I am lucky and perhaps a bit crazed.
Yesterday I had a visit with our family Doctor to discuss Pain Management, the "Main" pain I deal with comes after I get "Slammed". That term for anyone new to my blog refers to a day in which my running is directed to short sprints to the "Head" "John" "Loo" "Bathroom" or whatever happens to be available at the time. I imagine I should just buck up and take it but after a mere ten or so repeats, things get sore downstairs and I would just assume take a pill then "Tough It Out".
Anyway, I explained to the Doc that I intended on running a 50K+ in hot humid weather and then turn around to drive ten hours the next morning to add four days of hiking in the High Peaks Area near Lake Placid, New York. She was kind, agreeing I may not be feeling quite "Peachy" as I arrived in New York; she prescribed something that might help.
So..................On with the unknown. I'm apprehensive especially since I tweaked my Achilles tendon carrying something heavy a couple of days ago but I'm as ready as I have ever been.
I would like to recognize a few of my training partners for all the hours we have spent together over the past couple of months; Craig, Larry, Randy, Steve and Dennis. I have enjoyed the hours, heat, hills and conversations that made time fly and training fun. Of course I also enjoyed a cold beverage and good conversation after our runs concluded !
Good Luck to Me and To All
Mike
