Wine & Dine is over (I promise a race report is coming soon) and now I'm onto the next one: The 2014 Las Vegas Rock and Roll Half. I'm pretty tired from the fun of the Disney race and weekend. I definitely did something wrong at that race because my back is killing me. I also registered for Goofy so I have a ton of training ahead of me.
As I picked up my bib last night (and realized that I am corralled WAY too far up), I thought back to when I registered for this race. I registered the night before the Disneyland Half Marathon with the thought that I'd "have fun" at Wine and Dine, then turn around and race Vegas. I had grand ideas of chasing 2 hours again.
Tonight, I sit here and pray just to finish the race under 2:30. Yep, 2:30. I'm not even close to where I was before surgery. It's a huge reality check for me. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I know I need to get back to a doctor and figure out some next steps. Surgery clearly didn't provide the relief I was hoping for (in brief, they just removed some floating pieces of cartilage; I still have a huge hole in my cartilage). Damn. I was hoping I wouldn't need more procedures.
I'm working on coming up with a new training plan, incorporating more PiYo for stretching and strength. I know Goofy is going to be really slow. I thought I'd be racing by Surf City Half, but now I'm not sure about that either. It's going to be a much longer road than I anticipated. BooHooooo. I'm done complaining. :)
