I saw Dr Gennaro and got the reluctant okay to jog (not run) 3 miles. He was really reluctant and I was really interested in doing it and a bit scared to not and a bit scared to do it.
So, he gave me all this stuff to do prior - heat and various dynamic stretches.
I was excited.
I did the heat and then took the short car ride over to the school. I did the high knee stretch, I did the 'kick your butt' stretch, then I started the forward lunge stretch.
VERY, VERY UNGOOD. My quad screamed and yelled and protested and hated me.
I then tried the side step, drag stretch and it didn't like that either.
Then I started a slow jog. Nope, ain't gonna happen without ruining all of the gains I have made to date.
I see Heather tomorrow, I will DWR tomorrow, I will see heather and Dr G on Friday.
I am disappointed and worried. I am not defeated, so I do not need cheering up or anything. I will be in the marathon and I will finish it.
The crowd will really help on the big day, I swear!
