nervous wait till the event

My leg still hurts. Adding fuel to the fire, my left ITB has flared up again. Never ends all these newbie injuries...Mr Chiro thinks the ITB flared up because of my dodgy left knee. That's not unexpected as I do have a dodgy left knee. It hasn't been an issue for a while until now.

It's just under 4 weeks till the HK race (ahem, more like...the "event" - I don't, and would never consider myself "racing" a marathon!) and I am hoping things will go ok. I don't expect my dream time, given my recently adopted slow mo pace, I will be happy to finish on the average time of 4:15.

I thought of just taking a massive break after the race and just focus on the gym, but that means giving everything away. All those training will simply do down the drain. The thing about running is that, once you stop, you really feel it. Whereas paddling, as long as you still have your technique and muscles intact, off you go! Partly the reason why I still love paddling.
