The Month of October is Over...






Finally.

This past month has been a pretty long month for me. So long in fact that it took me nearly 2 weeks to get the nerve up to write this blog post. The last month has been a little rough when it comes to athletics. This is what my weekends were like:

- 27 Sept: 50km run in West Virginia. (The Big Schloss, 7:14)
- 4 Oct: 1/2 Ironman Duathalon (Run 5K - Bike 56 mi - Run 13.1 mi). (5:40, won my age group)
- 11 Oct: 5K fun run
- 18 Oct: OFF (ran a little bit to get ready for....)
- 26 Oct: Marine Corp Marathon (3:56)

Somehow I managed to get through all that with just some pain in my piriformis (hip) leading up to MCM. During the marathon, my knees and hip started really bothering me around mile 15 in the marathon and the 8:00 miles I was doing at the start turned into 10 minute miles towards the end as I struggled to the finish. After crossing the line, my legs, knees and left hip were KILLING me. I was a little worried the damage might be more than just requiring rest, but a week later I seem to be ok.

I went for a short run yesterday in my Vibrams 5 Fingers While my calf is a little tight after running in them, the run felt pretty good. Overall, the month of October had a high risk of injury and I'm very glad that I was able to enjoy all the running.

We finished the Schloss in 7:14 not 7:45!

Did you run the Schloss in your 5 Fingers? I broke down and bought a pair too - just need to find some trails or golf courses to run on.
