Well it was expected.
Between Salt Flats and a horrendous Jemez Mountain Trail Run (which was called due to weather-3 inches of snow and sub freezing temperatures, 10 miles from the finish) I have been fighting right knee and soleus injuries. However my prospects are good with a little bit of rehab, cross training and hamstring strengthening. Starting up with the pack runs has also added to the downward spiral. Fortunately I have been keeping the weight to no more than 10 lbs for now. Dang that slows you down! I estimate that for every 10 lbs your average pace drops at least one minute per mile.
Hopefully I'll be able to up my rest and really get back into the game before my mileage is suppose to pick up.
My medical has also been scheduled. Between work and racing I must get two or three of these a year now!
