I tell them all the work is done and regardless of how it has gone, the key thing is to relax and realize that the months of training are more important than the last two weeks, so relaxing and letting that training come to fruition is most important.

The Blergh and the Arch Sprain (Take 2)

(I am a web developer by trade and the margins on the other post were driving me INSANE. So I fixed it)

If you haven't seen this comic strip by the Oatmeal, it is everything that I think while I run.

Especially the part about vanity, eating my face off, and the Blergh, the little fat me who follows me and tells me I need to quit while I am ahead.

The Blergh is what I fight against, daily. 

But today's foe is more annoying.

I apparently have an arch sprain in my right foot. 



What the front door, man.

I don't think it's that bad, but it's still annoying. The less I'm on it, the better off I'll be. (Thanks to Mackenzie at Valens Physical Therapy for being the bad news bear.)

So it's time for RICE (rest, ice, compression, elevation). Luckily, I have a date with an old friend tomorrow, and it's 10 BILLION degrees outside.

Speaking of which, my heart rate was at a nice 90-95% the whole run. I'm sure that's healthy. 

In other news, I need to get new shoes.
