5.27 around the inlaws' neighborhood again. A definite contrast from yesterday - everyone was exhausted from the funeral and a big lunch, I kicked myself awake and snuck out for my run while the family was sleeping. Yesterday's morning run was sunny and warm; late afternoon today it was cloudy and cool. Felt pretty decent, but not as good as yesterday.

Ran 10 yesterday. The first four were pretty tough but I got into a groove and finished strong. Woke up early today to run 3 (was supposed to do these at my goal half-marathon pace) but felt pretty sluggish and only hit the right pace the last mile.

I ran today on the way home from the pool. Same plan as last Saturday. It seems to work well for me. I don't know if the pool gets me loosened up or what, but I had a 99% pain free run. Now that on the heels of a miserable run Thursday. So maybe I do better in the am, or post swim, who knows.
Now I just gotta make through my ride tomorrw....

Well, we had some nice weather for a good part of the afternoon today so I went for about a half-hour trail run. It was pretty soggy in places and I also stepped in the stream by accident while trying to run across stepping from rock to rock--I stepped onto a log that was slippery and slid right in! So I guess one could say I ran a-MUCK today
(and it was fun!). However, I'm definitely not in my best running shape--I felt slow and had to take a few walking breaks which I don't particularly like having to do.

Did 5km this morning. 1 min walk, 9 min run. Felt good. Legs, shins, feet all good. I was slow though. 38 min.

I iced my t.anterior the first time yesterday. Bought 2 little silicon cups so I can always have a large ice cube on hand.
I ran maybe 4k yesterday morning and plan to repeat tonight.
Can icing be used for sore tendons or attachment points too? I have another spot that could use some improvement. I think I will treat myself to another couple PT sessions anyway.It's a little secret you didn't know about us women. We're all closet Visigoths.

Felt pretty lazy today after blowing off cardio yesterday (I got in a decent Pilates workout though), hanging out with a friend, getting back at 2 a.m. - but just thinking about our Iron Women got me off my butt!
A similar loop to the last two days (not too many options around the inlaws' neighborhood), but for some unknown reason my feet were flying. 6.4 miles at an 8:35 pace
