Gotta say, at the moment, training is not going so well. The motivation is there, but the legs are not showing up.
Granted, for a very long time this summer, the motivation was not there for me, so I did not train as much. Add to that three long trips without much training, and there's not much of a mystery as to why I'm not at my peak.
Mostly, my hamstrings and calves are quite tight. Feels like I've got a golf ball in each calf now. I didn't make much more than a mile on the run this morning.
What does that mean for my race schedule? Well, I still want to try them all, I'm just going to have to go into them with little to no expectation of performance. Unfortunate, for somebody who usually expects a ton out of himself, but that's reality for the moment. I'll just keep plugging away, and train when I can.
Hopefully an ice bath and a break today will help. Meanwhile, I"m off to finish my summer research.
