OH CRAP!!!!

Well only 3 weeks to go until the race and today I pulled my calf muscle. I was running on Merry Creek Trail when half way in I felt a tug, a couple more steps and I heard a "pop". The worst part was that I had to hobble out for 2.5 kms. I am in quite a bit of discomfort and not sure if it will heal in time. The achilles took almost 6 weeks to heal with physio therapy and this feels worse.

I am going to contact the organizer of the race and see if I can have someone run for me and enter into a team competition. I guess this is what you get as you get closer to the big 5-0. I must admit my body is tired and I am losing my enthusiasm, I have trained for over 6 months and am anxious to participate now. After this is over, I am taking up chess.

You will notice that this is the first post with no picture because it would just be a sad face. :(
