It'd make me worry too much. And I like to be surprised by the pleasant stuff. <BR/><BR/>Willie, I think you are being smart by taking it a bit light right now. Last year when my running partner got hurt (shin splints), I kept saying to her, is it more important to do a long run thsi weekend or the marathon in 6 weeks? And she finally saw the light. <BR/><BR/>Make sure you ONLY do part of that long 20 miler, please!!<BR/><BR/>And by the way, thank you very much for your email earlier this week about pacing Reese. It all made a lot of sense.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835659350362562403.post-24030950462972247572009-02-26T21:04:00.000-06:002009-02-26T21:04:00.000-06:00In answer to your question in the post, nope, I wo...In answer to your question in the post, nope, I wouldn't want to know when the bad things are going to happen. I'd much rather maintain being an optimist and then dealing wit the bad when it happens. My husband would have a different answer, I think. He's more of a pessimist planner. :) <BR/><BR/>Glad the knee is feeling better! I think you have a great plan on "easing" the knee back into perfect running marathon shape. I don't think you have to worry about messing up your plan- your knee will tell you when you've messed up!<BR/><BR/>RYC: Yea, it does seem like forever on the bootcamp, huh?! It's only been 7 weeks. Strange. Anyway, I have one week of BC left and then it's back to running. However, I do think I'm going to join Crossfit to supplement my running. I'm going to be in killer shape for the summer and the marathon! :) Thanks for the props, you always make me feel so proud of myself.

I tried it and only lasted 5 minutes, but it did feel great afterwards.Mike Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18267362051369695129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5835659350362562403.post-84987998826407344512009-02-25T08:48:00.000-06:002009-02-25T08:48:00.000-06:00Sounds like a great plan!

What is that quote, "No plan survives first contact with the enemy"? :D So - good luck not "racing" that race - but um, yeah - good luck with that!Calyx Meredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00957579547686348722noreply@blogger.com
