OK, I guess I'll start the thread.
I haven't run in a week. I decided to give it a rest as I figured out that most of my weird stuff I've been experiencing is just a fibro. flare up. My experiment proved that running isn't aggravating anything, though, since the symptoms didn't really abate. However, it's winding it's course and since i know I am not going to die from this by now, I go on. The week off did give my cranky hip a chance to rest.
Today I ran 3.6 miles with a .4 mile warm up and a half a mile cool down. The cross street into my neighborhood is blocked off, so I couldn't do a loop and I had to run a course with more rollers/and climbing. I did figure out that I could run to the Old North Bridge and back and do a 10.k probably. That's my next goal.
I was slow, but I am going for distance right now and then will work on speed. I don't want to stress myself too much. The first 2 miles I had a 10:40 av and the last 1.6 miles it dropped to 12.20. Weird, since I felt strong and like I was going faster at the end.
Oh, and I noticed during the week I didn't run that my weight crept up a pound or two, even with riding. Great, now I have one more thing I can't stop doing...
