2010 Training: its always something

2010 Training

bc i need to talk about everything, i'm using this space to talk about my workouts and general training experience as i train for three endurance events that are completely new to me in 2010. perhaps if i record my goings on here, my friends will not have to put up with my boring ramblings. i decided to start tracking my training for the national half and eventually for the other two endurance races i'm taking on (gulp) this year.

i also would love for roosk and anyone else who is training for the national half (or anything!) to join in. I think its great motivation to share stories and accomplishments. i know i have been inspired on more than one occasion by 'listening in' on similar discussions. so, if you'd like to join me, send a note to anne dot paterson at gmail dot com or just use the 'submit' link below.

if i'm all alone, it will still serve its purpose to protect the ears of those who love me:)

first stop, the national half marathon,

its always something

a few weeks ago it was my back and now its my knee.

saturday i rode 100 miles of nowhere. recap here.

it was great. really great.

but some of my laziness (misaligned left cleat and seat not raised enough with new shoes) led to a knee injury that’s left me sidelined this week. i have been doing weights for my upper body and abs, but leaving my legs be. after 100 miles on the bike i think i’m okay for a bit. but i get so ANTSY. and honestly, when i fall out of my goove, its SO HARD to get back into it. my knee feels almost awesome today. not perfect. i need to rest at least another day maybe more, but i know it wont be a serious long term injury, which is good.

im not sure i’ll make it to my fav race this weekend though. its just a 10k, but i LOVE it for some reason and i had to miss it last year too. i’m a little down in the dumps about it all, but i’m sure once i’m back on my feet i’ll feel better about it all. i always do.
