This is trail running to me..
I cried enough to my bosses that they are finally allowing me to move to Klamath Falls. So by the end of this month, I am going to move there and get a house on the side of a mountain so that I can run out my door and be on trails. That is where I will become a mountain trail running master. There is also a masters swim team in Klamath Falls that I am going to join too, so hopefully I will be able to get back enough of my swim fitness that I will be able to do an open water race or two this summer.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that I have been resting my Achilles enough that it won't become a chronic injury. It felt fine today, but it still has been giving me some problems at work.My groin on the other hand felt like a screw driver was in there prying at my tendons for the entire run. I will be having surgery done on it when I get back to Minneapolis after this job is over. The Doctor tells me that I probably won't hurt it any worse than it already is if I keep running on it, as long as I can put up with the pain.
I'll admit I don't understand the body well enough when it comes to LD running, but isn't surgery a last resort? Does the surgeon plan on going in and reattaching the groin muscle at the origin? I hope you can still do the GLE with me. Good to hear you moving to Kumouth Falls as well.
