Today was a rest a day. Shocker given the title of the blog. I did walk at lunch today but other than that I was pretty stationary. My knee is doing ok. There is occasional cracking but nothing horrible like I have been experiencing. I am in hopes that the icing and Advil have helped … Continue reading Rest Day Monday
Rest Day Friday
I actually took today as an actual rest day, I didn't even walk at lunch. Though I will admit that was mostly because I have been trying to get my blog caught up. I have been remiss in my blogging duties as of late. I feel like my struggles in training have carried over into … Continue reading Rest Day Friday
The frustration continues
Once again I slept through the alarm. Once again my knee is bothering me....no issues with my eyelashes. (See yesterdays blog for this reference) The pain was pretty bad today, bad enough that I had to bring out my hinged knee brace and wear it to the office. I felt immediate relief once I put … Continue reading The frustration continues
Post race recovery
Monday is my planned rest day. Something that I greatly took after the excitement of yesterday. I thankfully didn't have any issues with pain or soreness after yesterday's run, minus some slight discomfort from the bee stings. The biggest factor was some degree of fatigue. In terms of post race, next day feeling, I felt pretty … Continue reading Post race recovery
Friday blues
Friday should be a happy day. End of the work week but I am frustrated and worried about the missed miles this week. I am trying not to beat myself up too horribly but am struggling as the knee issue has dragged on, seemed better and then reared its head again. My knee was better … Continue reading Friday blues
Back to work
Another day of sleep being greater than running. When my alarm went off I just felt incredibly tired. Combined with my knee feeling a bit rough I decided to punk out this morning. The original plan for the day, and the promise I made with myself is that I would sleep in this morning and then … Continue reading Back to work
Nine and a half hour travel day
Today was the travel day that wouldn't end. We left at 4 am, making it yet another short night. We had anticipated some degree of morning commuter traffic but did not expect to spend nine and a half hours in the car WITHOUT any side trips or adventures. The culprit wasn't Connecticut as expected, but … Continue reading Nine and a half hour travel day
Sleep > Miles
It was another moderately late night. By the time I crawled into bed I had been awake for almost 20 hours straight (minus maybe 30 minutes of dozing in the car yesterday). I ended up going to bed without Jesi since my intention was to get up and run. However when the alarm went off … Continue reading Sleep > Miles
Travel Day and Fan Girling
Three a.m. came incredibly early. Not that three a.m. isn't incredibly early to begin with. After a late bedtime the alarm went off just a few short hours after our heads hit the pillow. Unlike previous trips, we took a little side trip to Captain Scott's Lobster Dock. We are both huge fans of Casey … Continue reading Travel Day and Fan Girling
Late Thursday night = no Friday run
After my second run last night I had choir practice. After catching up with friends after practice and by the time we had dinner-it was nearly 10:30 pm so when the alarm went off at 4:30 my body protested. My inability to get up and get moving was not only from lack of sleep but … Continue reading Late Thursday night = no Friday run
