Sadly, I have not had much happen in my world of training. This is not to say I haven't been training, but I just haven't been training toward anything specific. Which is a bit of a bummer because I planned on running CIM this year in hopes to erase 32 seconds off my marathon time. I am registered for CIM, but I am about 90% sure I'm not going to be running it for the second year in a row.
I still have not gotten past this achilles tendonitis/tendonosis that I have. I feel like I've tried almost every remedy anyone has told me to end up with the same result. I never stopped running until now because every doctor told me I could continue running just don't put in too many miles at once stick to 10%. I took months off from speed work, hills, and long runs only to still have the issue. I've rested, massaged, acupunctured, lifted, rolled, iced, heated, elevated, and cross-trained to the point where I just don't know that it is going away. I finally decided when I crossed the finish line at Vineman I would take time off completely from running. Hence this is where I'm at. I've been good about working out, but I'm just not excited about anything right now with this issue.
Right now I'm 31 days of 42 without running or tae bo or boot camp and I'm not feeling much of a change. I just don't know what to do at this point. I'm frustrated and bummed out, especially since I was accepted into a masters program and I know that means I probably won't have much marathon training time come the winter. I love cycling, but sometimes I just want to do some running and jumping, especially if I have a forced off season.
