Another decision
I don’t think that I’ll be doing AustinFIT this year after all. My runs aren’t really lining up well with their schedule, and I know enough people who will be down on the trails that I don’t think finding long run partners will be a problem. Also, my coach Gilbert is leading a lot of Saturday long runs. It will take me until mid-November to get my mileage up to his LSD group’s, but after that point I’ll just hook up with him.
I chatted with him a little today - he wants me up to 25-30 mpw before starting my speedwork again. That’s fair enough. Looks like it’ll be about the beginning of October, and I’m already looking forward to it!
Enough talk - let’s go run.

It’s great that you have partners you can still hook up and a coach to consult with!
You are really being so thoughtful about this whole process…you should be proud of yourself for taking the time to figure out the best way to get stronger and stay injury-free at the same time.

Ya, I’ll echo Dianna’s comment. I missed a couple of your posts because I was away a couple of days but I wanted to say your decisions these past few days are very well thought our and positive ones. Better to focus on getting injury free and keep your eye on long term success.
Nice going as always Richard. You should tell us more about your coach. I’m intrigued! I have a co-worker (Nick) with world class running background who I often grill but he’s not my official coach! Neat that you have one.
