I've signed up to do a half IM tri in August. Yesterday was my first run in a very long time. I slept in about 45 minutes longer this morning. I love weekends because I can sleep as much as I want. That's usually about 8.5 hours.
My quads are sore and whatever that muscle is on the front of my shin - anterior tibialis? Anyway... I was stretching while I was waiting for my coffee to finish brewing and I blurted out, "Oh my god!" Thom looks over, with a worried look and I shout out, "My knee doesnt hurt!" Now I know it's actually my hamstring that was the issue, but I'm used to saying knee because it hurt behind my knee.
I did have a little setback with the hamstring earlier this week. I wear regular shoes on my commute bike and of course I wear different shoes, different days. The shoes I wore on Wed. were not right and caused the hamstring to be unhappy again. I need to get the fit just right on that bike. We're thinking of turning the Rambouillet back into my commuter. It will be easier to get the set up just right and maybe just sticking with my bike shoes on the bike and carrying my work shoes back and forth. It's a little bit of a hassle, but I like not hurting!
The more I move, the less sore I feel from running. Time to go to do some housework I guess.
