Lesson Learned - Mississauga Race Report

As some of you who have read my thread in the training forum, I was heading into this race with a sinus infection. On Friday and into Saturday I was still very iffy whether to run or not. Sunday morning came around, I was pretty congested but decided to go for it. It was a mistake! First 15k were ok...

I am actually feeling a lot better this morning. Had a 9 hour sleep last night!

I went to the expo which is down the street from my house and it made me itch to get out there and run.

We'll see what happens! :shock:

Still feel miserable. I'm literally 50/50 on it right now. You guys are making me lean towards not running it though. London is always an option..

Ive gone through a dozen pairs of the reebok kfs control. I love them. They are great for more moderate pronation, and are based on the same shoe as the kfs stability. I used to wear the stability but moved on to the control at the advice of a gait analysis. Shoes are comfortable and not overly heav...

Days always switch for me.. For instance I had 32k scheduled for this weekend, but I ended up doing no running so I'm doing my normal run tomorrow and the long run on Tuesday. Throws things off a bit but its better than not doing it at all.
