no pain in my quad this morning. good news :-)
wyatt is sick with sinus infections & couldn't run. bad news:-(
so I got another hour of sleep :-) and ran alone :-(
I have a long run next Saturday and don't want to over-do it with my quad, so I just went at an easy pace and kept the miles lower than the suggested training guide, which has me doing low miles next week & big miles this week.
avg pace 9:25. splits: (it's like a rollercoaster...) 9:47, 9:32, 9:27, 9:26, 9:42, 9:32, 9:53, 9:16, 9:16, 8:58, 8:50. walked for 1.3 miles after, and used the roller again.
i didn't have the leg pain, but after using the roller, it seemed like I had achey muscles a little. Is this normal as I get used to the roller, or just a coincidence?
Almost ran on top of a cotton mouth snake. I don't know how, but I didn't see it till I almost stepped on it. It's head was right on the white line I was running on. Luckily, it's head was smashed it (fairly recently), but it was hard to tell at first glance. I'm glad I slept in. An hour earlier, and that snake might not have been dead yet.
This is why I HATE having to run in the grass on the side of the road. Sometimes with cars coming in both directions, I just have to do it, but when there's only one car on the road and it's coming toward me, WHY can't they give me a little space so I don't have to go in the grass?
Actually, most people do. It's just a few who don't move an inch. And of those few, 89% of them are women. Why is that??? Hhhmmmmmmm.... |
