This past Saturday was a BIG day. My running group had another 20 mile run and I knew from the night before that it wasn't gonna be a great run for me. I am training for the LA Marathon and I run long runs on Saturday mornings w/ my running group. Here's the thing, this past week my training was shit because of recovering from Coachella (too much walking around, binge eating/drinking, and not enough exercise, but tons of dancing) and a lil knee pain from last week, so needless to say I knew Saturday's run wasn't going to be the best 20 miles I'd run. Oh, it didn't help either that at about mile 4 I took 3 secs to look down at my waist pack while I tried to grab some shot blocks before one of our water stops, and in that 3 seconds I hit a fire hydrant head on w/ my right thigh.
"That fucker came out of nowhere!"
Needless to say I have a HUGE knot on my right thigh that is various shades of black, blue, purple, and red...not pretty, not pretty at all!!! It's swollen, and it hurts! Also, when I ran into the hydrant I think my face turned various shades of the same black, blue, purple, and red. I'm fine now, but it was so embarrassing and so early into the run...sheesh!
So the count down has begun. Four weeks until the big day, May 25th is the L.A. Marathon!
