Ugh. I've got this race coming up on Sunday, but have been having knee problems. I've been running 4 to 8 miles before I have problems over the last month and don't want to have problems early and end up hurting myself worse, but I really want to run it. However, I took last week off and it's been feeling really good.
I'm trying to figure out if I can take the risk and gut it out or if I just need to rest it for a month. http://www.marathonmajic.com/EventIn...eMountain.html http://www.marathonmajic.com/HalfMarathon-Elevation.pdf

This Sunday I am doing my first 50K, its a trail race at Trail Of Tears State Park in Jackson Mo.
Kind of intimidating but I have done 3 full marathons and its only another 5 miles but its on narrow trail and pretty hilly. Hope to do it in about 5.5 hrs. My marathon PR is 3:30:02 so that kind of gives you an idea of the difference in trail and road running. |

That's my worry. I've got a race in Montreal coming up on November 3rd, and I really want that t-shirt. Plus, all of the hills in this week's race are risky since it's downhills that are my big problem for my knee. I really want to run it because I like the trail races, and my knee is feeling good right now, but I don't want to screw up both this race and the Montreal one.

Yeah, I love one mile of downhill, but 4 straight miles of downhill isn't that productive. I just like hills in general, though.

Speaking of tech shirts, I was very happy with how the Blerch shirts turned out.

My first mistake was timing my pre-race bathroom break wrong. I had to stop and use a porta-potty at mile 4 and that took a minute or so away from me. Thinking back, I should have left my corral, went to take a leak, and then just started with the next wave. Then, at mile 22 I started having side cramps that I could not get rid of. My 25 was my worst. I had to stop several times to stretch and breathe because of the side cramp. But I was able to pick it back up and finish the last 1.2 almost at pace. I want to do it again next year to get it right. |

Carnation is a beautiful, sleepy, little town. Still fairly close to the Seattle area as well. Great place. Couple of good eating spots in Duvall, I wish I'd known you were going.
