Mo' rest. You?
URD. I had planned to swim, but have a sore arm. And my knee acted up during and a few hours after yesterday's walk/run. Nothing but a PT appointment.
20,000 miles behind me, the world still to see.
Another 2-3 mile marathon, a walk with my friend, and some grass cutting. SSDD.
Thinking maybe I'll try a workout at the track tonight with the club. If I decide not to, I'll run easy at lunch.

Easy miles fo' sho'
2 days of speed work in a row is leaving me sore!

Happy Wednesday, internet! Back to work after a glorious day off yesterday. Today is looking like an easy run in the 40 minute range, then probably some pedaling of the spin bike afterwards.

I am curious what those workouts were. I was doing two over a three day span during my last marathon cycle. Usually a 60 minute hard effort progression run one day, and a 60-90 minute hard tempo run the other day. Those second workouts always hurt even with an easy day in between.
Mmmmm...beer
What up buttercups?
Haven't had a lot of internet time lately, but my running is going great! My easy pace is dropping like a rock, it's crazy, the hills are working their magic.
So apparently I test really well with senior citizens. Yesterday I'm out running, shirtless in the 80* Carolina sun (love it!), and I pass a couple of ladies who were probably in their 70s. I always wave and say hi to everyone I encounter while running, so I said good afternoon and asked how they were doing, one lady said that she's good and asks how I am, I said, "I'm great!", and then she says, "Mmmhmmm, I can see that!". I about died, probably the funniest thing I've had happen to me while running. I'm not gonna lie tho, a compliment from anyone is still very motivating, that ended up being a 6:54 mile! LOL
Hope everyone has been doing well! Gonna try to go through some RRs later if I can find the time.

Morning.
Area around my hotel is not very runnable, but found a park a couple miles away with an asphalt path around the perimeter, and even actual bathrooms. (Where's the PM when you're prepared for it?) Only 0.7 miles around, so a lot of loops, but can't complain. I am in Houston and DP is currently 70. There was a breeze and it felt OK, just not used to actually being this sweaty after an early morning run at this point in the season.
8 miles easy.
(D: "I dream of running in 70 DP!" Just saving you some keystrokes.)

Hiya Dailies.
The soreness is just about gone. That seemed to happen pretty quickly this time. I'm going to do my core work later today but no running yet. I want to go out and do a few easy miles on the track but some extra rest is probably good for my knee. Bleh... I'm getting sick of that thing. It's almost time to go to the doc but I know he's just going to say "You run so you need to rest and ice." Whatever.
D2 - Out getting the ol' ladies' heart rates up!
So, my PT didn't seem overly concerned about the pain in my knee yesterday, just said to hold off on any downhill slopes a little longer, back off bridging exercises that might be putting more force on the knee for a few days, and keep focusing on isometric holds and my hamstrings. Plus, listen to my body. Got it.

I actually got to run yesterday and go to the gym. But this morning didn't happen because now DH has a really bad sore throat and feels like shit, while Dorian is slowly feeling better though still has a cough and a runny nose...........

Morning! I have Pilates tonight. woke up with a sore throat so I am getting sick, meh.
D2, so funny. All I got in Columbia for running with a bra was to put something on because people don't do that in public. That person must never come to Miami then.
