Team Clatterbuck

Today will be my first race since the half marathon in May. I’m nervous because I know I’m not as fast as I was 3 months ago. I plan to really take this one easy and see how my knee handles it. Worst case I stop running until January to give it time to completely heal, and then begin gradually training up for the St Patrick’s Day 5k (always my first race of the season). Best case I find out my knee is doing great, and I am able to train up to the Baltimore half marathon in October. It’ll be on roads rather than trails so it’ll be easier on the tendons.
And either way, there’ll be great wine there for after the race. The refreshments really are the most important part of the race after all.
