Early run with my neighbor. She's trying to recover from some tendonitis in her foot and she's going to a PT who said they'd "scrape her feet." WHAT does that mean?
We averaged a 9:13, didn't really push the speed too much, and I was okay with that because I ran fast Monday and did those fartleks last night.
My foot didn't hurt running, but at the end of the run, my freaky knee (which hasn't bothered me in ages) started hurting in a new place. I was going to run 2 more miles after we finished, but jumped on the elliptical for 20 minutes instead, and then I decided to lay in bed and ice it instead of doing ab ripper x. No regrets :-)
Taking the afternoon off of running. I noticed my mileage last week jumped up from my December totals. I may need to ease into the higher miles a little more slowly. And I'm kind of disappointed when I say that because "higher miles" right now only means "over 20."
Wait, what am I complaining about? I was supposed to be recovering and taking it easy in December, so I'm not going to whine that my miles were so low. I'm ready to play it smart! |
