Well things have really slowed down a bit, but I was able to run in the Peachtree Road Race for the second time running this year. It was a miracle that I was able to finish relatively pain free (as most that graciously read this blog know, I've been hampered by a nagging hamstring injury for the last few months...mainly due to my stubbornness) but I was disappointed in my time, but that's what happens when you don't train accordingly.
Either way the Peachtree Road Race was a much much better experience than last year. It's very difficult to run a PR because there are too many gat dayum people but I suppose if you start sooner, that shouldn't be as much of an issue.
So anyhow I was pretty pleased with my performance, and mainly because I didn't stop (although my damn legs were killing me due to the hills) and the weather was FANTASTIC. I mean holy shit, you couldn't ask for better weather, something like high 60's. I mean wow, what a blessing that was.
Anyhow this definitely isn't my most attractive blog entry as of yet, but I had to post something because I've been taking a long ass time. Also, speaking of time, I decided it was time that I had to take off a few months to really let myself heal because this hamstring will get worse before it gets better. So I'll be working on strengthening up other areas, namely my ass, and right leg (which I believe is what caused my injury to begin with because of overuse due to my right leg being weaker)
So hopefully I'll be training soon, and with my recent move I have some major trails in the Atlanta metro area at my disposal. Anyhow appreciate the readers, thanks again.
