Tipperary Hill Shamrock Run

Yesterday was our week 5 training run, and our first race as a team. We all met up at our teammate's apartment on Tipp Hill, down the street from the infamous upside-down traffic light. We couldn't have asked for better March weather for the race. I think it was probably mid-30's and sunny, little wind. The hills were great, and the PT I've been going through has helped a lot. I do a lot of strength training, not only in my calves and feet, but in my thighs, hamstring, and glutes as well, which has been great for the hills. My chip time was 43:12, a 10:48 pace. This was up 5:10 from last year.

A few days ago, I was talking with my PT about moving down to once a week and he was all for it. Even said I'd probably be done in a few weeks. Yesterday's run was quite encouraging because I felt very little tingle in my right foot and I pushed myself pretty hard.

After the race, met up with most of the team again at the apartment, then met up with other friends down at Nibsy's. Got a bite to eat before heading up to watch the SU game with even more peeps.

Now it's time to figure out how I'm going to go get my car up on the hill. lol...
