No naked knee this morning-but there was running. I was scheduled for five miles but did three. Just to get myself back in the swing of things. The brace helped quite a bit and the Mumford & Sons kept me moving along. It was my fastest three mile run but I still managed to do … Continue reading Non-naked knee
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
Two-a-days
Today was a two-a-day kind of work out. My goal is to get a mid week longer mile run complete. Ideally I would like to get it done in one shot, but realistically I know that anything more than five miles during a work day is going to be challenging. Knowing that I run in … Continue reading Two-a-days
Four miles before work
I put in four miles this morning before work. It was the longest pre-work solo run I have done thus far during training. The moon was beautiful, it's not quite full but it was still bright enough with a slight cloud border to make the run serene and light. My knee is still super gravelly, … Continue reading Four miles before work
Five in under an hour
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
Mixing it up
I revisited the Thursday run tonight. I wasn't 100% sure how it would go or really how I would react if things get acrimonious. However I was pleasantly surprised to learn that Marilyn would be there. This would be Marilyn's first Thursday run with the group. Also, our occasional running partner Annalette would also be … Continue reading Mixing it up
The fastest ever, if only in my head
These mid-week longer distances runs are becoming a bit of a challenge. I can't get them done before work, unless I choose to get up at 3:00 am. And getting them done after work presents the issues of being tired and being out longer than expected. The Wednesday run is always the challenge of balancing … Continue reading The fastest ever, if only in my head
It hurts…
Oh god, everything hurts today. Yesterday I had some slight discomfort in my glutes but today I have pain in my glutes and my quads. They always say that two days out is usually the worst and I would agree. Add on top of that I got up and ran this morning. I didn't want … Continue reading It hurts…
Five miles and an expo
Technically, it was five and a half miles though the half mile was a warm up with some slight cross training (for lack of a better phrase). Mom mentioned wanting to walk together so I met her at her house before my run. Before we left for our walk I carried some concrete stepping stones … Continue reading Five miles and an expo
Another spontaneous race
I made another slightly spontaneous decision to run a race this weekend. Yesterday while running Regina had mentioned that a few of the people that would be running in the Annapolis 10 Miler pushing John had bailed. She didn't specify who or what reason, other than to say that she would be pushing John by … Continue reading Another spontaneous race
