What started as a promising fall racing season with a Labor Day half marathon quickly stalled back into low mileage weeks. I took the week off after Disneyland due to a stomach bug. Halfway through my second run the following week I got a knot in my right calf. 4 weeks and 2 deep tissue massages later and knot still there, I saw my chiropractor and was diagnosed with a trigger point. I had an acupuncture treatment on the calf that immediately relieved the knot. 2 miles into a run the next day the knot was back. I had my 2nd acupuncture treatment earlier this week and haven't run yet. So far the knot isn't back but I'm kinda afraid to run on it.
I only have 2 remaining races left on my schedule. If I were elite, I'd pull a Ryan Hall and scratch the races. I will run both remaining 1/2's (well run and walk I'm sure given my present fitness status) and then have 3 months before my next race.
Here's hoping for a better 2011.
