I have been going to the gym almost daily. I use the rowing machine, the eliptical and the bike for 15-20 each. I also do a few weights. I have continued to run a couple of times a week. On the 9th we drove to Quesnel. Greg and I ran from the hotel to the farm (about 14K) on the 10th. I finished in just over 90 minutes which was ok considering that I stopped to talk to John who had come to the farm to pick up some of his equipment. My legs were a bit sore but the groin was fine.
On the 16th I did 10K at the Cannery Road Race and finished in just over an hour. I felt fine. Jackie and Gail both did their half marathons and both were in pain after. But they finished!
On the 20th we did a quick run out to the SPCA and back and again I felt fine.
Today we ran out to Ridley. We turned back just after the cutoff which is about 100m past the 8K marker. I got there is just under 50 minutes but I took about 53 to get back. That puts me on track for 2 hour 15 minute half marathon which was my original goal. For a time, I thought I might have been able to cut about 10 minutes off that but with the limited training while healing this injury, I know that is unlikely.
Over the next couple of weeks, I plan to run 5K on Thursday and 10K next Sunday. I may run part of the route on the Thursday night when we get to Victoria to see what it is like, but other than that, I just want to get this over with.
