I have been kind of holding off on making too many plans for 2015 because of my knee. I had an MRI on Sunday and I am hoping to get some answer soon. I am supposed to be running my first race of the year this Saturday but I am not quite sure if I am going to run it pending the results of the MRI.
I am not in any shape to race so if I am able to run it I will be taking it very easy. I don't like the idea but it is that or nothing at all. I would rather be running at my easy pace than not running at all. I don't have any pain while running which is why I have been given the okay to keep running. I have been keeping my runs in the single digits and the pain has been minimal the following day. My runs have been at my easy pace but I will take it over being completely sidelined which is kind of the worst feeling in the world at times.

As far as races, I have a few that I deferred last year for one reason or another so I am going to take care of those races this year. Here are the races that I have lined up so far:
April 10-11, 2015 So Cal Ragnar Relay
May 24, 2015: Mountains 2 Beach Marathon
June 6, 2015: Fontana Days Run
September 13, 2015: Ventura Half Marathon
I am also considering Phoenix in the end of February and Canyon City in November but I am holding off until I have the knee problem under control. I really dislike the feeling of registering for races and then having to sit them out. The pressure to run them anyway is just crazy!
I am also holding off on setting any big goals for 2015 but as soon as I have some answers I will sort it all out and see what I am physically capable of this year. I have to be patient and I am doing my best to get through this. I hope to get some good news this week so that I can set some goals and finalize my plans for 2015!
Do you have any big plans for 2015?
I'm hoping for the best from your MRI results and that I get to see you on Saturday!
ReplyDeleteMy goals went up last week, but basically: marathon PR, 1000 miles for the year, and some financial well-being progress!

Girlie, I am praying that your knee is nothing serious. Not only because it is sucky but also because you have some great races coming up!
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed for you and your MRI results!! Looks like a great year taking shape though!!
