Not a whole lot to report here
I’m three weeks back and I can say that it was like I never left. Aside from the new addition of some knee tenderness, the pain in the shin is back, and the balls of my feet are hurting since I am rebuilding the toughness (er…callouses of steel) that comes with running minimal.
I’m on the fence about a half marathon in Folsom in October since I don’t know how my knee will hold up. That coupled with a tight time of 2:45 to finish (which should be more than enough, but you never know) has me comcerned. I calendared out my running schedule through CIM and I would actually be running less that weekend by doing the half marathon. I have a feeling that I will sign up since Johnny Cash is in the race logo (and how cool would that be if it was on the medal too).
Gluten free has not been as bad as I had anticipated. Aside from eating the Salsa at Freeebirds (if it is freshly made, how do you all put preservatives in it?) I’ve done pretty good. Most restruants provide a few options and I have found a good Quinona pasta (I have to be able to eat spaghetti). I have tried two different gluten free pizza crusts (best thing I can say is they are not terrible). My friend (who’s wife has ciliacs disease) pointed me in the direction of a decent hot dog bun though. The issue is that going gluten free is expensive. A six pack of hot dog buns runs you over $6, a medium size bag of gluten free pretzels is roughly $6 too, and a small pizza can hit you for $14-$18. Ouch. I guess it means I'll eat less - a lot less.
I’ll probably check in every month or so until we get close to race time and things pick up again.
