Countdown to Austin Marathon

Countdown to Austin Marathon

Weekly 9/5 9/12 9/19

Wow that three weeks went by really fast.  Kassidy has started Soccer, Brock has started baseball, bought a new car and I have been very busy at work.  The other day I put in a vote for 26 hour days, I think with 2 extra hours I would be able to get everything done.

Over the last three weeks I have had to fight a rib injury for the first two and an ankle injury for the last two.  ICE has become a huge friend of mine.  This last Saturday they brought two trash cans full of Ice Water to stand in after the run.  The first two minutes were hell but after that everything went numb.  As I am writing today I must say the whole body feels really good. 


Lessons Learned:
KFC two hours before a run is not recommended.

ICE is my friend.

Running in a Group is a lot of fun and makes the time fly.  (Thanks to all my Round Rock Fit friends)


Could I run a marathon next week?
It is starting to feel like a real possibility.
