Today’s Run: \u00a02.32 miles<\/p>\n
I ran today! \u00a0It was uncomfortable at the beginning and it flat out hurt by the end. \u00a0Rats. \u00a0It sure felt good to be out there, though!<\/p>\n
Having gone two complete days without running, without any form of exercise at all aside from walking the dog, I am going nuts! \u00a0I need my endorphin’s, those happy hormones. \u00a0It was not meant to be. \u00a0Yet.<\/p>\n
Today’s route was a hilly route. \u00a0The running group had two routes today a 12.0 mile loop and a 15.8 mile loop. \u00a0I thought I was being conservative in selecting the 12.0 mile loop but it was hilly. \u00a0Hmmm, so was the 15.8 mile loop for that matter \u00a0 \u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
Leaving the meeting house involves going downhill from the get-go. \u00a0That is what was so uncomfortable. \u00a0The downhill. \u00a0After the downhill, it was flat for a fair distance. \u00a0Then the hills started and I knew pretty quick that this was not going to work. \u00a0Not with the hills.<\/p>\n
If today’s route had been flat, I think I could have done the 12 mile loop. \u00a0The flat did not bother me. \u00a0Much. \u00a0Darn those hills!<\/p>\n
So, I was able to run a little bit today. \u00a0It felt great to be out on the road again! \u00a0For being on the injured list, my pace was consistent and not too terribly slow (all things considered). \u00a0I was just tickled to be able to be out there!!!<\/p>\n
My quad compression sleeve should arrive on Monday. \u00a0Tuesday or Wednesday I will give it the ol’ college try and see what my leg has to say about that!<\/p>\n
The good news…my leg is not as sore as I thought it would be from trying to run on it this morning, so I know it is healing. Bells and Whistles to that!!! \u00a0And yes, I know, “Patience is a Virtue.” \u00a0I will wait until it is safe to run on it again without causing further injury.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
