Running...not so much

Grrr. Typical me...ants in my pants! Walking fast was progressing in short spurts, so I added in an occasional run, here and there. Then a quarter of a mile for every mile. Then a half a mile for every mile. Then a mile or so at a time and kablam...cranky, swollen knee. Shit.

Dialing it back to walking again and hitting about 12 min/miles for some moderate distance...9 miles and 13 miles respectively.

At this point, form be damned, I am going to get thru IM any way I can...starting with good form race walking, then bad form race walking, a wee bit of running, some trudging, crawling if I need to. Running and I are no longer friends.

Next up, a well placed cortisone shot and some Hyalgan, which seemed to do pretty well as a lube last go round. Totally considering shifting gears next year and trying the Leadville 100 MTB race or something of the sort...that belt buckle is BADASS!
