So a little of what has happened since the Trailbreaker Half Marathon last April. I started training for the Fox Valley Marathon which would have happened in September 2013 and on my birthday no less. The training went well, until something went wrong with my foot in late July on a long run. A few weeks of rest pretty much solved that issue, but my fitness to go 26.2 was also gone as well.
As you may or may not know I referee High School and Club Soccer and refereeing at those levels usually involves anywhere between 3-5 miles of start/stop running (think wind sprints for old guys). The fields can be either perfectly smooth turf, and provide a pounding fast experience, or the fields are rough and chewed up from football games and every step is an uncertain one.
Anyway I let the fitness levels I had achieved handle the soccer season, which I did quite a bit easier then I thought it would, and let the Fox Valley Marathon slide.
