The last week or two have been stressful....trying to get physically ready to race Lake Placid, while trying to prepare to leave my office for a week. Well, I finally punched out today....and will leave the fate of my firm in the capable hands of those I employ! Now I get to put my full focus on LP....my seventh ironman. Two weeks ago I was ready to roll...but now...I'm just hoping to run. Sunday I had an ez run scheduled...so I decided to save the legs and do it on the soft surface of the Battle Road in Concord. I was running very ez...but about halfway in, I felt a tweak in the right calf muscle. It was slight...but it was there. Now it's really got me nervous. I've been icing, and massaging....and today I saw my fantastic chiropractor, Peter McManus, who did some Graston and ultrasound on it. All I can do is keep my fingers crossed.
Anyway, at this point, I'm just about packed up and ready to go. I leave early tomorrow morning....solo. Jenn isn't coming up until Thursday night. I'm eager to get up there....just to shift focus away from my everyday stresses. I've been a little neglectful posting recently...but I'll try to do a better job once I'm up there.
