Happy holidays start at a starting line
Back in September, on my last long run while training for the Kansas City Marathon, I tore my calf muscle. My doctor said I would be out 4-6 weeks and miss the marathon (3 weeks away), but I told him that wasn’t happening and tried to run it anyway. My leg lasted all of 5 miles. I was so devastated — to train all summer and not complete it was just gut-wrenching. Anyway, the Thanksgiving Day run was my first real run (short of a few little training runs 2-3 miles) since the injury, and it still bothered me quite a bit, but not
enough to stop the run, so it was more of a nagging pain than an injury. As the altitude there was 4,300 feet and we’re around 980 in Kansas City, there was a little bit of altitude difference to deal with. That, coupled with my time off, meant two things — I was going really slow, and I had to walk a little up the hills. I finished though and felt better for it.
After the race,
everyone was extremely pleased to know that Garmin had provided t-shirts and bags as their swag for this run. I was more than happy to tell them about our latest Forerunner watches and invite all of them out to the Garmin Marathon, starting right here at Garmin headquarters, on April 20, 2013. Ft. Leavenworth is just right down the road!
