So, the Manhattan Half is on Saturday, and it is going to be a cold one! I’m a little sad I’m not running this year, as it brings back fond memories of the cold 2009 edition. If you want to get a sense of what to expect, read my report from that race!
Back update – yesterday I wrote about the pain in my back, which inflicted itself on me on the subway Tuesday night. It is much better today. I am able to almost stand up straight and can walk with a significantly reduced limp! Yay for progress! The fact is, if I had a softball game today or a race, I’d be out there. Perhaps a little tight, but able to get it done.
Unfortunately, I have no plans tonight and my impulse is telling me to go and run. The prudent side of my brain is telling me to take a rest day, but the irrational side of my brain is telling me that we will have 4 inches of snow on the ground tomorrow morning and so you better run tonight, as there is a good chance I will not be able to run at all on Saturday too. I wonder who will win out…
