Pass the malaise, please
Posted on 28. Jan, 2007 by Brad in Training
My training is in the crapper. After weeks of not being busy with work, now I am working 12-hour days and usually don’t see sunlight during the week (unless I leave the building). This weekend I was busy and didn’t have time for a training run. I had scheduled to run with Deborah on Saturday but we both had too much to do and called it off. Then I had planned on checking out Lake Mineral Wells SP or Fort Richardson SP but plans to get in an afternoon run on Saturday fizzled. After a new NTTR member alerted me to the nice length of trail at Mineral Wells, I must go check that out soon.
So with less than a week to go until my longest race to date, my base is crumbling. Not the best way to gear up for the rest of the season, but sometimes things just don’t work out. I’m anxious to consider a couple more races in February, but I have to wait and see how Rocky Raccoon goes first. I’m also eying a few other out-of-state races but I should probably stick to what I’ve got for now.
Speaking of out-of-state, my pre-race packet for FANS arrived in the mail. After reading through the information, particularly the section describing the course, I’m really excited about it. The concrete portion isn’t as bad as I thought. It also sounds like there are some good facilities (restrooms in several locations, showers in 1, and 2 aid stations on the 2.42 mile loop). June 2 sounds so far away!
