Cuyamaca 6k, Update

Here are some recent race results:

10/20/12 Cougar Challenge 8k - 26:24/22nd

11/3/12 Cuyamaca 6k - 18:59/3rd

I had planned on competing at the San Diego Association meet this past weekend but was forced to pull out at 2k because of an issue I've been having with a minor rib injury. Who knew you could aggravate a rib by sitting in one position too long?
If you think you can, you will! 

Disregarding this past weekend's DNF this fall's training progression has been going very well. I have continued to improve my strength and flexibility and been able to alleviate a lot of the pain I had once felt down my leg. In turn my running has been able to improve. I'm still a long way off of where I would like to be but I'm ever optimistic.

I have two more races planned (Dana Point Turkey Trot and US Club XC) however both of those now depend on how my mysterious rib injury heals and available funds ($$$).

To end I'll comment on the picture to the right. It's pretty self-explanatory and it's message is clear. The power of positive thinking (one of my Ps I try to practice- Patience, Perseverance, and Positivity) goes a long way in making dreams and plans a reality. Plus, no one wants to be around a Debbie Downer!

Happy Running!
