Pain in the AS

As Philip previously mentioned, we are "training" for a half marathon. I use the term "training" loosely. I'm not the type person that follows a strict schedule very well and my preparation for this race has reflected that. When we first decided to do this I researched training plans and picked one I thought I could stick to. I stuck to the plan for about 5 minutes after I printed it out and I've been winging it ever since. My typical running week consists of only three runs. An early week run of 4-6 miles, a mid week run of 5-7 miles, and a long run on the weekend. This weekend it was supposed to be 9 miles. Truth be told I haven't run since last Wednesday (ask August and Philip when it was that they last ran) and then it was only four miles. My AS (ankylosing spondylitis) has been acting up and has had me sidelined since then, but I hope I can get back to it by this Wednesday. If not, you know what they say... "Sometimes you eat the bear, and sometimes, well, he eats you."
