventura in 2025. so as of today I have 4.5 months to meet the Boston qualifying time for 65 of 4:05.  I plan to be much faster of course.
