Note
Decided I am not going to go to WOC.
It's nice to be selected for a few races, but I am just not in shape, which is a shame, but it is what it is. I had mostly decided this about a week or so ago, but I was holding on to run a race against myself as a test. Barring anything extraordinary I was still pretty set on the decision.
I haven't had a solid month of training yet in 2017, and the last month or so has been minimal training, and more focused on becoming injury-free long-term. I don't want to go to WOC with no prep, and I still wouldn't be able to do any decent training between now and WOC anyway.
Right now, I can kind of run, but even on grass my ankle is sore and a bit uncomfortable, so hey. I'm fairly busy with the dissertation and that anyway, so I'll just leave it this year, look towards getting back running and who knows, hopefully next year.
