Well, this past week, I have to be honest and say I totally slacked off my drills that were assigned to me. I think I have lost some steam and motivation. Not to mention, I am a little beaten down by 10 straight days of exercising.
But, I did run Monday and tried to Wednesday:
MONDAY-
Went to the track for a 40 minute run/walk combo. I felt pretty good and my lower legs did not burn. Calves felt a little twitchy... but it was OK. I ended up running 1.14 miles (not straight!) and walking 28 m. I went a total of 3.2 miles.
WEDNESDAY-
Went to the track for a 40 minute run/walk combo. My lower legs on the inside were pretty tight and not feeling too good. But I figured I would be able to muster up some running. WRONG! Just trying to run HURT too much. The pain was so bad my form was not correct. So, I ditched trying to run and just stuck to walking. It hurt to walk even. I tried a few drills, but those hurt too. So, I did 2 miles and 30 mintues of walking. My boyfriend was very sweet and walked the whole way with me, even though he needed to run. I kept encouraging him to run... but he declined.
TODAY (Thursday)-
Went to see my coach for the 18th week. I almost cancelled because I am riding 100 miles on Saturday, but he said we would take it easy.
So, I got the "sports massage" on my legs and we did just one drill to help strengthen some fine muscles in my lower legs. This will hopefully stop the pain I am experiencing on the insides of my legs.
That is all I need to do for the next week.
