No Day at the Beach

Ah, so the last bike ride of 2007 started from Harwood, MD, which included a ride along the boardwalk at Chesapeake Beach. It was relatively warm (up to 60), no wind, but cloudy, making for a very nice 48-miler.


However, during the last 10 miles or so, I suffered from knee pain. UG! I had been doing so well! The next morning was slated for a 10 mile run. Needless to say, I only ran-walked 4. UG! Hmmm... I emailed the Myrtle Beach Marathon peeps to see about switching from the full to the 1/2 marathon. After all, there's no real need for me to do a winter marathon. I already know I can finish a marathon. It's more important for me to get and stay healthy for when the "real" Ironman training starts in the spring.
