Ironman Louisville training window - 671 days
Columbus Half Marathon training window - 1 day
Well it’s been a while since I popped in and wrote about what has been going on. It is now about 11 hours until the Columbus marathon. I would like to be able to say that I am confident looking forward to tomorrow. I can’t really say that.
I believe that my last post mentioned that I was going to see the physical medicine doctor. He listened to my symptoms and ran a few checks and tests. He pronounced that my circulation in my legs was good as was my reflexes. He did say that he believed (with about 95% certainty) that my problem was related to a degenerative disk disorder. He let me know that almost everyone has it in some shape or form. Good news – I don’t need surgery. Bad news – there is nothing that they can do. I was told that I can help lessen the symptoms by losing weight and doing more core exercises. I continued my training but there wasn’t much time left.
Now I stand looking at the race tomorrow. I believe that I will complete the half marathon. I would like to finish in under 4 hours but at this point I will be glad to finish.
I will post tomorrow once I am back home. It should be a good race. The weather calls for sunny skies. The temperatures will be in the 30’s at around the starting time – 7:30AM. It should begin to warm up some. The high temp should be in the 60’s.
See ya tomorrow!!!!
