The gravelly knee still persists, but it seems slightly better today. It still makes some wretched sounds when I bend it. And it seems to track a little oddly. That being said, there is no pain when I manipulate it. I'm thinking that I have either arthritis (despite one of the church lady's assertion that … Continue reading Five in under an hour
No running but a clean house
My knee was about the same today, still gravely and creaky. But at least I ended up getting the house super clean. I started the morning off with breakfast at iHop with my mom. It was a good morning for discussion and pancakes. We spent a few hours together and it seemed to help air … Continue reading No running but a clean house
Rest day with knee pain
UGH! I finally got my back squared away and I woke up this morning with a sore left knee. It started out not horrible, just a little sore. Advil and water were the diet of the day. I walked at lunch and it didn't seem too awful. In fact I seem to get some relief … Continue reading Rest day with knee pain
Sluggish
I felt so incredibly sluggish today. I had no desire to do much but slowly walk about the office. I did put in a few laps at lunch but other than that I was fairly sedentary. It was known around the office that I was going to be doing the 10-miler yesterday, I got a … Continue reading Sluggish
No running just some walking
My back is feeling better today. There is only a slight twinge, but thankfully I could put on shoes without issue or swearing. I was going to run this morning when my alarm went off but I decided against it because ironically my back felt better. Since it felt better I didn't want to rush … Continue reading No running just some walking
No miles today
Tuesday, typically a day of three miles. But today it was a day of no miles, not even walking at lunch time miles. The pain in my back is better! I'm relieved about that but it's not better enough. And by better enough I mean I still grunt/groan/quietly swear when I have to put on … Continue reading No miles today
Monday morning back pain
It would seem that the tumble I took yesterday might have done a bit more damage than initial thought indicated. I have been struggling with some lower back pain the last week. The onset is the result of last Tuesday morning, I felt a twinge when I pushed my mile time a little bit in … Continue reading Monday morning back pain
Sometimes you need to sleep
I got up! I was going to run. I truly was. But I ended up deciding that running three this morning and four tomorrow and then 10+ on Sunday might not be the best use of training time. I hemmed and hawed. Fighting with myself for almost ten minutes while standing at the end of … Continue reading Sometimes you need to sleep
Rest day and a party
I had thought about making up the miles I missed. I thought of getting up moderately early and heading out to do some make up miles. I didn't have too many to make up this week, just four, so I figured it would be an easy run around the neighborhood with minimal time spent. But … Continue reading Rest day and a party
Well That Didn’t Go As Planned
No Saturday long run for me today; something invaded my stomach so I spent the day resting and planning.
