I have definitely been MIA for the past couple months. It's been a combination of things, the foremost being I forgot how to actually post on the blog, yup I'm an idiot. But along with that I had a pretty substantial ankle injury that bogged me down for the past 4 months. My last official race was the 25k Champs in May, which went pretty well, but starting the day after I couldn't walk right for about 2 weeks. Then I kinda just decided well I better get back in shape quick cause I wanted to run Chicago. So I hopped into some workouts with a buddy of mine and well needless to say it never healed right. So for the past 4 months I went into this on and off again cycle which culminated in a "F this S***" and a three and a half week running vacation. So instead of running we bought a house, I caught a bunch of fish, and probably gained 10 pounds of beer weight.
So all that ended three weeks ago and I have currently been running about 8 to 10 miles a day at a decent pace. The ankle still gets sore every now and then but for the most part I'm pain free. You would think being a PT and all I would be able to cure myself, but ask any PT and they will tell you we don't make the best of patients.
Anyway I'm finally starting to get psyched up again for probably the biggest 4 months of my running career to date. The main races being Fort Collins Turkey day 4 mile, CLUB NATS, and of course the trials in Houston. Let me just stress that CLUB NATS is gonna be awesome. My old team in So Cal started another Adidas sponsored running club and well we have beat them, period. So I'll be there in full force, and hope you guys and gals will catch fire and get pumped for the awesomeness that is CLUB NATS!
