Am I Ready???

Well, that's a common question I've received in the past few days. I guess my response is, "Ready or not, here I come!" Let's see... a day before I leave and I'm making my final preparations. Working from home, I can multi-task.

Here is where things stand: Monday was my last run - 4 miles. Ran with Chandra along a trail in Plano. It was muggy and windy, but we kept it short because I was still sore from Saturday's 12 miler. This week my muscles have relaxed. The only worry I have on Saturday morning is my back. Yes, it's still flaring up.

I've tried a few back stretches that my father showed me. And I've done what I can not to agravate it. However, it's still causing some problems. On Saturday when I ran with Jason/Chandra, the first 2 miles were incredibly miserable. The pain was so strong that it effected my breathing. I was thinking of stopping, but then it went away. So, while I'm still having some "flare ups" this week, overall it's not as bad as it's been.

The link for me to setup the "tracking" is on this site: www.bimrace.com. If I can get it setup, I'll post instructions. However, my phone doesn't appear to be compatible at the moment.

Well, wish me luck! And Chandra! And Jason! We're going to need your thoughts and prayers... 2.5 hours of running. Wow!
