Other than a Christmas Eve rain-out, I stuck to the training plan pretty well this week, which is a good thing considering all the good food that came through the house and found its way into my belly.
Running gifts received by AB and I this week included a new reflective wrist band for after-dark running, an Under Armor shirt for me, a Garmin 405 for AB, and a new running outfit for AB. She was stoked. Unfortunately, after our Christmas afternoon run she had a little hip flare-up. Probably because she was completely busting it up the hills on our route in her new Reebok running wear! Nothing like new gear to make you run fast. It always happens to me. I googled her symptoms Friday and decided that I think she has hip bursitis, but I'm no doctor. We decided she should probably take a full week to 10 days off to see if it'll heal on its own. I'm confident that it will, but the Mississippi Blues Half Marathon may be a no-go for her. Don't tell her that though. She still aspires to run Saturday. We'll see. It'll probably be a game-time decision.
Here's my miles for this week:
Monday: 6
Tuesday: 6
Thursday: 6
Friday: 4
Saturday: 10
Total: 32
I probably should have abstained from running Friday, but I couldn't help myself. My arches flared up a bit on my Saturday run, but are feeling good today, on this, my regular day off. I'll probably take it easy this week to be sure that I'm ready for the Blues Half Marathon Saturday.
