So apparently my running yesterday did result in some minor Monday morning discomfort. Initially I had thought that I would go for a gentle longer run on my day off. I would get up early and head out, instead my knee was a bit more uncomfortable. Not wanting to push the level of discomfort to … Continue reading Ouch
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
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
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
Travel Day
Today we traveled to Massachusetts for the family celebration of my sister-in-law's wedding. From our house to MA, it's roughly an eight hour drive. Sometimes more when the state of Connecticut decides it wants to be jerk-face and cause a bunch of travel issues. The drive today wasn't horrible. It wasn't our best time but … Continue reading Travel Day
Rest Day With Hornworms and Planks
It's Monday so of course I mowed the lawn! Granted last week I used it as my cross training event, this week I decided to just do it on my rest day. It was a bit cooler than yesterday, when I had initially planned to do it but was too tired. I had initially planned … Continue reading Rest Day With Hornworms and Planks
Sunday Funday But No Cross Training
Sunday, a day of rest or in the case of my training plan-a day of cross training. I focused more on the rest portion of the concept. Church took up the morning portion of the day and after a shopping expedition to buy new khaki pants we just relaxed. We tried a new restaurant (or … Continue reading Sunday Funday But No Cross Training
Raining Rest Day!
It was raining sideways today! The weather service put out a flash flood warning for the Frederick area. Typically even on rest days I still walk a bit at lunch time with my friend and co-worker Dennis. But as lunch time grew closer the clouds started rolling in. By the time we usually walk the … Continue reading Raining Rest Day!
