Everyone who thinks their life is boring raise your hand... Nobody? The past 2-3 weeks have been above and beyond busy. While we all have these periods of time, it's easy to start putting things on the chopping block. Yard work, homework, housework, exercise, and sleep are some of the first responsibilities to be cut in our household. While the latter two may not seem like responsibilities they are the last two things that should be put on the chopping block. Finding the proper balance is the greatest difficulty in life. A lack of sleep and exercise led our family into a dark hole this past week. In that hole we found a lovely virus that is relentless. As we claw our way out of the hole the light is near.
I, Josh, began running last week after a short break due to a shoe mishap and the mother of all scheduling conflicts. I eased myself back into running as to not injure myself, but was unsuccessful. While my injuries are minor (a sore patellar ligament and a contusion on one of my tarsal bones), they have required attention to ensure they stay minor. I've cut my mileage in half, am icing on demand, and have begun strengthening exercises for my sore knee.
Let us know how your preparations are going by posting to this blog. If don't know how, give us a call and we'll help. We hope that everyone has put 3-31-12 on their calendars and is enjoying their preparations for race day.
