Most appreciated one mile I have ever run.
For the first time in three weeks since my injury, I went to LA Leggers Saturday meeting place. Today is the day before the Pasadena Marathon, so my group is only going to do one mile to loosen up, we would attend the club meeting to discuss the LA marathon situation after.
People asked about why I was missing in action for weeks, we hang out a little bit then went for the one mile run. The mood was very light and relaxed, everyone talked and joked around. I felt no pain in my left heel and ankle, the run stretched me out, it was just what I needed. I know how much I miss running, but I didn’t really FEEL it until I went out there today. I was so happy to be out and moving, like I was meant to be.
The meeting afterwards were attended by hundreds of club members, we were encouraged to run the Surf City Marathon instead of LA because of the date change. Surf City will hold the space open for the Leggers because our club has been a big supportor over the years of the race. We will have to modify the training a bit, since the race is February 1st and LA was originally Feb 16th (now moved to May 25th). People had different opinion about whether to boycut LA and have everyone register the San Diego Rock N Roll. It was a good meeting.
I feel like now there is a course of actions laid out for me, I need to slowly get back to my training. I created a customized training schedule for the remaining days left until February 1st. It feels good to have a plan, now the challenge is to hold back and not get hurt again. :)
