Week of Pain
Posted in Personal, Sports by George
I’m naming this past Sunday, the 12th, through this Thursday, the 16th, the “Week of Pain.” I have decided to give myself a challenging week of athletic endeavors just for the heck of it.
On Sunday I raced a 10k. The 10k (6.2 miles) distance itself is not incredibly challenging, as I run regularly throughout the year, but a race always makes me sore. Especially when it’s my first race in about five months, and I’ve just really started training well again after an IT band injury.
Tomorrow (Tuesday), I’m going on a 100 mile bike ride with my college roommate, Steve. I haven’t been on a bike since early June. Hello sore back!
On Thursday, I’m going on a 17-19 mile long run.
All of these days have required or will require waking up well before 6am.
I’m still looking forward to it, though. I know it will hurt on Thursday night, but I just love setting weird goals like this an accomplishing them. I suppose that’s why I’m starting law school this Friday as well.
Anyways, just wanted to write this on here for some reason. Hope everyone else is having an exciting week.
