I’ll take that Run
Last year I signed up with Luke’s Locker and trained all summer for the 1/2 marathon held in November. Training was going fantastic. I started off with the running and about six weeks later I joined LA Fitness and began pushing some weights. Everything was going as planned. I was in great shape, better than I am now. About a month before the race I tore my calf. Unfortunately, it did not heal before the race. Once again I joined Luke’s Locker this year. There’s been many setbacks. My surgery, a couple of trips, a quad injury and the whole catabolic thing. So, yesterday I did what any person with a competitive spirit would do, I registered for the the 1/2 marathon in December. This race has been on my mind. I can only run 6.2 miles right now (I’m halfway there) and only have 22 days before the race. Have you ever set out to do something and for some reason or another you just didn’t get there? That becomes an old skeleton in the closet, rattling, taunting and haunting. I’m showing up for that race, I won’t be the first to cross that finish line, I won’t be the last, but I will be one of the few that does.

I have no doubt that you will finish the race, but can you do it in those boots??

I admire your determination and wish you all the best…I’m sure you can do it. Also I once tore my calf muscle and it hurt like hell and still doesn’t look right many years later!

You’re right Bryan, my calf hasn’t felt quite the same since. I have to be careful when working it out.
As for you Mr. CJ….you’s funny! LOL.
Thanks for the good luck!

Is that the White rock Marathon?

Good luck. 22 days may be a little rough, but if you look at it like a long run you’ll do fine. I started running again Oct 1, and ran a 1/2 marathon 5 weeks later. Enjoy your journey
