Epsom salt baths are the bees knees. I took one last night as a last resort for my gravelly knee-low and behold this morning I had minimal pain. As a result I decided to take my knee out for a spin, naked. Well my knee was naked, I was wearing clothes. It was a pretty … Continue reading Naked knee running
Finally able to run, but a little bummed
I was finally able to run. Did four miles. It felt great. I had no pain in my back, my legs felt ready to go. I was so ready for this run. I was excited to run with Becky and Regina since it had been a couple weeks. But the vibe of the run just … Continue reading Finally able to run, but a little bummed
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
My first ever trail run
My first ever trail run. It was pretty fantastical. It wasn't particularly fast but I would call it a success. I was feeling a little tired in the morning after yesterdays miles, but physically my body felt ok. I got up and stretched a little before heading to Regina's house. Regina was kindly taking me … Continue reading My first ever trail run
Making up the miles
I did something I have never done before, I made up my week day missed miles the day before doing my weekly long run. Between the falling asleep while stretching incident and flat out missing miles, I needed to make up 6.8 miles to get my weekly mileage back up to what my training schedule … Continue reading Making up the miles
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
Not quite the day I had planned
Today wasn't quite the training day that I had planned. Mostly because I didn't get up to train. Jesi surprised me last night with tickets to the local theater production of You're A Good Man Charlie Brown, so we were out later than usual. I hadn't slept particularly well so when the alarm went off, … Continue reading Not quite the day I had planned
Falling asleep while stretching
7 miles! I was set to do seven miles. I had my alarm set. My clothes laid out. I had my route planned. When the alarm went off, I hit snooze once and then realized I needed to get moving if I wanted to get my seven miles completed. I realized that my left Achilles … Continue reading Falling asleep while stretching
Drizzly morning and a new audio book
It was kind of drizzly this morning, it was that kind of rain that you wish would either start fully or stop. It was just enough to be annoying and to make it humid. I started out way too fast. I wanted to try and cut down my mile one time (typically my slowest) just … Continue reading Drizzly morning and a new audio book
