In all runners lives there comes the time when you just go to hard, to far, or to fast. Well I did it and now I am hurt and no running for at least a week but more than likely 2. I thought at first I had just run of the mill shin splints. As it turns out I have Achilles Tendinitis. To much to soon and to much hill and stair/bleachers work. So here I sit. The pain actually started just before Disney but I figured screw it. ( if I knew then I would get his I still would have run it) So it seems that I may sit out the Police and Fire Games Half marathon as it is in 2 weeks I will have no training time. I am OK with it though, the Marathon is the important race and I would rather sit here for a bit to insure I can do that. I will heal I and I will keep you both up to date. On a good note My son is starting tomorrow against his old school his thoughts on that are "hopefully I came make someone bleed" so apparently there is no love lost between him and his old coach. That story is pretty interesting, Long story short he informed the coach he could not attend Football Camp because he had a commitment (that commitment was crewing for a friend at Badwater) and he said "what about your commitment to this team" which really pissed my son off. I have to say it pissed me off to. You see we are a football family and we live in the desert he was out pretty much all summer twice twice a day at football practice and he questioned his loyalty. Now that was at a private school. He soon decided he wanted to go back to the public school. He claimed the educational opportunities are better he is in accelerated everything except world history which is AP . But I believe the old coach was the last straw. But he is happy.
OK that is it for today I will keep you up to date on the healing and on the first runs when they happen.
be careful out there
