Despite the terrible race on Sunday, my legs are actually feeling great. My mind, on the other hand, is racing with crazy thoughts. Since it caught me by surprise that I would feel so good post race, I have half a mind to think that I should run the DC National marathon this Saturday. Is that crazy? Is it smart? Is it okay to do? I have no idea. This is where I'm treading on uncharted territory and I need a navigational guide to direct me. I've done marathons back to back, but there's been a minimum of 3 weeks in between. This would just be 6 days. I'm already registered, my sister-in-law was planning on me staying with her, it's an easy drive north, I'm feeling recovered.....so why not? I'll check all my books. Tomorrow will be an easy 3-4 mile run followed by an hour of massage therapy. I think I'll have a better idea then.
If I don't race this weekend, then June 18th is on my calendar. Grandma's Marathon!! Been there, done that one, liked it, set a PR there, weather is usually cold in Duluth in June.... Some how need to get in a 3:40 before Sept. 14th, it's killing me.
Hematology appointment yesterday gave me insights into my recent bouts with fatigue, headaches. Like usual, hemoglobin has dropped once again. Next month will be another iron infusion at the cancer center and then I'll feel like She-Ra again! (old cartoon).
So, contemplating, contemplating, contemplating....feeling indecisive.....marathon on Saturday, marathon on June 18, or skipping it altogether and just hope that I can get into Boston.... okay, so option C is not an option.
